It's simply not theft. It's a more like a large insurance pool to keep you from being destitute. This allows people who for some reason or another who couldn't pay into SS for their entire lives to be covered. We simply can't have huge portions of our population that cannot work or spouses who didn't work to raise children be without income in their retirement years.
I entertain myself by asking an atheist what year they think it is. Personally I am agnostic and say what you want about that, but the one thing we agnostic have over the uber religious and atheists is we are more open minded.
My entire adult life I have been agnostic, but I’m pretty open-minded, too. Truth be told, I am currently taking RCIA classes at church because I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. The classes are a formality, of course. The real education (for me) comes from scripture and the writings of the church fathers. There is an absolute treasure trove of theology and philosophy just waiting to be read for those who want it.I entertain myself by asking an atheist what year they think it is.
