You Can't Be Christian And Against Health Reform.



No, your not.

Open and closed case to me.

I'm not a religious man, cant remember the last time I actually sat down and read the bible.

Same thing for the last time I went to church, but I did go on a regular basis at one time and I did read the bible when I was into the church.

And I recall an overall theme in the bible of loving thy neighbor, taking care of the poor, needy and sick.

At least in the New Testament if I recall correctly, that old Testament God came off like a bully).

That is the some of the blue print that Christians are supposed to follow when interacting with each other.

But like most beliefs, regardless if it's religious or politics, it all sounds good on paper but the execution is always suspect.

Communism?

Great idea until the Soviets got a hold of it.

Socialism?

Remember the Nazi?

Democracy?

Shopping list of offensives which this country is not exempt from.

Christianity?

The bible or the sword mentality backed by who is paying the most in tithe.

Islam?

Better that we don't speak on it.

No, all theories are brilliant on paper but man has always acted like Mr. Magoo when it came to following God's work or man's own bright ideas.



Health care reform is apparently no exception, the Public Option is a way to get coverage to those who cant afford insurance, don't qualify for insurance because of pre-existing conditions or are denied care.

Explain to me how that is unchristian like?

Hell, to me denying the public option is a sure fire way to go to hell if you ask me.

And the ones who are the most set against this care are the ones who loooove to evoke God's name every 5 minutes.

Hypocrites at their finest.

Now don't get me wrong I understand that there are some concerns that would give a Real Christian doubts, such as the abortion question which would be funded by the plan.

An idea that I personally don't think should have been added on to there so as to make the passage of the bill that much smoother.

I don't believe in abortion in many cases but the way I see it is a woman's choice and I let God to be the one to set the record straight on the issue when the finale day comes.

I just want to be warned in advance so I don't get caught standing next to them in line when the lighting hits.

But that's the only rational explanation I will accept from anyone who calls themselves a Christian on the matter.

And even than I do not believe in denying health care to so many because your worried about some irresponsible people taking the easy way out.

That's an issue that can be dealt with by reaching out to the communities and speaking to people about abstinence and protection.

So please remove religion out of this debate, leave race out of it, remove Democracy vs Socialism from it, (cause this country is actually a really big corporation not a a Democracy), instead focus on is it going to work, how much is it going to cost and what are the alternatives.

That's it.

A Question For The Moral Compass.


Here is some background, I have noticed a change in a friend who I was really digging, but she was just not into me.

Before it was all about marriage having another kid to add to the ones she has, and being loved.

Now it's about hustling dudes, partying, and what not.

Just real grimy type of stuff that she does that either has started up recently or I may have never noticed before.

Well this "church" going girl who a few years ago was so against abortion now decides to get one since she got knocked up by some dude.

The dude refuses to give up the money for it and says to her "that's your problem".

This "church" going girl than gets her cousins to beat dude down and wreck his car.

This friend than comes to me crying about the situation she is in but doesn't ask me for the money but instead asks for money to get her car title out of pawn which she will re pawn for the $500 it apparently costs to get an abortion.

I go ahead and give it to her.

I am no saint but my moral code is drawn at the line of abortion in any case except rape, incest, or the chance the mother loses her life.

But since she is asking for money for the car and not the abortion I think it's OK.

But now the back of my mind is moving up to the front and mixing me up, I am feeling I violated my own moral code here.

If a crack head ask you for money to get something to eat and you know he is just going to buy crack with it but you give it to him anyway you are an enabler.

So now I am thinking I just enabled this woman to do what she is going to do anyway and I am feeling twisted about it, I feel like I sinned.

I cant ask for the money back at this point.

And to top it off I am really some what disgusted by her a little bit for the way she has been turning out, I KNOW I cant look at her as the same person I met and that irks me to no ends.

People evolve and some degenerate but rarely do they stay the same as they were when they were younger.

But when your not ready for their growth you can get sucked into the hurricane that is their life and you make a move or two based on that which will begin to fuck with you.

She is going to sleep sound tonight, and I am going to be tossing and turning.

I need a vacation from my mind right now.

