Liberalism as a religion - continued

Hi

This blog is being written to illustrate what I mean by liberalism is a religion. The Cardinal of the diocese of Los Angeles has said that he considers not giving illegal immigrants public paid health care is immoral. I agree with him on one point, I too would like to see all insured. Here is where we part company. I do not believe it is immoral not to give publicly funded health care to illegals. The reason for this difference is that we look at the issue from different views. The Cardinal looks at the problem and sees a moral issue,I see a political one. My belief is that Christianity does not say that the government has the right to steal my money (taxes) and give it to some one else. I don't profess to know as much about religion as the Cardinal. but I never remembered reading Christ teaching anything about levying taxes in order to be charitable. Maybe I missed that class but I doubt it.

Now to tie the issue of liberal thinking and religious thinking together we go back to my earlier statement. The Cardinal thinks in terms of everything should be equal, clearly a liberal idea, whereas I feel that the only thing people should have granted to them is THE OPPORTUNITY to succeed. If I am wrong I wish that some one would explain to me why. If you don't agree with me give me an e-mail and tell me why. I certainly would appreciate it.

Meanwhile continue to pray for our soldiers and sailors.
GOD Bless
