“When men get in the habit of helping themselves to the property of others, they cannot be easily cured of it.”

And that requires taxing people's labors?  You cannot raise a man up by tearing another man down.

Mr Archer, I am completely against the practices of predation and in a favor of honest integrity. You are tearing down folks when you are not properly housing, feeding, and developing everyone and blaming this same victim.

It is not the citizen's responsibility to feed or house his neighbor, so neither can it be the representative government's responsibility either.  Charity and compassion must be voluntary, and dare I say essential for a 'civilized' people.  Most social ills are caused by government overstepping its authority — like printing money until it becomes nearly worthless, which is the primary cause of poverty in the world.  Every animal in nature must provide for itself or else perish.  Man cannot avoid the laws of nature.

Something, according to the child's tale, even the great god couldn't respond to, but you are your brother and sister's keeper.  We are an advanced creature of social responsibility and we will carry out this action for it is nature's command for us to enable all of life's preservation directive.

Mr Archer, you and all the other degenerates miss the entire point of our very existence. We need not hunt and kill for preservation. We have a responsibility to exchange information and positive labor to better enhance our survival by positive production and creation.  We have an obligation to more than just a bunch of cowardly murderers, rapist, and robbers. We are intended by nature to be honorable universal citizens of integrity and responsibility through law abiding connection and transmission.

The quote is about helping ourselves to the property of others.  Robbing Peter to pay Paul is a corruption of the Golden Rule.  Twisting the Biblical verse "Am I my brother's keeper?" to defend plunder is a classic tactic used by atheists to supposedly confront the faithful's hypocrisy, all the while their own hypocrisy knows no bounds in their 'legalized' theft of the fruits of the labors of the freeman.

Mr Archer, nothing was twisted, what was displayed was just an observance of the insubstantialism  of the all knowing, all seeing god.  The child's tale is as follows: Cain murders his brother Abel, over Abel's produce. The god supposedly asked Cain about the whereabouts of his brother Abel. Cain answered as the story follows, "Am I my brothers keeper?"   The god guy didn't answer as we recall. We gullible catholic kid's undoubtedly knew that the god guy knew. But the hard core catholic kids knew because of the numerous attempts to kill their own family members. The gullible just stopped attending the church, started thinking, stopped believing in the gods and understanding we are responsible for ourselves and everyone else. It's called mental and social health, Socialism. Again we are our brother and sister's keeper.

It is indeed a shame that the corruptions of the Catholic Church have caused so many to throw the baby out with the bath water.  Are Jesus' words any less true because of wickedness in high places? 

Once again, the socialists attempt to appropriate what they never created and what is not theirs.  Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Statists, whether religious or atheistic, seek power — they claim authority over others, declaring any view other than their own to be inferior.  Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile — they are 'liberal' no more. 

"The devil cites scripture for his own purposes..."

Mr Archer,  Jesus is not much more than a myth to me. The story of Jesus depends on who tell it. Hulk Hogan's version would present itself along the lines "Jesus said, if I wasn't nailed to this cross I would kick all your arses," and so on. There's definitely no devil, mentally ill folks can make the devil characterization description tale appear an amateur, maybe an angel.  About misappropriation, the Socialist just desires a more legitimate economic base than drug running and sex trafficking. I personally seek only to control my own sound moral behavior.  Absolute authority is moral authority, and absolute morality is the human authority.
