For the record i have nothing against medicare, or social security or even wellfare when used by people in need and people have paid into the system.
I do have a problem with people looking for a free ride or a way to cheat the system.
I am a statistically poor below middle class former working American.
Currently disabled and on medicare and social security for a hopefully very temporary time.
I do rely on taxdollars, as i do live in low income housing.
The democrats have done some good things, but sometimes wellfare can become a crutch if people cannot find a way out.
No you don't get rich off of social security ever try living on 4000 dollars a year?
Still i don't feel entitled to anything at all just by being born an American. But I have no qualms taken assistance since i worked my ass off and paid into the system, unlike illegals and deadbeats.
I apologize and am sorry if i came off an asshole. I just figured you were one of those types who hated christians.
Seems from what you were saying you only hate the extremist or fanatics, who can be as bad as islamic extremists in their missapplication of the virtues of the gospels.
I never claimed to not be a sinner and be without Sin.
I also never claimed the worldly values of being an American were always in step with the Values of Jesus Christ and the christian church.
Indeed helping others is a virtue but i don't think it should be forcefully done, i think people should do it voluntarily.
Helping others can change peoples hearts and minds. But forcing people to do it is wrong in the same way Jesus forces no one to believe but allows free will.
We live in a fallen world full of dangers and evil. Sure if the world had no religions people supposedly would live at peace amongst themselves, the hippies do say.
Me i believe God had a son that came to Earth in the flesh of a human being and died on a cross so that i would not perish but have eternal life.
IF that is believing in foolish fairy stories as some seem to think then too bad for them, at least i want to live for something bigger and greater than myself by believing in a higher power.
