1. Respect for private property is not what that Psalm is about. It is about idolatry.
2. Obviously, many capitalists are motivated by greed, which is idolatry.
3. I'm a Christian. Market economics is not Christianity. The values which drive capitalism are often antithetical to Christianity.
4. That said, the laws of economics are simply the empirical observations of how an economy functions to most efficiently allocate resources. What end that allocation is directed toward is a value judgement, outside economics and outside politics, in the religious life of that society. Our society is secular and materialistic.
5. Governments do not create or control values. They express values.
6. Any attempt by government to implant a value in the economic system which is not a value of the people prior to law will be circumvented by the population at large.
7. The American people are at a unique schizophrenic point in their history, when they, as owners (read: anyone with retirement funds) want corporate profits maximized yet as displaced workers they rail against maximizing corporate profits.
8. In any society not explicitly formed around religious values, profit will win. Always. It is an inexorable force because it is the gateway to all the vices.
9. America is not now organized around any religious value.
10. America will outsource jobs. Period.
The antithesis of capitalism is communism, so you are saying Christians are communists? Not trying to start a fight here, but that comment has logical holes big enough to drive a mac truck through. It just doesn't jive with the rest of your post. Am I reading it wrong?
