Even Ayn Rand was okay with charity as long as you do it because you want to and not out of guilt. She was an asshole, but she made herself sound worse than she actually was by using her own meaning for words like altruism (self-sacrifice without anything in return, even satisfaction) and selfishness (enlightened self-interest).

If the scribes are liars, why believe anything in the Bible?
