Only legislation has put in place the moral pillars necessary to make a moral society.

The religions have been a complete failure since the invention of "faith".

Witness that the "good christians" in Southern States stopped lynching blacks as laws were enacted to exact a price IN THIS LIFE for immoral behaviour.

Note that even the "good christian" mormons toed the line when the Great Society legislation was enacted. Now black males can "hold the priesthood". (well as long as they pay their money).

Nooses?

They have never been out of style among the hypocritical, southern and midwestern, "good christian", rednecks; but, Blacks are now protected from these "good christians".

The point.
Legistation is responsible for raising the bar of morality, i.e. conservatives are forced to be moral via threat of prosecution.

Health Care?
"good christians" have done nothing to provide for children's healthcare except as it has provided a tax deduction for the wealthy.

The "inconvienent truth"?

The churches use donations to further their existence, not for charity as Jesus encouraged.

Sadly, an immoral society tends to vote for immoral candidates, e.g. George Bush and the majority of republicans.

Nevertheless, little by little, we achieve a more moral society via legislation (FDR, JFK, LBJ) - not faith (we also lose morality via legislation Hitler, Lenin, Reagan, Bushes 1 & 2).

I am very pleased to see that the Reverend C. Welton Gaddy apparently practices a Christ based form of Christianity

What nation are you talking about when you say, "nine million children in the wealthiest nation in the world do not have health insurance"?

The question is really, what is wealth? Isn't an absence of the ability to afford something as fundamental as health care a sure sign of poverty?

Maybe that should be "the nation with the greatest number of wealthy individuals" instead of "wealthiest nation" unless you're counting nuclear weapons of course as wealth. Nuclear weapons do belong to us all? A person in the USA with a treatable terminal illness that can't afford the treatment is no better off here than one in a third world country.

Is a lack insurance the problem? Is the problem a lack of insurance or insurance companies run by individuals with an eye on joining the wealthiest people on earth? I keep hearing "not for profit" health insurance. What does that mean?

I remember reading a glowing article in a conservative newspaper about the CEO of a health insurance company who's salary was 265 million dollars including stock options. How many doctors and nurses can one hire for 265 million dollars?

Shouldn't hospitals be run by the army medical corps? The army corps of engineers does a fairly good job on inland waterways etc. Shouldn't all hospitalization be at public expense - for everyone rich and poor alike. We're all going there sooner or later. I'd be real happy to pay my share and never go if only I could avoid going. My favorite expression is, "stay out of hospitals for people die there." Maybe I need life insurance?

Why do hospitals need malpractice insurance? Can buildings commit malpractice?

Shouldn't medical malpractice be handled like war wounds, military disabilities with pensions for those who are disabled and a swift kick for those who are not really permanently damaged lovingly known as gold brickers?

The "for profit" motive is a Devil that is difficult but hopefully not impossible to corral. It's like cave men killing a giant beast with nothing more than sticks sharpened on one end in the fire.

The post by Rev. Gaddy shows the theist slight of hand (i.e. the changing of the subject of this blog, religion, to the subject of politics).

Rev. Gaddy's God is said to be the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving deity that created the universe and humans in particular --- Rev. Gaddy should concentrate his energies on the contradictions inherent in his religion with the fact of of this world.

Just a few weeks ago I noticed in the obituaries the write up for a child that, even with the very best health care in the world, died after only a couple of weeks of life --- Rev. Gaddy, why did your God allow this child to die? Is your God not all-powerful? Is your God not all knowing? Is your God not all-loving? When you provide a rational answer for this question, when you provide good reason for your belief in and worship of such a deity, then maybe your opinions on political and economic matters would carry more weight --- till then, stick to your subject.

"I think that we as american people give enough money to the government. They should be able to provide the youth with the proper health care they deserve. The government insists on wasting the the peoples hard earned money on needless expenses, and donations to other countrys, but forget about thier own people. Children deserve the best, since they will be the future of this nation. Health insurance is imprtant for every person, but most importantly the children. If better insurance plans for the citizens of the United States aare not thought of soon, things can only get worse."

AS a developed nation, Americans actually give a lower proportion of their income to the government in terms of taxes. And as a country, we give a smaller percentage of our GDP as foreign aide than many other countries. Yet, our children have lower test scores in almost every area when compared to other developed nations. So how's that going for us?

Also, I find it hard to believe that families with two BMWs are being terribly over-taxed. Especially when there are families in this nation who can't even afford to keep one car working, and people in other countries who can't afford to feed themselves.

I really have nothing else to say except: Hear Hear!
