Umm Reverend, Can you tell me where in the bible it says "take from those who produce,at the point of a sword, and give to those who do not produce so they, the non producers, will vote for you every 2 years ...

Exactly! Biblical Scripture mandates charity to be from the Christian individual's rather than the goverment's soul (and wasn't it Jesus himself you remarked that the "poor will always be with us?"

Does that mean that God designed us with some getting a better deal in life, than others?

Exactly right.

Charity is a moral duty of the individual. Advocating the state forcible take and give it is an avoidance of that duty. Leftists, like this author. think that because they advocating forcing other people to give to “the poor” he is filling that duty.

No Sir, he is avoiding his duty to minister to the poor himself by demanding everyone else do it for him
