Oh... how "Christian" of them. :sarcasm::puke::nuke:

Religious Right: Health Care Reform is Against God’s Plan

Christian groups are being urged to swamp town hall meetings. Some are being asked to attend and read the riot act to supporters of health care reform. It is, after all, against God’s plan for health reform, some religious right leaders now say.

God and politics are the hot combination in the health care debate. As Obama was painted by some religious right members as the anti-Christ or worse, now his reform measures are being attacked as against the law of God. Health care reform is one area of attack, with town hall meetings going on all over the country. But what do they say about why God doesn’t want people to have health reform?

This is the message from Jean Markell of Maple Grove–based Olive Tree Ministries who has asked her radio listeners to attend congressional town hall meetings and directed to “to there and give them an earful. The ideal thing to do is to to go to their town hall and read them the riot act—in Christian love—but read them the riot act on this issue of health care.” Still Rep. Michele Bachmann should be spared from criticism, as Markell continued: about the Congress woman from Minnesota: “ is one of my favorite people. She is doing just an outstanding job in Congress standing up for what is right. She’s got a target on her back. You need to pray for her and her family.”

The Minnesota Family Council says that Obama’s plan for health care reform is against God’s design and, according to its president, God has created government to do certain things. When we reject His design for government, in a sense, we’re rejecting Him.” Pritchard goes on to explain that Obama expects people to trust government, not God and socialist models are against the laws of God and involve rationing and waiting periods for care.

The Christian Coalition of America has a similar message, warning Christians about Barack Obama’s health care program as alien to God and Christian teachings. They maintain “that reform of health care would “provide care to illegal aliens, while rationing care to elderly and disabled American citizens.” This pits seniors against immigrants in the health care reform debate. They also declare on their webpage, “Stop the takeover. Visit our action center.”

4. A hijacked God + 20,000,000 people with sub-100 IQ's = The Death of a Nation.

It's a simple calculation, really.

5. More wingnut logic at work

I guess this isn't in the Bibles in the wingnuts read:

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me (Matthew 25:40).

[Xipe Totec]

6. If God had done his job, we wouldn't need health care n/t

[orwell]

7. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

...unless they are liberals.

Matthew 9:35
"Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people"...except the socialists

Luke 9:11
"But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing."...except the illegal immigrants

Psalm 34:13
"Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."...unless you are a health care lobbyist.

Ephesians 4:29;31
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers... Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice."...unless you are a teabagger.

8. It's time to start reviewing submitted resumes & proposals before entry to TH meetings, fuck'em!!

It can be said as well that after having caused 'the flood', and allowing His Only Son to be nailed to a cross by the very people that would annex the mystery and carry it back to Rome to be tinkered into the 6 ways to Sun-Day; that God is the ultimate source & purveyor of euthanasia and life ending process'

9. Where in the Bible does God take a position on government healthcare?

Was God partial to health insurance companies and corporate lobbyists? Love to get up-to-speed on these biblical passages.

Why do these so-called 'churches' have tax-exempt status if they are taking political positions in our secular politics?

10. Maybe they're just afraid that too many prayers for healing are going unanswered.

11. I guess lying is no longer a sin
