I altered your post to point out that none of these actions humans print themselves license to inflict should be construed as "God approved". This includes sophia's post.

LOL how true. Interesting God they got there.

I mean you would think someone who created the entire earth and its inhabitants in days would be able to figure out a way to care for his "children".

It's amazing what sort of lengths some people will go to just to avoid answering a simple question. It must really be uncomfortable for them to have to think hard about things they prefer to ignore.

Thats because banning abortion and gay marraige don't cost social conservatives any money.

However feeding starving children. Providing medical care to children in need. Allowing benefits to the partners of gays, those can all cost money.

I find social conservatives to be like those that Jesus condemned in the bible. The ones who went into the front of the synogogue and prayed loudly. The ones that made an effort to look like they were fasting.

If you believe in God, then God will judge you for your actions and motives when you die.

Social conservatives are not conservatives.

And God really does have better things to do, one would hope.

Ignorant, simple-minded single issue voters present more of a long term danger to this country than any muslim with a dynamite belt.

God does care... God is all knowing... it is the human element that ignores, sins and worships none important things which breeds greed and corruption of the soul. Read all of Matthew Chapter 13 verse 1-58 mankind today is at that time of reaping are you ready?

Well honestly most of the social "conservatives" I've met weren't paying much in taxes anyway and had families that were definitely taking more in government aid than they were paying in. Most of the people I meet that complain about taxes probably aren't paying much anyway.

I think she reduced the number of starving children by eating them.

American kids are constantly surrounded by soft drinks, hamburgers, fries, cheetos, snickers bars, pizza, milkshakers, hotdogs, cookies, etc. We are definitely not a country of starvers. We ain't Somalia homey. Even your average homeless person the streets of America eats more than your average Somalian.

Why bring God into it? Social conservatives are not necessarily religious.

But I agree - it's a disgrace. I hope this country starts prosecuting the PARENTS that are allowing their children to die from hunger-related causes.
