Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Jesus wants you to nationalize health care, says Moore:

"I hate when those wingnuts drag religion into a political discussion.
Plus: bonus footage of Barbara giving “Sicko” two thumbs up and getting snotty
with guest host Star Parker!"


Moore looks to the part of the Bible where Jesus talk about how we have treated the lowest, saying that is how we have treated him. Jesus talks about asking why we did not feed him while he was hungry or visit him while he was in jail. Moore is confusing here individual morality and group morality. Creating a system where by the state takes care of peoples medical needs doesn't address a persons individual moral responsibility. It could be argued that it puts it off on the state.

I know that our system needs to be changed, I just don't like shallow logic. Moore is a committed anti-market activist and for that reason alone I question his ideas.
