Not Christian

The most upsetting and ironic thing about Texas' suit against the ACA & PrEP is that they base their claims on the basis of being Christian, but are acting in the most unChristlike manner I can imagine. Christ believed in healing the sick. Christ believed in giving comfort. Christ believed in being humble. He believed in helping your enemies by showing them kindness and generosity. 

Denying people medical coverage that could prevent HIV is hateful. Christ was not hateful. Denying people medical coverage that could prevent HIV is spiteful. Christ was not spiteful. Christians are supposed to draw people to their beliefs by living in a way that makes goodness and kindness radiate from them. Nothing about this is good or kind. 

Look, if you want to say you deeply and sincerely believe in this, okay more power to you. But stop saying it's about being a Christian. There is nothing Christian about this kind of behavior.
