Pity the "religious" who hate Obamacare. They've got a lot to juggle. They have to find a way to pretend something about God and his regional managers-Moses, Jesus, Allah, Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, and the megaphone guy on the corner. Not only them, but the others claiming to be the intellectual inheritors of a guy who impregnated his half sister and went on to murder his son because voices in his head told him to do it. They have to pretend that all these guys will let them ignore the poor.
It doesn't matter what your flavor of Abrahamic religious kool-aid is, each one has this very pesky notion that you have an obligation to take care of the poor.
Damn, that's inconvenient if you hate the notion of healthcare.
It all starts with the Big Kahuna who says right here in Duderonomy 15:17 (just for Dudes):
"If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any town of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother, but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks."
Wow doesn't that just suck if you're a Jew who thinks Obama is a Socialist for wanting Americans to have healthcare. Maybe God meant everything EXCEPT health care.
We'll skip ahead to Islam (saving the biggest Socialist for last). We all know what the Koran says, don't we? Kill the infidels, get 72 Virginians in heaven.
The only problem is that no one, except a bunch of "sheetheads" have actually READ it. And when it comes to caring for the poor, it pretty much sucks too.
"Believe in Allah and His messenger, and spend (in charity) out of the (substance) whereof He has made you heirs. For, those of you who believe and spend (in charity),- for them is a great Reward." (57:7)
Damn, can't a pseudo-religious conservative brother catch a break here?
But by far, the most demanding on this topic is that rabble rousing socialist trouble maker, The One, The Only, The Son of God, The Messiah.....Barak Obama.
Whoops, I meant Jesus of Nazareth. What a trouble maker.
Mark 10:21-22: "Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, 'You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.' When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions."
What kind of crap is that?
If he came around again, trying to peddle that kind of hogwash, they'd crucify him. Oh wait, they already DID that. Well, they would crucify him again, or worse, call him a MODERATE. God help him. No doubt, Christians have the toughest row to hoe here, because they are supposed to do their best to be JUST LIKE CHRIST.
But wait...It gets worse:
"Whoever says 'I know him' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him." 1 John 2:4
He's back, he's pissed.
He's taking names and kicking ass.
So, bad news for our Torah/Bible/Koran thumping Brothers and Sisters who think that they are not absolutely commanded to care for the poor, and view Obamacare as Socialism. It's not so much that they are misguided, misinformed, or have had their brains scrambled by Fox.
They are just bad people.
Wretched lying sinners damned to hellfire, who, regarding Obamacare, must ask themselves:
WWJD
Who WOULD Jesus deny?
