"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.'" -- Ronald Reagan
Family is a form of government under God. Health, welfare, and education are, according to God, the responsibility of the Family. As such, it has been given jurisdiction over what does or does not go into a child's body and mind. The family is free to seek outside help in fulfilling these responsibilities, but they cannot delegate them. The responsibility, in other words, is non-transferable.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Nurture and admonition are the responsibility of the parent. Nurture includes nourishment of body, soul, mind, and strength. It is a parent's duty to consider carefully what goes into and what does not go into their child's head and heart and what gets placed into their hands. Health, welfare, and education are here placed primarily on the plate of a child's parent. God has assigned them this post and they are not free to loan it to someone else or abandon it altogether.
1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
God has made it clear. You are responsible for your own. He assigns you those who are your own by making them your family. In other words, simply stated: your family is your responsibility.
The State has no jurisdiction over our bodies or our minds. It has no say in what our children eat or read. God has not given it to them and we are not free to hand it over to them. Baalfare is the State's attempt to take over health and welfare. Feducation is the State's attempt to take over education. The State wants to absorb the jurisdiction of the Family in order to eliminate its authoritative structure. If the State can offer to serve, provide, and protect you, you can functionally eliminate fathers and mothers. But not because they don't think fathers and mothers don't matter, but because they know that they DO. That's why they want to PLAY father and mother for you and make your health, welfare and educational decisions. They don't want to eliminate the concept of one person making health and education decisions on behalf of someone else, they want TO BE the ONE person making ALL health and education related decisions for everyone else.
So Christians, let us take our lumps as pariahs, but not as participants. Let us suffer as Christians honoring our responsibilities before God, not as appeasers trying to win favor with the world. Let us hold the line, not our abuser's whips. Why make it easier for them? Why help them rob you of your God-given responsibility? Why support Caesar's power grab for that which does not belong to Caesar?
The State is not God. The State has a God and will answer to Him, whether they pass a law or not. They do not have standing in His presence, so let us not bow down in theirs.

Baalfare: a system of distribution predicated upon the notion that the State not only has the authority to dispense the rain, but the ability to produce it.
Feducation: a system of indoctrination predicated upon the notion that the State not only owns the trademark on truth, but also the means of production and distribution.
