It’s an interesting thought. And, by the way, they never succeeded. Christianity lived on in Russia even under the depravities of Stalin.
Though if the the Communists had embraced Christianity they never could have done the atrocities they committed. Shooting, starving millions of people. Not very Christian.
As an economist my view on Jesus... He IS God. It’s silly to take him on anyone’s side in economic debates. I guess he was a non-materialist though.
So in that way opposed to both Marxists and avid capitalists.
Though as Jesus said, if you follow him and stop praying to the false god of materialism, you will be amply taken care of :D
Good points.
If the church had been doing it’s Biblical job . . . the welfare entitlements program of the government would have never been needed nor wanted.
