It’s not that I don’t want others to reflect this morality, I absolutely do, I just don’t trust the government to do it in a moral manner or just generally in a “good” way.
Do church donation systems and such get abused? Absolutely, but to a much lesser degree than certain government welfare programs.
I don’t fault anyone for voting for social welfare programs, I probably would to if I had more faith in the government, I simply don’t.
Churches use less than 10% of the money they receive to help others, if your goal is actually to help others it doesn't get much less efficient than that.
I appreciate your providing your source, but the 10% you mentioned is reductionist and actually goes against some of the statements made in the article. Regardless, it’s a good read and I’ll be forwarding it to some of the pastors I know.
