Of course, if someone would be willing to take up Ananias maybe I would have moved on to that one, too. But Britt just about said it in a nutshell - as usual. When Jesus is telling us to sell our possessions and give to the poor, I don't think he was suggesting that we encourage the government to do so by force. To me, that sounds like a joke - if I could only figure out how to turn it into a punchline. Heh, I was thinking about mentioning Herod.
