Does he have a valid point?

Don't mistake me though, I no longer believe either. I just have a strong dislike for partial quotes to prove an opposite viewpoint.

Yea, partial quotes. Sometimes the actual quote in it's context can be quite strange, especially when coming from something like the old testament. All kinds of weird stuff in there best not spoken about a lot if you want to appear pro-christian and also sane.

But as far as this priest guy, yea in UK there's a lot of people without housing and work. Quite often these people die from pneumonia etc. while sleeping outside during winter etc. I guess for these people stealing is the only hope, especially when the christian church isn't helping out with it's multi-billion euro/pound wealth that keeps growing every year.
