There is a legitimate role for society to hold in caring and helping the most vulnerable
Society does not equal Government.
Having the government budget monies to help the truly needy is not anti Conservative or anti Christian.
Yes it is on both counts. You're countenancing the use of stolen money. There's absolutely nothing "christian" about that. Theft is theft no matter why it's done or who is doing it.
Given the choice between my tax dollars going to help a pregnant women get the healthful food she needs for her baby and my tax dollars going to bail out banks I’ll take the former over the latter.
That's a false choice. You shouldn't be forced by Government to fund either.
You left out some of my post in your response to it.
“But such aid should be temporary and the private sector should be the ones adminstering the programs. With the hope that at some point no government aid will be needed to help the poor.”
Government aid should be to provide a true safety net in emergency situations.
The biggest problem I have with government aid is that it does a very bad job of moving people out of poverty and in providing the most help for the least cost.
But local community help funded partially by taxes voted on by local people and under the oversight of the citizens to make sure it is used to help the most vulnerable is not something I am against.
