"And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said,
I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
Sometimes I wonder if "I am NOT my brother's keeper" is the campaign
slogan for Reagan conservatives.
The greatest commandment is to love the Lord with your whole heart
and to love your neighbor as yourself.
The Republicans claim to be seriously working on part one. The
Democrats claim that they are working on part two.
Sometimes it looks like two sides of the same coin. When it is
flipped we get one side or the other.
Problem is, it isn't two different commandments, it is one. We are
not supposed to just follow religion and we are not supposed to just
push social policy. While either may be better than selfish self
interest, I would guess that a Christian should be doing both.
