[MD] Dawkins a Materialist (is watching?)

Those are all good things to do provided you don't force others to do them 
and make recepients dependent on them, i.e., teach a man to fish. Jesus said
something about render unto Caesar the things that are his, and unto God the
things that are His, or words to that effect. Jesus was anything but Marx.
You'll not there is nothing in the Declaration or the Constitution about
rights that have to be provided by the forced labor of others such as food,
shelter and health care.

Not good examples here Platt. Jesus's comments regarding Caesar are hard to
assess in modern time. First century Jews believed that the whole of Israel
belonged to God so one reading of his words is that he was saying not to
give Caesar squat.

Jesus and his followers were more Marxists than Marx. In the early church
followers held all property in common. In Acts when a convert and his wife
receive an inheritance and hold a little back for themselves Peter declares
it the justice of God when the man is stricken dead. (I think I have muddled
the details of that story a bit but feel free to research it and correct
me.)
