I know that I am not a person who likes to go to church. I find it to be a waste of my time. I would spend the majority of my time ,in church ,thinking about what I would do once the mass was over. I do feel though that I am a spriritual person who lives his life as a good Christian. I am not a slave for money and would gladly give my last dime to a person that needed it. I am a conservative person by nature. That is how I live my life. I agree with the Progressive agenda though. I guess that you could call me a Teddy Roosevelt Progressive. I believe in a progressive tax, conservation, regulation to control large corporations,and term limits to prevent politicians from becoming too powerful. I do have trouble with todays Christians and their support of the Republican Party. I find it hard to believe that a serious Christian would support platform that would advocate,and support,a plan that would allow the reduction of social programs that help the poor while at the same time allowing the wealthy to receive continued tax cuts. These tax cuts should and would help make the lives of the middle class and poor that much easier to handle.
A church, or a nation, that ignores its poor or places stumbling blocks in their way, whose supreme good is Money, is very far from the spirit of God. These words express my feelings on the situation the country is in today. As a Christian nation do we have to look for Bible Quotes to support the Tea Party position on this subject. Really ? As good Christians do we not know what Christ would want us to do !
The right thing for a spiritual nation would be to help provide good health care to its citizens,good education to all children and a fair tax code that provides relief for the poor and a progressive increase for those that can afford it.
