"However, conservatives gave about 30 percent more money per year to private charitable causes, even though his study found liberal families earned an average of 6 percent more per year in income than did conservative families."
Don't conservatives donate mostly to overseas and foreign places to help hungry children?
Or TV evangelists?
I think of Cindy McCain when asked by a magazine what she would do if she were First Lady. She said she'd invite young Americans to serve OVERSEAS to aid the poor. She never said a single thing about helping the USA.
The same question was asked to Michelle Obama. She said she'd help our military families.
Balony. I -- nor any other Christian -- is "forced" to do a damn thing in the "name of Jesus."
Ok. I'll bite. Who gets the bill? Another straw-man argument. Churches (and that can include ANY, ANYTHING, or ANYBODY) get a tax-exemption from the IRS. Not just Christian churches.

Ahh no, please provide something resembling evidence.
People with no healthcare suffer, and go blind, and lose the ability to walk, and they die every day- you just choose not to see it.
We are debating what Jesus would think about it due to the OP's post. You came on this thread the same way I did...to hear opinions about it.
We have an enormous saftey net in the US. I do not doubt that some people fall throught he cracks. We can certainly help these people without incuring trillions of dollars in debt or taking away peoples choices in health care.
I did come to read others opinions and have found nothing but political opinion dressed up as religion. My opinion is as valid as the religous persons.
Is this the "Let's think of something stupid" thread?
Cannot believe that what Jesus might have thought is a thread and being taken so seriously...lmao.

Dude. the Bible is a LIVING document...
There have been many great posts on here already. I suggest you read them all.
The Bible said not to steal. Never said to take from the rich and give to the poor.
The Bible said to give to others, it did not say to force others to give. Because forcing something from someone is stealing..... DUH
