In other words if atheists were in power we'd have a communist regime?
And to be fair if the RCC was in power we'd be back in the dark ages?
Shirking moral responsibility can have any label.
Though I can imagine people are going to fault me for bringing this up: Plato wrote that there is a distinct difference between truth and opinion. A very, very, very, forceful opinion is nothing when compared to the most moderate and modest truth. Here is the question: do you even care what the truth is? Or are you so invested in an opinion that you would rather an opinion that suits you prevail over a truth that doesn't?
If Jesus Christ was interested in the world and had worldly power, we'd have a communist regime. Luckily, his "followers" (who hate him) have power. Because of that, we enjoy capitalism. Thanks for that.
If you Christians ever want to stop loving capitalism, let me tell you about a girl in Bangladesh who was sold into prostitution at 9 years old. Her mother and father were factory workers. Unable to stop the pull of the societal force which told them (against their every instinct) "your daughter is a commodity, not a person" they allowed it to happen. If you want to stop the objectification of human beings, you must stop capitalism. But you're too busy promoting Jesus-ism to fight capitalism , aren't you?
According to some schmuck: there is a heavenly kingdom and an earthly kingdom. Christians worship the latter and oppose anyone who doesn't do the same.
