The caption on a recent CNN report read, “Christians Lie About Healthcare.” Of course this was about the current universal healthcare debate which, by the way, has gotten out of hand. There was a politician on to dispel some of the claims made by conservative Christians that the reform on healthcare will change our rights as Americans forever, such as doctors being forced to conduct abortions. Totally not true. Once again lies are being spread through our bloodstream and scaring people into believing the reform as harmful to our way of being. And these lies keep coming from Christians! Why am I not seeing lies spread by the supposed “non-Christians?” Someone said to me the other day that liberals lie too. Really? What are they? He couldn’t give me examples. And if and when liberals lie they are nowhere near the echelon of lies from the right. They can’t even come close to being compared.
It was Christian right that spread lies during the Bush campaign that scared people into voting for him. It was Christians that spread lies during the proposition 8 campaigns in California that caused people to vote for it. And now they have spread lies to convince people that healthcare reform is equivalent to Nazism (what’s up with the comparison? People are ridiculous).
Why aren’t they ashamed of themselves? C’mom, I know that Christians are only human and make the same mistakes as mere mortals but they are held to a higher standard, not because they have faith but because of the standards they place for others in our society. It’s embarrassing for them.
