Perhaps one of you "born agains" can explain what there is in



Christianity that is against helping those who need it obtain health



care insurance.



Since when was Christianity supposed to deal with insurance?







Uh, I think you missed the point. Bachmann is using her simple-minded

religious beliefs to come out against health care coverage for those who

can't otherwise get it. The question should be, why is it relevant to

use your religious belief to keep health insurance away from others?

Why are Christians in this country so adamant about pushing their

beliefs onto others who believe differently? (Not that I believe

Bachmann has any beliefs, other than the "righteousness" of sounding

really stupid)


You're statement that I was replying to was:

"Perhaps one of you "born agains" can explain what there is in
Christianity that is against helping those who need it obtain health
care insurance. "

Now that you mentioned it though, why do you feel so adamant about
pushing your political beliefs onto others who believe differently?



My question still stands...why are (some prominent) Progressives in this
country using their religious beliefs to try to take the long standing
health insurance
away from others?
