Socially Responsible Criminal Behavior

Socially Responsible Criminal Behavior

Two things have greatly influenced my Christian life. One is science and the other is economics.

Science says there are established rules of how things work, and if you do not follow the rules bad things happen.

Economics says there is Moral Hazard to bailing out/offering welfare, because there is no reason to stop bad behavior if there is a bailout or welfare.

Economics says Socially Responsible Criminal Behavior is still criminal behavior even if it is socially responsible.

A lot of people (mostly democrats) thought they were making very Socially Responsible decisions when they forced banks to make risky sub prime loans through the Community Reinvestment Act.

The banks knew they were violating good banking principles when they made loans to people who did not meet normal qualification requirements.

America is in a major recession/depression because of Socially Responsible Criminal Behavior.

Democrats like to think they are like Robin Hood, who robbed from the rich to give to the poor, but Robin Hood did have to rob the rich. I have always worried about how much really got to the poor with both Robin Hood and democrats.

This illogical thinking can lead to a priest saying it acceptable for a poor person to steal or can lead a person that calls them self a Christian to murder an abortion doctor.

The Bible has an established set of commandments/doctrines of what works for humans, and if you do not follow the commandments/doctrines bad things happen.

Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord/Savior and committing to following the commandments/doctrines of the Bible is the Christian Lifestyle that leads to the most environmentally friendly, socially responsible lifestyle that can exist on earth.
