[Hajman]

If I may jump in, it seems rather like the "progressive" income tax, coupled with the welfare system. Destroy the very best, as an undeserved gift to the rest of us. I never looked at it this way before. These discussions are an excellent stimulant.

Only with Christanity, the very best wasn't destroyed, and yes, it is an undeserved gift. However, your comparison with the tax isn't exactly right on, since the tax is not exactly the perfect system to begin with.

... the very best wasn't destroyed ...

Then ... where's the sacrifice? I thought I understood all of this, but I'm getting confused.
