Sadly, even our churches contribute to this pampering.
Well, the church I attend anyway.
We have young, able-bodied men living on our campus who are not required to do anything to earn their keep and they aren't pushed to go look for work or anything that might actually lead to the improvement of their situation.
Whenever I bring it up to anyone in leadership, I'm told that we're supposed to be our brothers' keeper and other such pap.
I bring up the Bible also says that if a man doesn't work he shouldn't eat or a man who doesn't provide for his family is a disgrace, but it falls on deaf ears.
Wow. Where did this come from? Thanks for letting me rant.
You have one of the best taglines I’ve read....
Ya know, I’m glad you brought that up.
When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”. But I have never been able to find the verse where God said that he was.
God’s beef with Cain wasn’t that he didn’t know where Abel was, but that he did. God’s beef with Cain was that he had murdered his brother.
