Ted Cruz is un-Christian!

Senator Ted Cruz, member of the GOP, who think they are the party of God...he (and the majority of Republicans) could not be more un-Christ like if they tried!! Forget bible passages. Go to the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ, whom Christianity is based on. Jesus said,

CARE FOR THE SICK AND THE POOR

Care for the sick...in other words health care! But self righteous Republicans say we should "stop the affordable care act". (Just how much stock does Ted own in big insurance and big pharma?) Stop 30 million people from receiving health care? Such action is more like Satan. It's not as if you didn't have HALF A CENTURY to develop and implement a health care system!! But this would have upset the insurance and pharma scam. Not to mention anger your wealthy donors who are major stockholders in these companies.

Why do evangelicals support this party??? Because they enjoy going against the fundamental teachings of Christ?? Perhaps all their time in church is just a charade? I dunno. But NOT wanting to see the sick and ill (or potentially sick and ill) have health care could not be more anti-Christ like. The same can be said of the GOP's actions against the poor.

Ted...you need to just shut up already. As usual, you're wrong!

Wasn't there some business, too, about knowing them by their fruits...?


(Ok, was just kidding with the rhetorical question. It's Matt. 7:20.)

What teachings are more important than the other? This has always confused me. If you take that stance I would say more than a few individuals and heirarchies of churches are not Christian.

That Jesus fella distinctly ordered his followers not to pray in public, but in private in their homes, alone with their god. He quite plainly stated that those who worship with great fanfare in public are hypocrites and have no hope of salvation. The same principle was applied to charitable giving. Caring for the sick was to be universal to people of all faiths: no religious tests were involved.
Every time I have brought this up with so-called ministers (Who ARE supposed to know these teachings better than us godless liberals), I am greeted with a suspicious stare and a put-down.
Makes me wonder.

Cruz in his ilk are Mammonists, and pray to another God. Blessed be the Wealth Creator, the Inheritor of Justly Earned Money, and the Holy Market! Amen.
