[Secret Agent Man]

real christians understand that charity is not the same thing as forced government confiscation.

charity is voluntary, and people have freedom to decide who to give to, and in what amount. charity is not forcing everyone to pay a certain rate because government determines a pet cause and demands at point of gun/imprisonment that you have no choice but to comply with their demands for your money.

[cripplecreek]

The collective salvation of social justice teaching is false salvation.

Taking from others to do good may may the taker feel good but it doesn't save them or the man who was robbed. It just convinces people that they have been saved by force so they have no further responsibility.


True salvation comes with giving of our own free will. I don't know if his thinking was religious but Calvin Coolidge got it.

Duty is not collective. It is personal.
