Talking to an old family friend recently, a Manxwoman who married an American and has lived ever since in the Mid West, she informed me that she was a Tea Party supporter. This brought to mind a blog I had been meaning to write. So this is for you, Elaine, as well as anybody else who is interested.
When Jesus Christ preached that we should ‘love thy neighbour’, he was asked ‘who is my neighbour?’ It was this point that he told the story of the Good Samaritan. The man who helped a complete stranger (who would normally be his enemy) who had been attacked at the roadside. Well, you know the rest.
Tea party supporters and other neo cons call state sponsored public health schemes ‘socialism’. But the story of the Good Samaritan tells us that they are actually Christianity expressed in action .
America claims to be a Christian country.
Americans.....think about it.
