Wacky Wednesday--Grace is Stupid

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~What’s wrong with just giving people what they deserve?
~Grace undermines personal responsibility.
~It indebts people unfairly.
~It does not teach people how to solve their own problems.
~It creates dependency.
~If you don’t give everyone equal relief from what they deserve, it becomes disparate treatment.
~Grace must not be so great or else we would be encouraged to sin so that it might abound.
~The soil for growing grace is evil and imperfection, so how can something good grow out of that?
~It’s just a manipulative to get better behavior out of people.
~People abuse it and those who are prone to give it.
