No other organizations on earth do more for the poor and needy than the numerous Christian faiths and organizations. It sure as hell certainly not any socialist or communist governments.
Could I ask you a question? When was the last time you gave to the poor and hungry?

And how is it low using Jesus's own words? Does it scare you that he said that it's hard for the rich to get into heaven? Does that make your conservative mind race with fear? In my searching for those quotes, I never heard Jesus say 'Keep your money to yourself,' or 'privatize and deregulate everything,' or 'survival of the fittest.'

What I heard him say was give everything you have to the poor. To ME, that sounds like socialist philosophy.

You conservatives have to get over this fear you have of socialism. Socialism is much different than the Marxist-Communist philosophy of Soviet Russia. Socialism puts everyone on an even footing. The Communists took this philosophy, and took away the freedom of religion, and yes, millions died in Russia for their beliefs. But that is NOT socialist philosophy.

I changed my mind. You're not misguided. You're an ostrich that buries his head in the sand when he's scared of an intelligent argument.

Any five year old can call names. It takes a grown up to debate.
