Socialism Makes People Selfish.....

This spells it out simply and clearly.

Many of you in your false and unrighteous degrading of me claim "I'm" the entitled.
But what you don't get, is that had it not been for the Church believing it was their duty to help, I would right now be homeless on the street, however because of my serious health issues, I wouldn't even be able to do that (even though I've done it before intentionally for about 5 months, and it was no big deal, but I was also healthy and could move then), so I would instead have no other option to get the care I needed, but to pretend to commit a crime and have the government care for me. Not that that would be something I would want to do, because I already had this choice once before, and I chose to take my life instead. But God had other plans apparently, and I lived, so since I can't do that again, prison would be the only other option, unless there's some program etc. where people could set up everything for me etc.

Anyway, I don't "expect" anything.... Just because I'm being helped, doesn't mean I expect it, or feel "entitled" to it.
I have always been proud, and this has been the hardest thing. But you liberals do. You expect it for others, and for yourself.
You turn things into "rights" that are not rights.... The 2nd Amendment right is far more of a right than things you liberals think are rights.

Your 'serious health issue' is that you overate to the point of immobility and being unable to wipe your own arse (as you claim), yet you say that the Church has a duty to bring you food, or pay your rent or cover your utility bills.

You choose to do this.

Your entitlement mentality seems very well-established here.

I feel that food, shelter, clean water and basic health care are basic human rights. I believe they are much more important than the 2nd amendment.

There are people who live their entire lives successfully without a gun. Not so for food and water.

You can't go to prison for pretending to commit a crime.

What was your plan?

Has our socialized education system made people selfish? The roads and bridges? The police and fire departments? The military? The post offices and public libraries? Water and electricity? Museums, parks, forests, beaches, etc? Snow removal and sewer? Landfills and waste removal? Homeland security and border control?

I can go on.

One can easily argue that unrestricted and unregulated capitalism fosters more greed than the alternative.

So the message here is that church, being the socialist organization it is, makes its members selfish.

Now I understand why faqs posts the way he does. It's all coming together.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
