(1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.) Some, like myself, mature mentally, a little slower than others. I've always been a conservative, but tweaked my idea of it some as I finally aged. Socialism may seem to have worked well for the people of Europe, but the constant help that the people got has caused them to lose it, because of a government, whose financial back was broken by the strain of less and less well off workers paying for more and more healthy slackers. (2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”) It has seemed to me that Socialists are trying to make governments their god, so that all of the good stuff that the bible says should be done for others, can be forced upon everyone now. They don't realize that only the real God can cause that and not by force, but by love.
