Here is the argument the author of this article uses to defend his ridiculous opinion: “A majority voting for a welfare program supported by tax money is inconsistent with Christian behavior, for it abolishes the act of choice (free will) of all those who voted against the program. (Such matters should never be brought to a vote for no man has the right to force others to support a welfare project.) True charity, without choice, is an impossibility, and when attempted, negates the concept of Christian love.”
Boris says: Of course this argument is ridiculous because we all have to pay for things we’d rather not. For example I don’t want my tax dollars wasted on these illegal incursions in Iraq and Afghanistan or to support Israel’s policy of apartheid in Palestine. No man has a right to force others to support an undeclared, unprovoked and illegal war. I don’t want tax revenues going to religious cults like Teen Challenge either. Plus I don’t appreciate that I have to pay higher taxes to make up for the deficit in revenue caused by the fact that Christian churches and organizations pay no taxes. I don’t have a choice in these matters either. The author of this article also complained about the government’s use of force. He would have no problem with the government using physical force on women who do not want to be pregnant though. Dr. Johnson would have no problem with the government forcing women in this country into becoming government owned breeding animals. The hypocrisy and sheer willful ignorance of the far right, the fundamentalist Christian community is just off the charts.
