Just because Deity hasn't charmed your heart and soul yet, don't succumb to communism

There are a lot of malcontents and disaffected and often instead of running a spiritual diagnostic of their whole awareness they instead turn to unsavoury mindsets such as the racism and sexism and also socialism/communism.

Do not do this you unbelievers. Tackle your misery by choosing a passion that is not founded on bitterness and envy Then you will become enlightened and this you will be aligned in your soul to the All Creator.

What a load of shite.

GeraldVeritasSeeker · 18-21, M

@Entwistle you have a lot of negatively

@GeraldVeritasSeeker Not true at all.

socialism/communism they are two different mind sets.. learn what the difference is.
Both socialism and communism place great value on creating a more equal society and removal of class privilege. The main difference is that socialism is compatible with democracy and liberty, whereas Communism involves creating an 'equal society' through an authoritarian state, which denies basic liberties.

Sorry, but the most popular deity in my area actively promotes communism

It's the love of money that is incompatable with Jesus.. Not money on it's own..

No. Re-read the verses I quoted:

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. - Matthew 6:19

Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. - Corinthians 10:24

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. - Matthew 6:24

That is either a statment of an uninformed person, or a liar.. There have been many rich benifactors in history.. They have given fortunes out to the needy..

Those who accrue capital in a capitalistic system are extremely resistant to releasing/distributing it. This is unequivocally observable in the real world. The liar here is you.

o integril to the promised land was the private ownership of Land which was the priamary means of production

Not necessarily. And again

The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants - Leviticus 25:23

That's not how private property works.

@Elessar Again you have to read verses in context of the entire Bible Elessar... And again you have to be given greater understanding by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.. You can make up any kind of doctrine if you post verses in isolation.. I know that from the many iunterations i have had with religous people..

@Adstar Translated to plain English: "You have to read the bible and interpret it in a way that supports my political agenda".

Not really, Adstar. I can read by myself and make a sense of what I'm reading. Those verses are self-explanatory, there's no context to extrapolate, Jesus was consistently against social iniquities caused by the accumulation of wealth throughout the entire NT. Your bible is a perfect anti-capitalist manifesto, whether you like it or not.

You do not need a religion to be a good person or to form a political opinion.
Most people who support communism and socialism do not envy people they rather want a better life for all.

@GeraldVeritasSeeker So according to your worldview which political positions do you consider moral?
No one is free of biases therefore no one can appraise the universe/their environment in it's "natural" state.

GeraldVeritasSeeker · 18-21, M

@SW-User the political compass that is moral is that one must accept that the issue is too big for any human to be correct about it.

A lot of people have died because of the communism.

SW-User

@GeraldVeritasSeeker That we can agree on!

Same goes for capitalism and right wing ideologies. Therefore Socialism with capitalist influence sounds good. Find a compromise without violence through working together.

How about adherents to nontheistic religions?

GeraldVeritasSeeker · 18-21, M

@CopperCicada they're ok

jackieash27

If you were to read the bible, all the teachings attibuted to Jesus marks him out to be socialist. Certainly got upset with the money men at the temple, didn't he?
