Jesus had way more Socialist leanings than Capitalist ones. he never got payed for anything he did, he happily lived an almost possesionless life of giving freely of himself to others, asking nothing in return. and not forcing his views on anyone, but OFFERING them to those wanting to listen.

he was very NON-authoritarian. his purpose on earth had nothing to do with teaching people howto manage their stocks. i remember a rich little capitalist comming to jesus wanting to join him, and to test his conviction jesus told him to give up all his capital. i also remember the laws that the ancient jews had about loans not lasting more than 7 years, and the inability to sell land (it too reverted back to it's original owner after 7 years).

as with others, i find your shortsightedness beyond the borders of your country a little disturbing, it's definitely nothing to proudly announce when you are trying to convince others of the superiority of your subscribed ecconomic (or was it religious? it was hard to tell apart) dogma.

a good hint on howto talk with Foreigners Humans is to not tack "god bless america!" on the end of things. it shows your ignorance to the greater (ooooh yes, it is bigger than you think) world outside of your borders.

(FFS *throws a private cute little tantrum*)

uh, welcome to the internet earth?
(yikes, why do i get so bitey in these situations??)

As I said, my goal is to help America. America is not the whole globe. I am aware of that. :)

Secondly, Jesus set an example to people not the government. The people must provide for each other and love each other. The job of the government is not to provide but to protect people from enemies and uphold justice. Jesus talked to the people not to government officials.
