Why would I want to do a thing like that? I am indifferent to what version of Christianity one wishes to embrace. The Testaments are rather unequivocal; I'm just trying to avoid the tedious task of looking the relevant parts up...

Perhaps for the same reason that one would consult a Cardiologist if one were having a heart attack rather than looking up the procedure for catheterization.

"The fundamental error of socialism is anthropological in nature. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good or evil. Man is reduced to a series of social relationships, and the concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decisions disappears." Pope John Paul II
