Capitalism wasnt around in biblical times, and jesus couldnt see the future. He actually said nothing about capitalism. Nice try though.

all liberals support a form of taxation, there is no other way around it, if you do not support some form of taxation you're either an anarchist or a full blown communist or something of that vein. Neither of which are 'liberals' in modern american terms.
Which are supported by theft which jesus condemns...
I actually don't give two shits about the bible they brought it up and I merely pointed out that jesus doesnt condone theft and they're trying to justify theft biblically, nor the constitution. I'm an atheist and an anarchist.
for more on the constitution read No Treason 6: The Constitution of No Authority
or listen to…
poverty was decreasing until the great society.
as for the great depression being caused by a lack of regulation. that's adorable.
Not all libertarians are objectivists and ayn's books suck and shes a terrible libertarian.
So then I assume you be be a devotee of The Book Of Hobbes, Leviathan? It seems to be regarded as the most holiest journal of the one true savior of mankind, if we to believe the statists...
no hold on....
So then I assume you be…
you actually did, you haven't explained why you think it is biblicaly justified to steal from people to give to the needy.
I'm not a troll btw
I am absolutely 100% right in saying there is disagreement about the meaning of certain passages of the bible.
to assert otherwise is to be insane.
Also 'rend unto caesar what is caesars' when caesar doesn't own anything would mean... thats right not paying taxes.
i've read them a few times, nothing addresses the fact that you are using jesus to advocate theft.
Well I don't see it anywhere, could you be kind enough to copy paste where you did so or to restate it for me?
Poverty was decreasing by 1-2% a year until the state stepped in. Now it stagnates.
very few people actually starved before food stamps, state run 'charity' actually reduces private charity because people assume it's being taken care of.
Also america is the most generous nation on the planet.
As for the 'jesus said to…
no, i'm pretty sure jesus explicitly stated you have to follow all the laws of the old testament.
for instance luke 18:18-19
someone asks jesus how to get to heaven, jesus says follow the 10 commandments, not only that but explicitly says do not steal.
OR even better how about matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I have…
a copy paste of where you addressed it would be nice.
yes and if you knew anything about the subject you would know there is a lot of debate about this passage.
but i'll just copy paste my post from earlier today.
yup it also says do not steal, the bible is full of contradictions, But I'm pretty sure the 10 commandments are more important to Christians than one verse in…
where at...
yup it also says do not steal, the bible is full of contradictions, But I'm pretty sure the 10 commandments are more important to Christians than one verse in one book of the new testament.
not to mention context, the passage clearly states the people asking him about taxes have come to 'trap' him.
and another point,…
actually you havent.
your first post was asking if i was sarcastic
your second post was talking about how lots of people care about what jesus thinks
your third post was about how Wikipedia isn't a source.
your fourth was bitching about how mean and sad it is that people say mean things about your religion.
your fifth…
as if it's my fault the government monopolized those services by force.
it's like if I came to your house and washed your car without asking you and charged you $1,000. And if you bitch about this terrible set up some idiot comes along and says "lol but your car is clean right?"
hint: you're that idiot.
You have yet to say a word about it.
How can you justify theft in Jesus's name?
