Reasoning hasn't worked. We are dumb to reason with them because their goal isn't to have a constructive debate, it is to destroy the conversation so that there is no progress.

What we really should do is yell at them, "If you hate it so much, why don't you move to France!?!?!?"

Maybe that will confuse them.

Wait... does France have universal health care?

But yeah, it does boggle my mind sometimes how vehemently against universal health care otherwise reasonable Christian folks are. They're doing the "don't take my money!" chant, while forgetting that their God told them to give all of it away, to the poor.. and other stuff. Anyway.

I have almost precisely this thought every time I hear someone tell me that poor people are "lazy" and that they shouldn't have to "give them handouts" and that it "isn't fair" to have to spend their "hard earned" money on people who aren't bothering to do it for themselves.

I'm sure Jesus was severely pissed off about all of those lazy, free-loading poor people he had to help.
