It must be difficult for your poor christian brain to understand, but I was actually in agreement with you. Calling jesus a socialist is offensive to socialists! Socialism is an intellectual analysis of social-economical issues. Christianity is a fairytale that is built around what a jewish carpenter is supposed to have said 2000 years ago! They have nothing to do with one another.

You identify yourself as a socialist. You read and understand like one. I never equated Jesus to the socialist, I contrasted them because the the socialist is a robbing hood while Jesus says, give willingly.

As an Atheist and a Socialist, I must say I feel a little bit offended by the idea that this jesus is in the mind of some a Socialist!

I SAID.. Check, I never said that taxes were voluntary. I said God’s plan was voluntarily giving. Taxes are extortion, pay to keep the government away.

“The one is voluntary giving, the laying down ones life (in the form of labor and money). The other is being taxed – that is the money is forcefully taken. I am sure that some will argue this is not forcefully taken but look at what happens if the tax is not paid. It will eventually come to it being taken by force. The tax man will come, then the police (in some form) will come. Either the money or liberty will be forfeited. It is taken forcibly. It is just done nicer than the mob protection rackets”

Also, we now have 5 generations of people living on welfare! You think that is just a few people??? These people who get on these Federal programs should be made to take drug tests! The ones showing positive to anything illegal need to be booted off the system-get a life, get a dam job, stop having child after child to increase the food stamps and welfare check. I’ve had it with people who are too damn lazy to go to work. I am legitimitly on disability and what my Uncle Sam gives me to live on is pathetic. I would love to be able to have the authority to force all those jack asses in Washington, D.C. to live ONLY on what I get and see how many of them will be jumping off high buildings! Maybe this is a bit off the subject, but I don’t think so. Pissed off, hell ya!

Taxes are voluntary, my butt! The IRS should be abolished. We will be entering some mean times and I think you all should stop trying to best each other-no one will win. It’s the same old, same old… of each one’s interpretations of what the Bible says. I too, don’t know how accurate it really is, nor do I think it is the real words of God-however, it’s a good guide to go by.

You neglect a few facts. Many of those you call poor are not poor, they are lazy. That is why I believe in helping people through giving not taxation. The government has never done anything well. Even Obama believes that, look at his discussion of the post office. But he believes the government can do healthcare.

You want to protect unborn life by government mandate; Why not the poor? I don’t think inconsistency makes a good case for anything.
If someone is actually starving, you must first feed him. Then teach him. Dead people can’t learn how to fish.

Actually, liberals want to do both — make sure that everyone is fed AND educated.

Public libraries are socialized information.

Buy all your books, newspapers, and magazines.

“Free AOL” for everyone is a socialist concept. How dare people be allowed to express their ideas without first paying $14.95 per month? If it’s free, then any idiot can come on here and… oh … nevermind.

Public schools are socialist.
The Military, socialism.

The Interstate Highway System — Socialist! If you take that on-ramp, yer a Commie!

Municipal water systems are socialist.

One other question. Would you call me a good christian if I supported and helped a man who murdered an abortion doctor get away? If you don't then you cannot call anyone who would support a muslim terrorist good.

There is a saying, for evil to triumph it only requires that good men do nothing.

Are they good men if they allow evil to triumph? But then this is why i have and will oppose the thief in washington who stole the presidency.

First, drop the oppressed and marginalized crap and that is what it is, crap. It is excusing bad behavior. It is animal, not human. Humans have conscience, animals do not including animals who are in human form that act like that. You can justify Jessie James, John Dillinger and the likes if you take that approach. You can also justify Ray Nagin and the other Jackson from Louisiana. I don’t buy it. And for the most part the Koran doesn’t teach it but the radical muslims read it that way. Unfortunately unlike Christianity that is not a .01% minority but a 25% minority. Worse, nearly all of the other 99+% of christians will decry and many will speak out against the excesses. I do – I know many others who do. I believe abortion is murder but killing a doctor who performs them is too. I do think the government has it wrong in limiting protests – that has helped bring on the violence because those of us who oppose abortion have been oppressed and marginalized by it and feel we must strike out with violence to stop it. DID YOU SEE HOW STUPID THAT LAST STATEMENT SOUNDED!?

I agree that the civil government must be secular. We have pretty much had that in the US since the constitution. This is being infringed upon because Muslims are being given rights in Schools and businesses that christians do not have. We have a man who works in our building that prays several times a day – he is muslim. I wonder if I would have that right if I decided to do it. Please understand – I would defend his right to do so if it were questioned – the illegitimacy of islam is not the issue, the freedom of religious practice is the question.

But in Islamic theoracies there is no freedom of anything.
