You had better read a few more chapters in the Good Book. For example as when Jesus says when you the hungry, the unclothed, etc. you see Me. The ones that address those needs are the ones that will be saved, the people just like the ones you admire will be cast in the flames. Good luck. By the way, you might not have noticed that all those Christian institutions you are so proud of rely heavily on government support for their very existence. The only thing I see Republicans lusting for is the almighty dollar.
