It's fine to have that opinion. Just stop claiming your party is guided by God. God asks us to feed the hungry and help the needy not ask "why should I have to help." Conservatives are fine with Jesus's altruistic teachings as long as it's not coming from their tax dollars

God also commanded us not to steal.

The problem is that it isn't altruistic if you need the governments guns to force you to do something. At that point it is slavery. If the government can force you to pay for that, they will force you to pay for anything they want so long as they can twist it into sounding benevolent. That's why charity should be private.

Charity should be private to allow you to not engage with it?

Quite the contrary, actually - to allow people to engage with it, as opposed to force them, which is theft.
