Biblically we're...

Says the man who never actually read a Bible in his whole life.

And why should he? I mean first of all it's a dumb, boring and incompetently written fictional book, but moreover, imthere is a lot in there that says he and people like him are the bad guys, and who wants to read that?

That's pretty much what a medieval feudal lord would say. I think people like this have exactly this understanding of themselves: they claim a vague, God-given right to rule over their subjects – a crude excuse for their crimes and inhumanity.

Just be aware everyone, keep this in your back pocket. Healthcare is a Human Right. This IS Church teaching of the Catholic (Universal) Christian Faith
