It really bugs me when non-Christians take it on themselves to paraphrase the Bible. If you're not a believer, the LEAST you could do is find an actual passage to back yourself up, rather than just popping off what you yourself admit is, at best, an uninformed opinion.
Fair enough. Maybe, as a Christian, you can help me find the Biblical passage where Jesus, after excoriating the lepers for their questionable lifestyle choices, refuses to heal them until he's duly compensated. I know it's in here, somewhere...
By your logic, the Americans With Disabilities Act is unconstitutional, as it forces private entities (businesses) to buy something (ramps, railings, elevators) or pay a fine.
Obviously this places a horrible burden on business. Every day I read in the papers about the next company going out of bue. If the wheelchair-bound wish to buy things they should exercise some personal responsibility and learn to walk, eh?
