Well it doesn't make sense. It seems so disingenuous.

It certainly does make sense. And it is hardly disingenuous.

Individual Christian families are better at being generous then huge government bureaucracies. We use the money more effectively. We help the needy get on their feet...while the government just tends to build unhealthy dependencies.

It IS ABSOLUTELY disingenuous... AND phoney.

The idea that person who is really concerned about helping the poor, and is willing to make personal sacrifices to do so would be UPSET that at Govt agencies like welfare, food stamps etc is absurd.

Well when you get old and need Social Security, be sure to return your Govt check each month and just tell "Christian families" that you are their financial burden from now on.

I am willing to bet you don't practice what you preach.
