Socialism is the curse of greed and excess. When the masses of a free and democratic people suffer socialism results. If our society took care of the estimated 50 million uninsured people in our country Obama's socialist agenda would have no traction. We have no one to blame for this turn of events but ourselves as a society. This is why it is IMPERATIVE that churches advocate and fund private and local means of charity, care, and social compassion. Does your church have a guide from the United Way to direct people to needed assistance? Does your church contribute healthily to a local foodbank, clothing closet, or religious hospital? Does your church STRONGLY advocate that members contribute to said charitable initiatives?
Sadly most churches only advocate that members give to the church... then the church builds bigger buildings and buys the pastor a lexus.
For example, when was the last time a church took up a collection to cover an unsinred member's medical bills? While this does happen, it's very rare.
