Christianity- die to self and give everything to help the poor and needy.

If you are calling paying taxes "stealing from the blessed", 1. Do not respond to my post please and 2. You should be a republican campaign manager. "render to Cesar what is Cesars." Basically translates pay your taxes bro. And who is asking you to give what isn't yours? How would you? And please honor my request to not respond at all if it is fitting.

These pastors,in the eyes of God,are worse than terrorists.
The only unpardonable sin is those who know God and blaspheme Him for their own gain.
Pride is the most dangerous of sins.
As a Christian, these churches sicken me to the core. Preying on innocent people in the name of God. HOW dare they?
Tithing is not doctrine preached by Jesus. He said you should give of your heart, willingly, and that your reward would be found in Heaven...not on earth. You cannot buy a miracle.
Props to John Oliver for this.

No, just No. Capitalism is clearly defined as an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned. Free market capitalism is based upon the non-aggression principle, which is a value Jesus clearly lived by. The non-aggression principle is a value that finds it immoral to take aggression onto anther person with the exception of direct self defense. Although given that Jesus was a pacifist, he wouldn't even make that exception.
Also, Capitlaism does not equal greed. Capitalism gives people the choice to be greedy with their profits. I personally see Capitalism as the exploitation of human greed for the benefit of all.

1. Not once did I label all taxation as theft. What I identify as theft, is excessive taxation for the sole purpose of transferring wealth from one group of people to another.
2. 95% of Republicans aren't Capitalists. Bailing out banks and corporate welfare is NOT capitalism, its Crony Capitalism and its the cause of the wealth inequality on this country.
