I think that's what Jesus would have wanted: People i.e. the faithful being pure enough to actually use that system of no government without screwing each other over. But people aren't perfect. We lie, we scheme, we murder. Additionally not everyone is a christian, not even everyone that says they're a christian "walks the walk" either, so to speak! Social welfare and programs have nothing to do with god. I think it's wrong though because people should be able to support themselves, without them having to be lazy and leech off of the government. Self sustainment. In a world without these programs, if you don't support yourself you die off, simple as that. Now that's motivation to work, work hard, and try your best. That same motivation is simply gone otherwise. So is it satanic? No, no it's not. It's human. Do I agree with social programs? Hell no. It erodes society by disrupting the natural order of things while allowing parasites to hurt the people who do try to better themselves. |
Currently, civilization has moved beyond people having plots of land which people farm, that enables them to totally self-sufficient, because they have land to produce. Today, you have very complex interdependencies, that enable some in the financial sector to take too much risks, and totally take down the economy, bankrupting millions, and ruining towns that function.
Well, based on what you wrote above, I am hard pressed to find Jesus would approve. So, it sounds like, since you don't believe Christian communal ideals are possible, you go for social Darwinism. Problem with this approach is that, if you advocate it, it is possible you will be the one dying.
