(46,234 posts)to steer individuals from government services to charity services that they run. IOW, people will be dependent upon the whims of that denomination of Christianity as how they will be granted access to food, shelter, and/or medicine. (The latter could be denied anyway, with those suffering are told to pray harder.) Maybe you're desperate, you have nowhere else to go and you and your children are starving. You'd agree to their terms of attending their church services and/or volunteering for them.
Consider this: no Social Security for your disability and your old age. No ACA to seek medical assistance. No Food Stamps to eat.
This kind of "Christian" is self-serving and not all that charitable as they expect a return on their largess.

(31,535 posts)I once heard him say (before Trump) that he always votes Republican because of his Christian principles. I don't know how his conscience let's him vote for Trump.
This is a man who attends church (Southern Baptist) every Sunday, teaches Sunday School, family man, honest in his business dealing and just an all around good guy.
He despises men who talk and act like Trump, but I'm pretty sure he's going to vote for him anyway.

(21,819 posts)Used to be if you were poor and/or sick, you had to petition Churches for relief.
Under their conditions.
Now many can apply for government programs, taking power away from the Churches.

(82,383 posts)be charity and not the government.
But then they cannot explain why charity was not working in this "Christian nation" because if it were, then no one would have proposed a government program.
Problem is, their Christian nation does not follow any Christian principles.
