It seems I get a lot of that here. Whe. I look a around I only seem to see socialism in combination with capitalism working well. How do you see it?
I still despise religion and the church, but no longer I inform myself about it or dedicate much thought to it. My interest has shifted toward capitalism instead.
Anyone relates? God speed
Critical? Sure. Aware of it's potential for harm? Absolutely. As much as any preacher sitting up there talking about the evils of this world and ideological materialism. I think the misperception of some split is a remnant of cold war propaganda. We were the faithful capitalists, they were the godless communists. Universe loves irony, a bunch of people who say they follow a religion founded by a mooching commie who claimed to be the dictator of everything and who told them to give away all they have...have come to think of themselves as the guardians of private property...still engaged in some holy war with communists atheists.