Good News Tuesdays: The Black Church

Sickle cell awareness in churches increases black blood donors
Thursday, December 18, 2008 5:46 p.m. CST
BY CHERYL WITTENAUER/The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Sickle cell researchers in St. Louis say they've significantly increased blood donations to fight the disease with appeals targeted at predominantly black church congregations in the city.

Blacks have tended not to donate blood, they said, but the St. Louis program appears to have changed some minds.

Michael DeBaun, a sickle-cell disease specialist at St. Louis Children's Hospital, launched Sickle Cell Sabbath and blood donation drives five years ago at 13 predominantly black churches in St. Louis.

On Sundays from February to June, the congregations learned about the disease and treatment benefits of blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. Church-sponsored blood drives were encouraged.

Of the nearly 700 donors who participated in blood drives, 422, or 60 percent, were first-time donors.

Results of the study are published in the advance online publication of the journal Transfusion.




Now I chose this one for Good News Tuesday because I always thought the church in particular black churches got an unfair shake when it came to community woes.

It seem like we blame the church for not doing enough to address certain issues within the community, when the church through it's teachings does just that, we just choose not to listen.

I mean think about.

Church says do not have premarital sex or commit adultery, we choose to ignore that.

Thus we choose to have out of wed lock children, broken hearts, HIV, crime (mostly committed by single men and women), delinquent kids, and so on.

Than we blame the church when Junebug the bastard child of Betty, (who slept with a married Pat), gets 13 year old Shelia pregnant, (who caught Herpes from 21 year old Tyrone who caught it from Betty), decides he is going to shoot Brother Pat for not paying for the cocaine he fronted him, which Pat used to get high with and screw Bernice, Shelia's mother, who is the cousin of Denise, Pat's wife who is now sleeping with Tyrone.

Get it?


Now I don't want to get on a soap box on Good News Tuesday, but I figure I should explain why I chose this.

This is the type of church activity I would like to see more of.

The type that addresses community concerns that are not covered in the good book.

Spread the news to your church.

Forgive Me Father For I Know What I Do..........

.........And I Don't Care.


Now I think I talked about Born Again Virgins, if not they are basically people who have had sex outside of marriage one or "ho" amount of times and decided that now they understand that they sinned against God so they are going to keep it in the pants till marriage.

Sounds like celibacy to me but hey tomatoes tomAtoes.

Well science has has found a way of helping God out and the many sinners he loves so much.

Introducing the Artificial Virginity Hymen!

"It's now easier than ever to avoid the shame of being exposed as an impure woman, thanks to the Artificial Virginity Hymen! It leaks fake blood and causes your vagina to become inflamed and swollen, all for just $14.90."



That's right ladies, take back your drunken prom night, or that time you sat on Uncle Chester's lap, by getting a brand new hymen!


Go back in time when you were as pure as the untouched snow before every one played in it.

Back when you were daddy's girl and not"daddy's" girl.


Back when you and the Virgin Mary had more in common than just being women.


Now you can start fresh and and tight with the memories of your scandals long behind you, as the "right" man makes an honest women out of you.


That way come honey moon night the proud husband can puff his chest out with vigor and joy after he deflowers you and the bed looks like a crime scene that any homicidal maniac would be glad to rest his head on.


This way he can show the world evidence of your Mother Mary like womb and his friends can pat him in on the back.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!!

Unfortunately nothing has come out for men however I hear that scientist are working closely with the Jonas Brothers....

...to come with a soul saving solution for us men.



Forgive Me Father For I Know What I Do And I Don't Care.

Well I guess I Can Cross Nigeria Off.




At this rate when I am ready to go to Africa I will have to settle for Zanzibar because damn if the main land looks steady.

And while the chaos spread China and the United States creeps ever so closely to setting up shop.

The instability of this continent is disturbing, even South Africa is having trouble with soaring crime, and there getting ready to have the World Cup!

I hope they don't rely on that to change things, most nations and cities that have done things like the Olympics and Cup have found themselves in the financial hole spending more than braining in.

(Word of advice tax the hell out of the tourist industry)

This type of mayhem is the type that will make nations ask for help and that where they are going to get caught up.

There WILL BE A PRICE TO PAY for getting in bed outsiders believe that, but you all should know that by now.
