There is an incentive for churches to remove government safety nets so that desperate people have to turn to churches for charity.
This gives churches the chance to try to convert people they otherwise wouldn’t. I think this is bad because it is manipulative and discourages some people from getting help.
We need government safety nets so that they can be applied fairly to all people, and so that everyone is comfortable claiming them if they qualify.

It’s a good look for their cause for sure, but this used to be handled far more efficiently than it is now. Perhaps the modern system is a form of money laundering. People can’t be THAT wasteful, right?
