When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

Does it? In the Greek it was agape, and in the context of the scriptures probably meant more like to love God. Not give monehs to the poor.It's also interesting you are bashing on Christianity, while pointing out their religion does call for charity.
But because I figured you would believe that Christianity promotes Charity and within the modern context it does, I was attempting to use your own arguments against you. Since you believe your religion says should be charitable, that you should be more charitable.
Just because it has one or more redeeming qualities doesn’t mean the rest is good and I should embrace it. My issue is not with the Charity, though I don’t think the bible promotes charity but Christians do. My issue is with the way people use their religion for negative purposes, like ignorance. And my issue is with the actual core of the teachings, not with the way the majority of Christians choose to interpret that core, to meet the expectations of modern morality.

Thanks!
I'm going on leave next week, and will probably spend a good chunk of it in the cold trying to collect funds for LLS. I'll wear my dress uniform, exploit that military edge. Hehehehe.
It's funny that I enjoy making money for charity more than I do for myself. It's a different type of satisfaction.

The NT makes it clear that Christians are to take care of those that can't take care of themselves, widows are singled out as an example, older widows I should say.
The NT also makes it clear that ALL that CAN work for their wages SHOULD.
The OT and Hebrew law mentions that a certain % of income should be given to the less fortunate, the NT mentions that too, the difference is that while in the OT that was part of the law, in the NT it is to be done out of love.
The intent behind charity being the crucial element.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Which intent would that be, the promotion of the religion? Biscuits for bibles.The intent behind charity being the crucial element.
Out of curiosity where do you get family values in the bible?
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple." Doesn't really sell me on family values.
The bible seems to consistently demand that you put your faith before your children. That doesn't really vibe with today’s values where a parent is expected to sacrifice anything and everything for their children, even their soul.
