John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

It is a personal choice what you share with others, that is the point of sharing, free will and choice. If I decide to give some money or goods to someone on the street it is strictly my choice, the person I'm directing the money or goods to is the recipient and is free to accept or reject it.

As far as Ayn Rand goes her philosophy is right on par with Aristotle, the leading Catholic Theologian Thomas Aquinas was similarly influenced by Aristotle. The values or Ayn Rand, Aquinas and Aristotle are all in the same vein.

Do you think Ayn Rand preached from a kitchen chair against giving a bowl of soup to a hungry person?

What exactly are you saying or preaching?

I'm asking for your sake not mine...

A little saturday morning altruism to a self loathing Jew that hates Ayn Rand... LOL

Ayn Rand wasn’t arguing against kindness or charity, she was arguing against compulsion. Luke speaks to voluntary generosity; Rand speaks to moral autonomy. There’s no contradiction unless you believe charity only counts when enforced. As for happiness is measured by living with integrity, purpose, and freedom from hypocrisy. On that score, I’m doing just fine. I find it curious that non-binary woke Jews like to quote the Christian new testament. You quoted: Luke 3:11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” Meaning and Context: Jesus is sending His apostles on their first mission to preach, heal, and proclaim the Kingdom of God. The instruction “not to wear two coats” (or “two garments”) symbolizes trust in God’s provision and the generosity of others along the way. It was a call to travel light and live by faith, not material security. Mark 6:8–9 (KJV) “And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.” Matthew 10:9–10 (KJV) “Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.” Luke 9:3 (KJV) “And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.”
