Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Health Care Law

Do you agree with this decision? Vote in our poll!

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 today to uphold President Obama's health care bill, known as the Affordable Care Act. 

The bill will allow young adults to stay on their parents' health insurance until the age of 26 and ban health insurance companies from denying coverage to those with pre-exisiting conditions. Justices ruled that the bill's mandate that all Americans be required to have health insurance or face a penalty was within the Consitutional power of Congress to collect taxes.

I am torn on this decision. Even though homosexuality is a sin, it is no greater a sin than lyingRead More or cheating. If the troop had boys who were not Christian & they were committing those sins then that sin was being brought into the church. I think Christians need to remember that no one sin is greater than another. I think the parents of the boy scouts would have to determine if they wanted their child to participate in the troop if their was a homosexual in their group. However, the church hosted the Boy Scouts upon a certain charter. When that charter was changed then the church has the right to decide if they want to continue the association. I know of other churches that ended their hosting of Boy Scouts last year because the group was becoming too politically polarizing & they felt that conflicted with the ministry of the church. It is a fine line with views on both sides but I feel each church has to decide what is best for them...it is after all their facilities.

Do we not remember who Jesus surrounded himself with? Don't believe for one minute that there is notRead More one homosexual in your congregation, or for that matter an adulterer, a fornicator, a thief, a liar, the list goes on. And if you are a real stickler, any divorcee that has dated or remarried is committing sin every day. I do not believe in the gay lifestyle but I do believe in what good the boy scouts do. Shame on you for abandoning them when they need you the most
