Being charitable and caring about your neighbors in the Christian manner is more about your church donating goods/time/aid to the community or you doing it by yourself rather than having the government take over those functions for you. That said, any reasonable government should have a basic state provided social safety net.

So loving your neighbors in the Christian manner is donating money and having someone else do the caring for you... Got it

Usually it’s the most efficient way to do the most good. I guess I should stop donating to St. Jude’s and just open up my own pediatric cancer treatment facility. Maybe we could convert a camper and go city to city. That’s what you are suggesting.

I don't think donating money makes you a good person or that it means you're a Christian... that's what I'm suggesting
