My only point is that Democrats are confused about why Christ came. He did not come to bring socialism to the world. He was not a socialist. Christ had one purpose: To die on the Cross, the perfect sacrifice for sin. He did not come to be the supreme King of socialism.

And Christ was pro-life. Rhetorical, yes - but he would have denounced abortion. He would also have denounced the gender confusion that has become such a fascination in our society, that so many are obsessed with. Abortion, homosexuality, and gender confusion are sins.

I do believe that Liberty, and Freedom for all, is more Christlike than socialism. "All men are created equal" is a Christian view. Our unalienable (natural) rights were first articulated by John Calvin.

Finally, there is no country in the world that has been improved by socialism. None. Can you name one?
I have read a bunch of stuff on POC, but never has anybody has the balls to speak for Jesus, the Christ.

I have a friend who at a young age decided that he wanted to be able to read the scripture hisownself rather than what somebody else thought it said. Took him 8 years of higher education. Where did you get your degree?

Calvin must have read the Greeks and Romans and the early Catholic church.

The growth rate decreased by 2/3rds. The lowest growth rate since the AIDS epidemic.

Obamacare is killing people.

I'll be honest, too.

I don't care if it's redistribution of wealth, and I don't care if paying for it means that the richest of the rich don't get to keep every last penny of their money. Lives matter more.
In the 6 years prior to Obamacare life expectancy went up by 1.35 years. In the six years after by a mere 0.45 years. The worst growth rate in life expectancy since the AIDS epidemic.
