Here we go with those who will conflate “social justice” issues with life issues as being of the same value. This kind of “seamless garment” argument does nothing but confuse the faithful and creates confusion; and Satan loves the faithful to be lost in confusion.
Servus Fidelis ~ The Faithful Servant
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam ~ For the Greater Glory of God
Servus Fidelis ~ The Faithful Servant 
Hmm…
1. A man goes hungry for a day.
2. A baby is murdered.
I don’t understand the confusion in knowing which one is worse.

I don’t either and in case number one, there are places they can go to get food, help and shelter. Even then, I would like to put the responsibility on the neighbors of those who are having problems: not the government. It isn’t their job anyhow – it’s ours.

True….and in that, the good bishop is probably a product of the culture as are many other people. So many are so accustomed to the government being a charity worker that they see anything less as being uncaring towards the poor. I believe it’s in the book of James where it’s written to “look after widows and orphans”. James says that WE are to look after the widows and orphans.
On a side note, I personally take notice that James speaks of widows and orphans, and not more or less healthy 20 something year olds that don’t seem to want to work or who think they are owed money and benefits from the hard work of others for nothing. Maybe I’m reading too much into the verse, though.

Not only that, the quote in my quote box says it all: “For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat. For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.” __ II Thessalonians 3:10-11

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to seeing what my brother did to my mom and dad’s house after their death. I know he had contractors working on remodeling it for about a year. It is right on the beach looking out over the Atlantic and it should be beautiful from what I hear. 🙂

I’ll see if I can do early voting in FL and then stop in GA and do the same before arriving in SC to cast my real vote. That way, I can cancel out a couple of dead people who are voting for Obama. Good plan, huh? What do the dead see in Obama anyway? Is Obama promising to raise them from the dead or something? 🙂
