God's economy

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Well it also says that if a person won't work then let him starve.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NKJV) = "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat."

[FebruaryOfReason]

God's economy:

keep borrowing and borrowing against the future. No crash is coming. Just keep believing. Ignore the mounting problems. Keep believing at all costs.

[Cato]

God is as ignorant of economics as he is of science and morality.

My aunt and uncle do this, Joel Fucking Osteen has a lot to do with it.

God ordains communism.

Really.

Go read about Ananias and Sapphira.

They weren't good enough commies and God SLEW them for being slackers.


Pretty clear to me that Karl Marx lifted his whole scheme from the BIBLE.

BTW, the pilgrims (the 1620 Plymouth, Massachusetts pilgrims) tried BIBLE COMMUNISM, and threw in the towel on it after killing 2/3 of their flock.

The pilgrims problem was by and large they knew fuck all about farming.

Watching a movie set on an an American Indian reservation prompted a thought about the economy types represented within the bible. It is notable that the bible does not address the evil of "Taxation without representation" or the evils of theft by government. In several American Indian nations, there was little to no concept of personal ownership of land. Yet ownership of land by god's chosen tribes is a major theme that runs throughout the bible.

Why would a god promote individual and tribal possession over universal freedom if it were more than a goat herder's story?

Why do you think one is better than the other? Why wouldn't he? Is it evil to own land?

That's a BS compareason.

The Indians highly valued tribal lands just like the Jews did.

Land meant clean water, food, and the supplies needed to survive both in the Americas as well as the Middle east.

Why do you think their was so much infighting among the different tribes if their wasn't any value placed on land ownership?

How was this tribal conflict any different than the Tribe of Israel fighting the moabites or the Canaanites in your opinion? Or did you do no research before you came to your conclusion?

If you didn't do any research this would explain alot in the way you phrased your questions. No research means you assume that the Indians as a race of people never fought over personal ownership of land. Meaning people Generally did not fight over parcels. However that does not mean they did not fight argue and die over land between tribes. Matter of fact why do you think their were few disputes over personal ownership? Because unlike your understanding of society, individuality was crushed in their soceity. People were not allowed to see them selves as individuals, but as a small part of a larger tribe. It again was the tribe who own lands, it was one's task to defend his land when challenged, individuals could not do this alone, but tribes could send dozens if not hundreds of warriors to defend and Conquer land.. JUST LIKE THE JEWS DID!
