Christ was poor, So he was not as trust worthy or as intelligent as the rich man?

Ghandi was poor, so he was not as humane nor as great as the Kenneth Lays?

Albert Schweitzer was not wealthy, so he was less eductaed and his work less important than that of a hack plastic surgeon?

Bill W. and Sister Ignatia were dirt poor, so the idea and creation of their 12 step program saving millions of lives is not what life is about?

Helping others for the sake of bettering society and thus self is not worthy of your time?

These beliefs come from the Right? The same right that caters to the Religious conservatives who are supposed devout Christians?

I submit examples like these show exactly how the GOP has tricked the religious conservatives into getting their votes.

The right says we'll give you (because there is truly no money to be lost in these areas by the corporations):

- Pro life
- pro Bible and Jesus (but we'll ignore the whole humanitarian, helping each other, love each othe aspect and preach hatred and intolerence for those who disagree)

You give us votes and ignore the greed.

If there were big bucks in abortion, I have a feeling the Right would find a way to allow it and support it. Just a hunch.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
