I don't want Christianity outlawed just like I don't think it should be illegal for palm readers and fortune tellers to fleece people out of money. If you're dumb enough to buy it, it's a free country and religion is a business. I'm pro business. My family's church tells everyone they should give 10% of their income. My brother makes over $500k. So they want $50,000 from him every year. WOW.Why does it bother you? Jesus was quite clear that he did not come for everyone, because not everyone needs a physician--only those who are ailing. He noted that he did not come for the flock that were peacefully grazing as they should, but that sheep who was lost. Jesus noted that seek and find, but also informed us that no one comes to the Father unless drawn by the Father.Get over it
I am ailing and I am lost and God drew me (and others like me) to Him. Why would someone with your good health and no need of being drawn to God begrudge this to someone who is in need?
In the story of the Prodigal Son, the Father told the good son, Everything I have is yours...but I need to provide the younger with attention, too.
Why do you, one of the older sons, begrudge we who are younger and more in need?
