What would Jesus think of universal health care?
He'd think....... "Hallelujah...... my work is done"

Government: Sorry sir, your insurance plan does not meet our arbitrarily set government standards, and your are going to prison.

Citizen: What about my children?

Government: They will be wards of the state sir. Now put on that orange jumpsuit and move along.


Nope, I don't think that is very Christian.

Maybe he would walk into every health insurance building and overturn the tables saying that profit should NOT be the criteria to heal the sick ...................................

He'd think, "While I doth think I can see the nobility in this enterprise, I must say a health scheme run by Pontius Pilate and his fun-loving Centurions might not be so humane. Therefore, render onto Caesar what is Caesars."

People are missing the joke:



Jesus won't heal this guy because he was sick before he was a Christian; similar to how insurance companies refuse too. In either case you're ****ed. Its been a few days and I still laugh every time I see this photo. Imagine if they made it billboard on the interstate; people would be laughing so hard they would wreck their cars.

If you read the bible 'he certainly won't approve of the wanting to charge just the rich . He would expedct people to help their brotherr by actaully doing so themsleves ;not shifting the burden to others while avoiding the cost themselves.That is clear when he talks of the servant stealig from his master.

Have you ever heard the phrase "what would Jesus do"? aka WWJD
I don't think Jesus would ask about pre-existing conditions. Yet Republicans constantly insist the US is a Christian nation?

Or maybe he would condemn us for getting involved in wars of choice (war for that matter) and having bases around the world that cost 500 Billion a year to operate and tell us to STOP and use that money to help pay for universal health care Or maybe he would just tell us we are hopeless - we never have learned a thing and disappear again until we get it right.

Zakat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christians do missions work to help people. We do not convert at the point of a gun, like Muslims (a false religion) do. We do not kill "infidels". It is not God's commandment to do such. God only commanded that we spread the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ.

One may accept or reject (as Muslims do) the Gospel. Those who believe have eternal life. Those who reject God receive eternal separation from God (Hell).

Sorry. I think you indicated which side you are on by the hyrogliphics you posted (whatever they mean) Obviously, you are a Muslim (probably terrorist) unbeliever. Get lost.l

You may go public with your beliefs, even if it makes you appear foolish to others. I believe "abortion" is a personal and private matter, and is not for other people to decide for the woman. MYOB is my motto.
Since we're on the subject of assumptions, I would imagine you support this:?

George Tiller Killed: Abortion Doctor Shot At Church

So, who is worse, Tiller, or the doctor?
Oh, so killing is a "personal and private matter"? Interesting.

Last time I checked, murder was a Federal Offense.

Being against killing of innocent children makes me "foolish"? Oh, please. How disgusting. You make me want to puke! I can hardly imagine anything more detestible or cruel. Barbaric. Clearly inhumane.

How could anyone support the dismemberment of a child in the womb. How grisly can one be? There is nothing worse. Nothing more worthy of eternal condemnation.

But for those who have suffered under this practice and realized their error, there is forgiveness in Christ. He will remember your sin no more, if you ask for forgiveness. He is trustworthy. He will forgive, if you ask. And so will your Christian brothers and sisters. That is what Christianity is all about. Do not be afraid to confess. You will not be turned away.
