It strikes me as so hypocritical of those who profess their faith or religion the most have the least compassion for those that are in need or those that need understanding or help.
A faith of convenience is not a faith at all.
Not at all. They have a lot of compassion for those in need, and share generously. They just object to the government taking what they have and "sharing" on their behalf.
Sometimes, not helping is a better method of helping those in need.
