Youzers! Why did you have to go and kill my respect for GW Bush?

I guess you can but it is not logical. A Christian believes mans perfection will never be attained here on earth. Socialism makes the state the chief Deity and teaches that man can, through social engineering, create paradise on earth. In fact capitalism/republicanism is the perfect ally in Christian thinking. It acknowledges man's inherent evil nature. No man can be trusted with absolute power, therefore we create a republic to limit the power of our leaders.

So yes, I guess I have to accept that a movement exists to ally the two notions, but common sense should easily show Christianity and socialism are not compatible. I suppose Christians have latched onto other secular movements that are contrary to the faith - pacifism and environmentalism.
