Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” (BibleGateWay, Ephesians) Robin Hood does not follow this verse.

Robin Hood gives the stolen resources to people in need, the “poor”. A follower of Jesus Christ will follow everything in the Holy Bible. Stealing is…

The story of Robin Hood could be used as a metaphor for the message of Atlas Shrugged. Its original form is the story of a man, who fights from those who would seek to steal the rightful property of the people, but human perception corrupted its meaning, and it became the story of a man who steals from the wealthy and gives to the needy. To some, this may seem like a minor difference, but it changes the meaning. It shifts the purpose of robin from a defender of property, to a provider for the…
