<DIV><FONT size=4>Ron(?) says:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Christ certainly calls <EM>His people</EM> to care for the poor </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Here are two of many translations of the passage from Matthew
25:31 et sec.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I fail to see any support for Ron(?)'s claim that Jesus only
speaks of <STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>His</FONT></STRONG> people and his claim
that Christians can rightgeous and frivolously ignore their duty to help the
less fortunate should they not care for the mechanism of delivery of that
help. Nor does this passage require that those destined for an alleged
heaven (the kingdom) be Christians.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Ron Smith opines:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Thanks so much for quoting the words of Christ at length. I certainly
enjoyed reading them. The part at the end troubled me, though. You know very
little about me and yet you presume to call me a goat simply because I do not
think that passage you quoted in any way refers to state sanctioned
redistribution of wealth. Christ certainly calls <EM>His people</EM> to care
for the poor and I will be the first to admit that they do not do it
enough. As well, I doubt you are willing to argue that the state should
<EM>compel</EM> each citizen to believe and live by the teachings of
Christ. As for your comparison of US taxation to that of France,
Germany, and Canada, I can only say that robbery is robbery and no kudos are
due to the one who robs <EM>less.</EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merry Christmas"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dear Ron:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I called you Billy the Goat for my own amusement. It was a cheap
shot, but who ever said shooting fish in a barrel wasn't fun? My
goodness, it's better than Whack-A-Mole! And easier, too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, as for the government compelling people to believe and live by the
teachings of Jesus, of course I would object. I am not, myself, a
Christian, but I'm nonetheless familiar with (and a frequent admirer of) his
work, particularly the Sermon on the Mount. But what does that have to
do with taxation in the US of A? How and why, exactly, do you equate
taxation (for which, thanks to the American Revolution, you have
representation) with robbery? While I agree with Woody Guthrie that some
men will rob you with a gun and others with a fountain pen, I fail to
understand how this applies to the IRS, which simply determines, based on
your annual income, what you must pay to the elected government of
this fine nation to cover your fair share of the cost of our national
defense, port security, the interstate highway system, food
safety, drug safety, the federal prison and judicial system, agricultural
subsidies, and the federally-insured deposit of that
aforementioned annual income in U.S. bank? These things don't
pay for themselves, Matey, and it puzzles me what Libertarians imagine would
happen if we were to abolish the income tax. Call it a failure
of imagination on my part, but I'm picturing pot-holes, ad hoc militias, and
some really suspect hamburger on sale at the Piggly Wiggly</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, anyone who can read Matthew 25 and not think Jesus was in favor of
the radical redistribution of wealth via the then-government of Jerusalem,
i.e., the Sanhedrin, *is* a goat. <EM>My Pet
Goat</EM>, to be exact. A kindergartner (or the President of the
United States) should be able to read and understand this particular Biblical
text without the aid of a fat preacher and the Merriam-Webster.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merry Christmas right back at ya and a happy belated Hanukah,</DIV>
