"It boils down to I am my brother's keeper, or I am not my brother's keeper." I'm noticing this bit from liberals is coming up a lot lately. There is so much about it that conservatives should just hit out of the park. Every study done on giving time, money or blood shows that conservatives give more total, more per capita, and more as a percentage of their income. Liberals cannot respond to this. They try to say that churches don't count, but the trend holds when only secular organizations are included. They cannot respond to this. Also, isn't that language she's using awfully Bible-y? I thought we were supposed to keep religion out of politics.

Liberals love getting all bibley when criticizing conservatives on social issues.

It passes for clever in their world and they tell themselves they've just made a really cutting remark.

They employ the tactic in lieu of knowledge or insight.

Even the Devil can quote Scripture.

LOL! I think Cain was the one who asked God if he was his brother's keeper. The part liberals gloss over is that God never answered him.

Besides, the question shouldn't be are we our brother's keepers, but should we be forced to be.

When God was asked that question, it just made him angry. He didn't even bother answering it.

No, we are not our brothers keepers. Our brothers should be taught to keep themselves.

"Give a man a (welfare) fish and ....."
"If you don't work, you shouldn't eat."

The liberals sure are good at misquoting the parts of the Bible they think they can use, but they conveniently leave out the most important stuff - the stuff that condemns them to an afterlife of eternal hell in a burning lake of fire. They don't want to discuss that part. They don't want anyone discussing that part. It makes them look....not so pleasant.

I could be wrong, but I thought the only reference in the Bible to ‘my brother’s keeper’ was when cain was denying knowing what happened to Abel.

A lot of that discussion has been brought up in the context of “Randian” vs. “Christian” thinking, as in this article:

http://americanvaluesnetwork.org/aynrandvsjesus/

“GOP leaders want to argue that they are defending Christian principles. But, at the same time, Rep. Paul Ryan (author of the GOP budget) is posting facebook videos praising Rand’s morality and saying hers is the “kind of thinking that is sorely needed right now.” Simply put, Paul Ryan can’t have it both ways, and neither can Christians.”

The Bible does NOT say we are to be our brother’s keeper.
In fact, the words were uttered in sarcasm by Cain when God asked him where Abel was.
But the left has been twisting Biblical truth to fool the ignorant for a century.
It behooves every Christian to read the Bible so they are armed for battle with the lies of the left.
