Oh, yeah, and when people DIE because the local hospital closed down (which it did), I'll send the family to you and let you explain that their loved one died for your scriptures.

Everyone dies, that's a fact of life. What's your point? Plenty of people all around the world die every day for lack of better or any medical care. Are you arguing that some people are more entitled to medical help because they are lucky. Merely because they were born in a wealthy country? That's silly on the face of it, plenty of people I know who were born in this country have no value outside what God has established for them purely out of their humanness, something which they share with everyone else. By what cosmic logic do they “deserve” good medical care? Isn't it more a matter of luck?

Clearly then, you believe we should redistribute all of our wealth around the world so that we all have equal amounts? Otherwise, the *lucky* ones have all the money and that's not fair?

No, it is not a matter of luck. How can you possibly think that?

It is unarguable that the reason that poverty around the world exists is because of corrupt government. Look at the many countries that were relatively properous under colonial rule that have descended into poverty since the colonial power left. The good government practices left and poverty and chaos entered.

Our system of government relies upon a common respect for law. We pay taxes, obey traffic laws to the extent that we do mostly because of our common agreement, not for fear of prosecution. Now we have an invasion of people who start out by breaking a law. Taken to its conclusion we will start down the same slope that will make us equal to Mexico, or Zimbabwe or Haiti.

And yes, we value our fellow citizens more than those who were not lucky enouch to be born here. Our fellow citizens have upheld their end of the bargain, respecting our laws, supporting our common government. Our fellow citizens made sacrifices to have that hospital there for them. It employed our fellow citizens.

You obviously are a tremendous globalist. Perhaps you should live in a country that has opened its borders to more emigrants that America has in our history. (Hint there aren't any.) Rather than advocate for flooding the ultimately limited resources of our nation-state (still a viable concept), why don't you go to Mexico and help them organize a viable society?

You are absolutely right. Therefore, make sure that you seek no medical attention of any kind beyond what you would get from your local medicine man in the bush. Otherwise, you would be a hypocrite.
"Luck"? I don't believe that "luck" is a Christian belief. It is all done because of God's plan, isn't it? That isn't luck, is it?
You and Raycpa(sp) are a pair. We should live in fortified cities, and let the illegal aliens take over the rest of the country. We should live by his version of Mosaic law, and we shouldn't seek medical care. What a nightmare of a future you two present. You remind me of the islamofascists. Same mindless adherence to what you think are the Lord's words, resulting in total anarchy, misery, death and destruction.
