    I love people who reject religion - then start preaching when they think they can leverage it to get the government to steal a few bucks for them.

      I don't 'reject' religion. I'm agnositc, if anything.

      I'm just generally interested in the notion that Jesus would have been anti-welfare.

            Yeah, I'm sure He would have been all for fascist governments taking people's money to spend as they see fit. He was very pro-establishment, I hear.

                No, the government doesn't have to be the middle man. However, if a given society is rife with inequalities and the individuals in that society are not doing enough to rectify those inequalities isn't it only 'Christian' of the government to help redistribute wealth?

                Would Christ have been comfortable with the idea of billionaires? And when people ask 'why should I pay for you?' would he not have asked 'why would you not want to pay for the less fortunate?'

                    no, he said "give ten percent of everything you have to the church". and the church would care for them.
                    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

                            FORD is not a "defense" contractor, My son.
