<<<So according to your view of the Christian gospels, should governments, which are essentially collections of people, behave with less charity toward the downtrodden than individuals do?>>> It is pointless to be asking Paul his opinion on anything. Religious zealots (Christians, Muslims, Sun worshipers, etc) are in a last gasp effort to keep religious beliefs relevant. Granted, to various extent, religious beliefs were important in getting us to this point in history, but their relevance, going forward, is only important as to the degree they act destructively as they try to hold on. It does not matter whether or not Paul is a religious zealot. This is not about Paul.
