Quote: | but these Christians show such bitterness and resentment against illegal immigrants. Not all of them are criminals or gang members, they are mostly hard working people trying to feed their families. | I dont blame anyone for wanting to feed there family's. However since they are here illegaly they dont pay taxes like the rest of us, putting a strain on our finances, while recieving free medical care at the same time. That isnt fair to the American people. And you are right, they are not all criminals, but a good % of them are, and are filling up our Jails, and murdering and stealing from our people. Why should that be tolerated?? Especialy when we suposedly have laws in place to protect us from such things. Quote: | Aren't we all God's children? | We arent asking them for any more than what is expected of us. Quote: | And how can Christians oppose universal health care? I hear such nonsense about why it's a bad idea, but surely Christians want all their fellow citizens to have access to health care? | Of course we want everyone to have health care, but not at the expence of the middle class, which is what it amounts to. Universal health care sounds great, till someone has to flip the bill for it. I can hardly afford health care for my family, why should I be expected to pay for others as well?? Quote: | Same with the death penalty. Shouldn't Christians believe that only God gives life and only God should take it away? | God gave man the right to govern and make our own laws. I have no problem taking the life of someone who would take the lifes of others. It is justice |
