Ну что за хуйня http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/publicat http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/publicat CAPITALISM AND CHRISTIANITY Christians whose politics favor government over the private sector can point to the Acts of the Apostles, Books 4 and 5, which describe how in the early Christian church, "not a man of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything was held in common."45 The Acts even describe how God struck dead two church members who conspired to conceal some of their wealth from church leaders.46 Is this an endorsement of socialism? These passages from the New Testament describe a commu- nism of consumption but not of production. This approach was typical of religious cults of the time. Ever y member of the early church was expected to earn a living in the private sector. Jesus never condemned private property or those who owned it. Indeed, how could He while calling charity the highest of the virtues? As a Russian philosopher once observed, Christians exhort their followers to give away their own wealth, whereas socialists call for seizing the wealth of others for redistribution.47 The apostle Paul, whom many theologians credit (or charge, depending on their views on organized religion) with transform- ing Christianity from a Jewish sect into a religion that spread worldwide with unparalleled speed, campaigned tirelessly to attract men with property, particularly freed slaves who had endured the experience of being denied legal possession of prop- erty.48 Paul's Gospel, delivered in an era when as many as seven out of ten Romans were slaves, is filled with references to free- dom: "For freedom, Christ has set us free," " Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom," and we glory in the "liberty of the children of God."49 Members of Paul's circle of converts and leaders, according to a leading Paulian scholar, were "upwardly mobile; their achieved status is higher than their attributed status."50 Because of its anti- authoritarian message, early Christianity was more at peace with the institutions of the secular world--especially property, trade, and wealth--than were the religions it supplanted.51 " The early Christian church accepted private property as a fact of life and concentrated on exhorting the faithful to engage in charity to the maximum extent possible..." %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Иудо-христианство равно капитализму, это явления абсолютно тождественные. Без иудо-христианства (включая, конечно, же, самую пакостную форму - ислам) капитализм просто невозможен. Такие дела Миша Добавить комментарий: |
