people to do so. To which I say, are we just told to care for the poor for your good, or for their good? If you really care about your brothers and sisters, then, yes, some compelling is a GOOD THING to make sure they're taken care of.

They say you can't compel people to do good, and yet they want to criminalize abortion and gay marriage because those things are immoral. It's just more hypocrisy from the Chrispies.
