The Bible has quite a bit to say about personal responisbility and accepting the consequences of your sins against God and against other men. As always with Christianity and the Bible, it's all about how you interpret it and what parts you decide to read and remember.

Exactly it's all in how you interpret it
For example I could read "Ask and you shall recieve" or "Seek and you shall find" as both imperatives for society or the government to provide aid... as in asking for aid and recieving it, or seek aid and recieving it.
