So many Christians confuse two issues:

They think that just because is is right to help the poor that it must be OK to force people to help the poor.

They try to force a “win/win” situation. In reality it is a lose/lose situation.

The giver resents the receiver because he is forced to give the aid. The receiver hates the giver because he knows the the giver is only helping because he is forced.

Only hatred and resentment are created through Government redistribution. Not Christian at all. Nation becomes less Cheistian as a result.

Giving 10% of your pretax income to charity is specified in the Bible as tithes and is required by God. This guy is right that all of what we have is God's and we are the stewards of this wealth, but we have through God the free will to give or not to give. To be forced to give is a entirely different matter. No one should be forced to give, that is government theft. The problem with liberals is that they are all for giving, it just happens that they want to use our money to give. As they say it's the intent that really matters to them.Amen.
