6) That taking money from one person and giving it to another is “compassion” and “fairness”
Indeed - that’s the driving motivation for most liberals.
They want to think of themselves as a “good person”, and structure a bunch of lies around this core drive.
They want to be “righteous”, self-righteous, at least,
but definitely don’t want to submit themselves to the ONLY plan of true righteousness, substitutionary righteousness.
Now, some that call on the name of Christ fall into the “works righteousness” hole, thinking “you have to DO x,y,z in order to be righteous”. This isn’t correct and could have eternal consequences for the believer, but it’s still not as self-deceiving as the liberal belief.
The liberal belief, I call “advocacy based righteousness”.
“I am a good person because I advocate that x,y,z be done.”
They don’t see it as theft when they advocate taking one person’s property and giving it to another - BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T OR REFUSE TO EXAMINE THE ISSUE THAT DEEPLY.
Once they get the “warm fuzzy” of “I’m a good person because I want to help x,y,z”, that’s the end of the issue for them.
