You make good points Haplo. Do you know how many liberals I've talked to with this line of reasoning? It is a very weak argument as Christianity is a matter of the individuals soul, not state politics or systems of government. It is not moral to vote away people's property, to the detriment of individual freedom. A liberal often sees the words "free healthcare", and licks his chops over the prospect of turning away yet another personal responsibility to the care of somebody else. Paid for by others through force of government. Liberals don't understand how truly unChristian this is. People should help others. Yet, they should not empower a government to redistribute by force an unwilling people's property.
