Christianity, Divisions, Fear Manipulation, and Post Modernist Theories

[genkaus]

The article presented an informed and detailed study of the point I was making. It seemed suitably unbiased to me which is why I presented it.

A little research would've convinced you otherwise.

The core motivator is shown to be Christian/ religious. I would agree on the anti Christian example of most of capitalism. I think the article addresses that, as does the axiom: the love of money is the root of all evil.

Given that the core motivation for capitalism is love for money - I'm surprised you'd consider it to be compatible with Christianity.

I detailed one abomination committed by the church, of which there are countless examples. That does nothing to discredit things done by the church consistent with its doctrine.

I'm saying that the Church was not acting consistently with the doctrine with regards to all its high-interest money lending.

Christianity is also compatible with socialism. Christ had been referred to as a socialist. The point being made is that capitalism rests upon the concept of personal freedom.

And Christianity doesn't.

Re slavery: you're mixing up abominable acts of corrupt Christians with the acts of Christians acting in accordance with doctrine.

And here I thought that slavery was in accordance with your doctrine.

Provide more than your say so on historic information and I'll gladly consider it.

Do your own research. Study up on the history of capitalism and slavery in medieval ages.
