    Georgia apparently would rather put 10 year olds into debt than feed children. It’s the best they can do as Christians.

      It is biblical. Charity to people like Paul was freely given out of love vs welfare-taxation system we have now.

      Of course a good person who was a Christian could reason out

      “Paul was in Rome so he must have seen the free donations of food given by the emperor to the city’s poor but didn’t comment on it. Which meant that when he talks about charity he is talking about a supplement, yes a supplement not a first response, to actual effective large scale operations. I should be happy with both. A good government that works hard that I add too. Not a bad government I helped create and stick a bandaid on by throwing a twenty in the collection plate”.

      A pity this doesn’t seem to occur to them. Despite the theological wiggle room.
