This writer has some good points but really does not know that a “Christian”is!
THE TEACHING OF JESUS/(YESHUA the original name given to “Jesus”) R NOT being taught correctly, are not followed by most “Christians” & mostly miss-interpenetrated by human minds.
Must agree most of humans Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Christian, etc have;
DOG RELIGION (oops dyslexic or*)…
whatever you can’t eat or fuck then U piss on it! essentially self centered, narcissistic, plain old $$$ greed, ego, pride, power…. blinds them/u/me into self deception… i pray to THE GOD that i don’t have DOG fleas that R infecting me with DOG Religion Virus.
(*DOG…GOD spelled backward typical Satanical stuff)
Both Democrats & Republicans have the DOG RELIGION Virus… hard to tell what viral-mutation; Muslim Dog, or Christian Dog or Catholic Dog Religion but basically ALL the same flue epidemic world wide.
Quick better call up Baxter Pharmaceutical to cure the problem; Baxter almost killed hundreds/thousands with the killer bird virus in their flue vaccines by “accident”; vacines were shipped to 18 countries; a single lab tech correctly did her job & samples/tested the shipment received; discovered that it killed all of the laboratory test animals.

First, the title is outrageously – and unnecessarily – overbroad, demeaning and provocative. It should more properly have been “Why Do Some Christians Worship Greed?” The tendency of the anti-faith media to deliberately “broad-brush” is not simply denigrating, but completely unprofessional from a journalistic perspective.
Indeed, the author says there are “significant numbers of serious Christian theologians” who “argue” that “unfettered capitalism represents God’s plan for human thriving.” Excuse me? Exactly what does the writer mean by “significant numbers?” Even more importantly, what criteria is he using for “serious Christian theologians?” Since he does not make any attempt to define either of these phrases, his claims are prima facie suspect.
More cogently, however, is that the author completely overlooks the truest form of “Christian economics,” as stated clearly and overtly in the New Testament by Paul:
“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common…Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,and laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” (Acts 4:32-35)
Get that? “From each according to his ability to provide, to each according to his need.” It is a supreme irony that it was CHRISTIANS – not Marx – who first developed economic “communism” (or, more correctly, communalism) – and then Marx not only stole it, but turned around and called religion “the opium of the masses.” Perhaps he was trying to cover up his theft…
Ultimately, the only “economic plan” specifically spoken of in the New Testament is the one above – which is about as far from capitalism as it can possibly be. Yet not one reporter or pundit that I have ever read has had the courage to state this.
Peace.

U did not mention “Paul” was a Pharisee of Pharisees…good & very bright Jew boy; fantastically enlightened Hebrew/Judean, one of Yahs kids; who had a major Kaundaliene(sp?)/ray ma/enlightenment from GOD…. Paul/Sual never was a “Christian”, neither was Jesus… (real name closer to Yeshua)…. the NEW TESTIMENT SCRIPTURES were hijacked from the Old Scriptures (Old scriptures conceiled new & new reveiled the old) & these early “Christians” were not “Christians” nor were they “Jews” aka “Khazarian Zionist” either…
They were Judeians/Hebrews-the one & only GODs kids; more correctly known as Messianic Believers; aka loosly translated “Jews 4 Jesus”… wish the “Born Again s” would get this…. they “never honor” & keep violating the 4th of the 10 Comandments…. in ignorance,
No matter how intelligent/smart.
(they really R ignorant of the GODs definition & instructions of the Sabbath….the pagan Catholic Pope/Roman Gov. changed it approx 300-330AD/Council of Nicaea BS/deception 7 cover up of TRUTH)
NO WONDER THESE “CHRISTIAN” DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS…. haven’t a clue on finances!!!
The 13 dead guys very much supports of the financial laws in Torah…ie after 7 years debits forgiving…
Torah is the root of correct welfare & proper financial structure… & Paul was delineating such in the new testament scriptures!
Ian thanks for the consideration of such!
No wonder the world hates the “Jews”/”Zionist”… no wonder Hitler wanted to kill those dammed vermin decedents of the “Khazarian Jews-Zionist” they really do twist GOD WORDs into bondage & financial slavery.
Catholic “Black Popes” of the Jesuit Order & the “White smiley Popes in the Pope mobile” convinced Hitler that ALL were “JEWs”….
However not ALL HEBREWS/JUDEIANS R greedy, money-fame-power-ego; the god(s) of “Khazarian Zionist” aka “JEWS, Christians, Muslims, Buddhism etc”. who R of the “secret Societies” that….
John F. Kennedy & Eisenhower, Lincoln, Garfield, Congressman McFadden & others tried to warn us about “them” the very few/powerful deliberate deceivers of Luciferian agendas….
Research this out it will blow your mind & the lid off who the secret society members R how they deceive & minupulate the sheeple & otherwise good, God fearing, intellengent (but ignorant) Congress & USA citizens & other world wide sheeple.
MB grandfather called them those
“GOD DAMMED EUROPEAN BANKERS”!
aka sheep in wolves clothing.
