You might want to look at albionin’s posting history, he is a full time troll.
I’m not trolling. I am simply asking questions. I have not been rude to anyone. I have not attacked anyone personally. I am willing to admit I don’t know everything and I’m willing to change my mind. I am simply asking how could Jesus be opposed to Socialism when he agrees with and supports the fundamental principle that justifies it; self sacrifice for the good of others. That is all I am discussing. I have not discussed politics. I have not discussed the existence of God. I want to know how Jesus can oppose Socialism or the control of people by the threat of physical coercion when he advocates the moral premise which underlies it and justifies it. Every dictatorship in history has relied on this moral premise to justify its actions. People seem to be saying that it’s OK for God to do it because he knows best. Well that is exactly what every tyrant says, that he knows best. People keep trying to shift the discussion to the benefits offered and I want to know how the two systems are different IN PRINCIPAL. So far no one has done that.
