    “I’m a true American. I believe in the USA,” said the man, outside Christ the Servant Lutheran church in Conway. “And I don’t believe in communism or socialism.”

    Therefore, I don’t believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

      Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.

      This is what I don’t understand about victims of capitalism. Why can’t they see that the system isn’t working for them and thus they need to try something else?

      I have to laugh every single time I hear some xtian (probably of the NAR xtian type, too) talk about how because they are xtian and therefore communism and/or socialism == bad.

      Especially because I know there are active xtian groups today that practice what is generically called Christian socialism, such as the Hutterites. Also, Christian communism predates the likes of Marx and Engels, FFS.
