     Maybe her children will be so disgusted by their parents they'll strive to not be like them.
     
     Also wonder if she loves the Jesus, and thinks this is a form of God providing?

     I mean ... I'm sure that there are many people who are Christians who work the welfare system. Hell, there are pronstars who love Jesus. You stating some versus doesn't prove x for all Christians. And if you say, "well they aren't real Christians," who are you to judge their relationship with God?

     @djsumdog @Zalo Christians don't believe in not working.

     1 Timothy 5:8

     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.

     2 Thessalonians 3:10

     10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

     @djsumdog @Zalo No. You're just looking for reasons to hate Christians.

     No, I'm not. I don't hate Christians.
     
     What is a Christian anyway? The only thing that makes you a Christian is that you say you're a Christian. One thing Christians seem to have so much trouble wrapping their head around is that it's literally a self identification.
     
     I've heard some people say "you're only a Christian if you accept Christ's gift" or "Christianity is defined by Christ's sacrifice" or something about the holy spirit. These are cliches in the faith that aren't really legal tests.
     
     It's the "No true Scotsman" situation. You also accuse me of "looking for reasons to hat Christians." Another fundamental aspect of Christianity (dating all the way back to the the early church ~300 AD) is the idea of victim-hood as virtue. The blessed are those who are persecuted because of Christ (Matt 5:10) ideology. Therefore, you are also subconsciously always looked to defend yourself against any perceived persecution and a strengthening of your faith. It's truly and amazing feedback loop.
