The Christian Right and "Personal Responsibility"

Edited on Thu May-12-05 09:47 AM by OnionPatch
Yet another hypocrisy of the Christian Right is the whole "personal responsibility" thing.....They are always the ones pushing the idea that people need to stop relying on the government for everything and take "personal responsibility" for their own life's needs. The govt. should not be helping people with their medical care, food needs, education, etc. etc. etc. They have no right to use our tax dollars on that stuff, right?

Yet, they INSIST on the government propping up their religion! :wtf: Conservative Christians, take responsibility for your own religion (like the rest of the country does) and stop expecting our tax money and the government to promote it for you everywhere we turn! Does the word "God" have to be in the pledge to the flag, on the money, in our courtrooms for you to sustain your religion? I wonder how the American Buddists or Hindus, etc. are able to sustain their religion without all the government promotion? Is your faith so flimsy that you'll forget about God and your religion if you don't see the word "God" twenty or so times a day?

Stop whining that "secularists" are trying to take God away from us....no one can take your faith away from you. Walk the walk.....stop forcing your Christian symbols on all of the rest of us and take responsibility for your own religion and its promotion.
