Envy is a Deadly Sin.
Also, Charity is what you do with your OWN money.
The POOR he said we’d always have with us. There will always be people who opt to be lazy, spend the whole pay check on beer, and gamble their wife the waitress tip money at the Casinos. Poverty is horrible, you got to get rid of it one case at a time, by people who have had bad luck start making some smarter choices.
Right. Communism is when you're forced to give up your money. Charity is when you give it up willfully.
Amen, amen, and amen.
I am a Christian, and I reject out of hand the claims of those on the left, especially liberal theologians, who claim that it is in-step with the social justice aspects of Christ’s message to accept government redistribution of wealth.
I cannot accept that Jesus would approve of a leviathan bureaucracy confiscating the fruits of the labor of the productive and distributing it to the unproductive. A leviathan government that takes the place of God in the hearts and minds of the masses.
Sloth is also a deadly sin. Between sloth and envy, it would appear that Big Brother government uses deadly sins to enslave the masses.
Christ taught us that we must want to help those in need.
It’s one thing to give out of a charitable heart. Entirely another to have it forcibly extracted by Fedzilla.
