Well, you did not succeed. As so often in such arguments you left out a great deal of highly relevant quotations on the theme of tolerance, compassion, generosity, and the like. Ignoring those and selecting out a sanctimonious and righteous, but narrow, interpretation about the select acceptable ones versus the abandoned many does, IMHO, a great disservice to any appeal his reputation might have to those not already in his precious flock. You know why? Because you make him sound like an elitist bigot with no grounding in human compassion.

So does your image of hypothetical people acting as mooches and sponges without contributing anything.

Just wanted to clarify my position on the picture you just painted, there, Slag-me-lad. No hard feelings.
