No. I was raised Christian and went to a C of E school but I never took much notice of it.

I was far more interested in dinosaurs and Buck Rogers.
My mistake then.

Sorry about that!

I agree with you about Obamacare.... And yet, helping the less fortunate is a christian principal, it is showing love and compassion to others who most need it
Helping the less fortunate is a Christian principle. Socialized medicine and government run health care is something else entirely. Programs like medishare can work if they are properly administered by cutting the overhead from bloated insurance companies. It's disingenuous to ascribe political leanings to Christians. There are liberal Christians, conservative Christians and the whole spectrum in between. We may agree that people need health care, but forcing people to buy insurance from providers who give kickbacks to politicians is simply feeding the corruption. The federal government cannot be trusted with health care. A free market system with a state supervised catastrophic care provision for the uninsured or underinsured allows for free market solutions where people can get better care for less money. Jesus instructed us to care for the por. He didn't say we should trust big government crooks to do so.

How is that any different than your bias against certain groups

That doesn't relieve a person of their responsibility concerning their own health and financial well being.

Why do you think they don't take that attitude in the rest of the civilised world where they have health systems that cover every citizen? but we know it's why Americans will be dying needlessly by the tens of thousands every year for the foreseeable future, it's pretty obvious that Americans could not care less about their fellow Americans.
