The Faith Forum - wondering about poverty

Monday June 4, 2007

Midway through - Jim Wallis has tried to interject discussions of poverty into the forum and, to some degree, has succeeded. But this is less a forum about faith and poverty and more a forum about faith and divisive social issues. It would be far more interesting if Jim and his panel of experts were moderating the whole thing.

Earth to Joe Biden: if the USA "is the only nation I know of that makes reference to God in its founding documents..." you sure don't know very much - which, sad to say, those of us outside the Red, White and Blue no longer find surprising about many U.S. politicians. You then cited "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" - like that's a really clear example of a reference to God!
Your next door neighbor, Canada, actually articulates the G-O-D word in its Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Edwards said he wanted to *eradicate* poverty... wow, thats an admirable plan. He talks more about it on his website. http://www.johnedwards.com/moralleadership/

Jim Wallis? What could he possibly know about Christianity? He hardly has any grasp of the concept outside of his Marxism peddling in the name of helping the poor. You can smell his socialist doctrine a mile away. He's just a simple Democrat lobbyist.
