We are in trouble America! In an interview with CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, conservative Pat Robertson said he was "remarkably pleased" with President-elect Barack Obama. Sadly, millions of followers of Robertson's The 700 Club are likely to support an immoral, abortionist, gay-friendly, anti-American Communist U.S. President. This is just another clear indicator that Pat Robertson is of the Devil, a false prophet masquerading as a preacher of the Gospel. Robertson has publicly approved of Communist Barack Obama and the Socialist government Obama has vowed to set-up...

I can assured tell you that Pat Robertson's god is NOT the God of the Bible, because Socialism and Communism are diametrically opposed to the Word of God. The Bible teaches Capitalism

The Bible teaches Capitalism

It sure does.

Jesus on Keeping Your Hands Off My Stack: "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell an IPO in the company that thou hast, and buy a mega-yacht and a beach house in the Caymans, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me".

Jesus on Equitable Tax Burden: "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast in a farthing. While all those rich guys got soaked for a mint by these damn liberal tax-and-spend socialists, she got off for a lousy farthing!"

Jesus on Heaven for the Rich: "And he lifted up his eyes on his shareholders, and said, Screw the poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Jesus on Sharing: "But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and tell them to go to the soup kitchen for the leftovers tomorrow.

Actually, Capitalism can really only trace its roots back to the year 1776, when Adam Smith published Wealth of Nations. Even a young earth creationist would have to agree that the Bible pre-dates capitalism.

I think capitalism's a lot older than Smith; that's just a formal recognition of its existence. The thing is that capitalism isn't precisely a system that somebody sat down one day and devised, it's just what tends to evolve where no other system has been imposed. Plenty of variants exist which have been partially systemised by deliberate, considered additions, but I don't think anybody really invented the core ideas, they're just an emergent pattern that's gradually evolved over centuries, and to try and attribute their dawn to any single date is as meaningless as trying to define the year the human species began to exist.

The distant, remote shores of godland where you live remain as isolated from the rest of reality and normality as ever I see.

A fabulous and powerful white-skinned, imaginary, entity of questionable morals does guide you daily in a litany of hate and despair and lets you plummet further down in to your own private hell. To make matters infinitely more terrifying, the imaginary being is yourself.

Alas, so far ensconced are you already in this never ending wasteland of hellish dimensions that your retrieval seems very unlikely. Your strident voice is now unrecognizable as that of a human being but screeches like a disembodied, tormented soul begging for release.

How much longer must you endure this evil torture? How may you carry on enduring your pitiful self? I am afraid that the discomfort and awful knowledge of your horrendous existence will only be ended on the day that you die. Then there will be no more awareness, and at last you can sleep eternally in blessed peace.

Performing (long overdue) reconnaissance, this is the full of the last sentence in the quoted portion:

"The Bible teaches Capitalism, i.e., if any would not work, neither should he eat (2nd Thessalonians 3:10)."

...That's capitalism? It's a bit more complex than THAT, yes?

Besides which, here's more of the flanking chapter...

6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
