If you're suggesting that we should accept something because it is in the Christian Bible, you're suggesting that we should accept anything in said bible. (Why? Because your argument for that thing applies to everything in said bible.) Moreover, surely you accept everything in said bible.

Your assumptions are silly. I simply pointed out the literary origin of what was offered as a definition of socialism.

But it is somewhat amusing to me that some of the people who argue rabidly against socialism are proud of the fact that they do accept everything in the Bible.

Since the Bible doesn't say that govt should do those things ....

FWIW, religious folk do give more to charities than non-religious folk.
