It's time to move beyond capitalism in all it's perverted forms - communism and socialism included. There shouldn't be elites owning and controlling all the world's resources - especially at expense of people dying en mass because of greed and hoarding of goods. There's plenty to go around contrary to what the controlled corporate media would have us believe. Their lies are to be expected. The same global elites that own the media also own other major corporations ranging in agricultural production,publishing companies,oil,natural gas,transportation,medical,and etc.
You gotta ask yourself; how well has capitalism served you? How well is it serving mankind in general? Does it take the world's ecosystem into consideration? I think we can all agree that something is seriously wrong. The rich continue to get richer while the poor get poorer - leaving the middle class virtually non-existent. Do you honestly believe this is a coincidence?
Totally awesome! I loved it. I can't wait until you get your DVD in the mail and I can come over and watch it on the big screen. Invite a few others over. We'll kick back chomp on some pop corn and totally immerse ourselves in the ideals of the Zeitgeist Movement.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me!!
ReplyDeleteCapitalism is what made this country what it is. You people make me sick. You're anti American and that makes you anti God in my book.
ReplyDeleteSo Fred, you're saying that I'm not a "real" Christian just because I'm not some fundie nut job like you? Get a grip dude.
ReplyDeletelol You tell him Ricky!
ReplyDeleteThat's right Mr.Rickster. You're not a Christian and if you don't repent and accept the REAL Jesus into your heart then you're heading straight to Hell where you belong.
ReplyDeleteDear Fred,
ReplyDeleteI admire you for your religious faith, but I fear you may have forgotten the real teachings of Jesus. Here are a few verses that may be of interest to you:
"The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:31 New International Version
" Do to others as you would have them do to you."
Luke 6:31 New International Version
"But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without
expecting to get anything back.Then your reward will be great, and you
will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked."
Luke 6:35 New International Version
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
Ephesians 4:2 New International Version
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
1 John 4:7 New International Version
I am sorry that you have fallen so far from the vision that Jesus had for his followers. I hope this helps. :)
Great post, Ben! I have been anticipating the release of this dvd, though I haven't seen it yet, and I am looking forward to watching it! Capitalism is unfortunately a system that often leaves the underprivileged behind, but there are many people who fear change and do not want to open their minds to other systems that may be more effective for our country. If you haven't seen Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore, you should check it out. I think that you would appreciate it as well. :)
ReplyDeleteNikki,I agree. As for change - people are afraid of anything new and it's understandable. It can be quite scary BUT what we currently have now is no longer working. Somethings gotta give. I've seen that Michael Moore documentary. It was good. I saw it on the big screen and it was time well spent.
ReplyDelete:D
Hell isn't going to be some party. It's a place of eternal torment. Repent now sinners while you still can. God will not be mocked!
ReplyDeleteMatthew 13:42: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Hey there fundie Fred! I got news fer ya! God ain't a jack ass BUT you are! lol You're gonna be surprise by who makes it to heaven and who doesn't. Get a grip dude. You're not playing with a full deck.
ReplyDeleteOnly true fundamentalist Christians will be in heaven with me and my Lord. Get that bub? You ain't gonna be there. I'm gonna enjoy watching people like your screaming and gnashing your teeth while begging for the Lord for forgiveness. It'll be too late. Once you're in Hell there's no way out.
ReplyDelete"I'm gonna enjoy watching people like your screaming and gnashing your teeth while begging for the Lord for forgiveness."
ReplyDeleteWow.
Fred, you sound like a spokesperson for the Taliban.
