Good post.

This one needs to be in bold:

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

I'm not a church-going person for the simple reason that most I have visited are nothing more than social(ist) clubs. The Gospel is usually pretty watered-down, in favor of PC teachings.

It's also important to note that the first plank in the CP's platform is the elimination of all private property. Is there any of that going on here?

your idea is a very valid one, and you probably do not know how it parallels the work of karl marx.let's take a look.

fact: life is unfair and people, while created in the likeness of god, have different lots in life. st. paul acknowledged as much and tells us to be content whatever our circumstances, whether as slave or master.

communist belief: the inequality in life is not man's fault since he is created in god's likeness. it therefore must be a problem with society. so society must be changes to create a fairness for all.

unfortunately, this is biblically wrong. there is inequality because of sin, and sin is the direct result of man's disobedience. man is at fault and has to live with the consequences of his actions. communism is a theologically incorrect, and hence inherently flawed, form of society.

i could go further and preach about the parable of the talents that further demonstrates that capital is to be utilized to creat wealth, but enough religion for one night.
