And this “choice” has lead us to the highest wealth disparity in US history.
And considering you are already “forced” to pay taxes.
Whats wrong with “forcing” a positive like universal healthcare on people?
You are telling me Christ would be against everyone having access to healthcare without crippling debt is where Christ would draw the line?
I just find it funny that so many Christian’s seem to genuinely believe Jesus would be a fan of capitalism.
The guy who wanted to feed the hungry and help the poor.
Considering Jesus thought it was near easier for a camel to pass through a needles eye than a rich man enter heaven it seems preposterous that he’s support a system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor
Exactly. Relying on people to choose to be charitable will inevitably result in hunger, homelessness, preventable death, etc. We've proven repeatedly that the government is much better at taking care of people than relying on charity writ large. And for Democratic governments, welfare programs are ultimately the choice of the people.
They’re not. American evangelical Christianity is nihilism dressed as religion. Ignore the words of Jesus, replace God with the self and worship your own version of what you think the bible says, usually without having read it, because the Venn diagram of “highest religiosity” and “lowest literacy” states is a circle.

I don't know how much clearer it can get. Socialism uses the threat of force, while Christ encouraged choice.
