WASHINGTON (March 17, 2010)--Christians who are fighting the proposed health care overhaul because they fear it will result in federal funding for abortion, which is a concern cited by the nation's Catholic Bishops.
Activists who demonstrated outside the U.S. Capitol Tuesday also objected to government’s assumption of too much power over the nation's health care system.
Protester Deborah Steinmetz, the widow of a Vietnam veteran, said, "No king but King Jesus -- our government is too big."
Other Christian groups that favor the proposed overhaul argue that it's immoral for millions of Americans to be without health care.
In a nationwide webcast Tuesday night, Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association urged Christians to pray and contact members of Congress before a vote that's expected later this week.

sorry but I'm still not convinced that good and evil are by design. So is a wolf evil for attacking another wolf trying to defend its kill? No, its instinct. Humans are intelligent beings and therefore do not rely on instincts anymore since becoming a civilized species. Since we do not have insticts to tell us what we need, we can decide for ourselves what we want and need. I shouldnt have to explain this though really as science has already proven through carbon dating that the earth is billions of years older than what the bible says (10,000 years). Religion is a tool to give morality to people who do not have a reason to be moral beings without the risk of consequence.
Christianity is based on the precipice that man is flawed and in need of redemption. The point is that we know it, because it adds up that we have done wrong. The Old & New Testament alike outline this struggle of morality even long before Jesus. The struggle for survival doesn't negate morality (a right way to live; good & evil). I believe that people in 3rd world countries would be happy to tell you that. Evolutionists would love to theorize an absence good and evil found by design in favor of invented morality. But, morality exist within a natural structure that can't be explained through the scientific method. Their are standards that have always been. To believe that good and evil exist by our own design is to say that it really doesn't exist at all, but we know better. There is an implied responsibility that comes along with admitting that good and evil is beyond our own doing & must have been created by someone greater that puts an order to all this. The truth will set you free.
it does add up actually. from a young age we are taught to go against certain instincts. For instance to share. Humans naturally are selfish but they are forced into learning new behaviors like sharing because that is something civilized beings need to learn to do in order for us to get along with each other. Neanderthall and other early humans probably didnt exhibit this type of behavior because survival was much more difficult due to lack of food, shelter etc. So basically morality was more likely a product of the evolution of man into an environment that is abundant with food and survival isnt dependant on kicking your sibling out of the nest. Im sure you will fing that in 3rd world countries morality isnt observed as often most likely due to the struggle for survival in these countries.
