I've no problem with someone else having two lollipops if I only have one.
I have a problem when some has more lollipops than they could possibly eat while another kid starves.

Then give the kid some food out of your own fridge.

It's not your place to tell another person what to do with what they have. You are only responsible for what you decide to do or not do.

You might (rightly) conclude that a wealthy person who stands by and ignores a starving person is a selfish, heartless jerk. That still doesn't give you (or anyone else) the right to take that wealthy person's money and give it to the poor person.

Says who? It's as much my place to tell another what to do with their money as it is your place to tell me what to (not) do with my words.

Your comment is such a bizarre comment for a Christian to make...
