It's weird how the Olympics "mock" Christianity but not calling the US a "Christian Nation" and having this...

Jesus healed people for free, so this should be unacceptable in a "Christian Nation" IMHO.


(For the visually impaired: A chart of life expectancy vs healthcare spending by several countries - The US is notably lower, showing that despite spending more on healthcare, the life expectancy is lower)

You'd think the "Christian Nation" that has Jesus who healed people for free AND supposedly has the best healthcare system in the world would be OVER and to the LEFT of those other countries, right?

And no excuses. This is unacceptable regardless of what kind of country we are.

4. A national healthcare system would incentivize the government to promote healthy food, water, air to

cut down on disease treatment expenditures.

Subsidize organic food in every nook and cranny of the United States especially in school cafeterias. Teach kids how to cook healthy. Open fast food restaurants who serve only healthy alternatives.

Promote clean water and air by regulating industrial pollution. Minimize toxic substances.

Huge push for clean alternative energy.

Stop allowing the billionaires who oppose these changes to continue in their destruction of the Earth.

5. We definitely need to rein in billionaires, that's for sure

6. How does one expect a Christian to understand that these were Greek gods being portrayed

and not their god when they don’t see that the myths written about THEIR god are simply the repackaging of god myths that existed for centuries before they were used as the basis for the figure of Jesus? Kinda obvious.

7. Christian fascists

are navel-gazing and self-centered to the nth degree.

10. Absolutely

[Sibelius Fan]

11. There's an overt conceit that attaches to all religious belief.

It’s just more overt when it comes to Xianity.

8. $$$ before all else,

Brad Pitt played a gangster in one of his movies (huge BP fan here) and his character stated: ‘….America’s not a country, America is a business….’

9. If certain Xtians are pro life...

Why does that only inform their stance on human embryos, but ok to not care to work toward battling climate damage, gun control, health issues, etc. If they vote repugs, I fear there is zero hope left for all forms of life as we know it on this planet.
