And how is it low using Jesus's own words? Does it scare you that he said that it's hard for the rich to get into heaven? Does that make your conservative mind race with fear? In my searching for those quotes, I never heard Jesus say 'Keep your money to yourself,' or 'privatize and deregulate everything,' or 'survival of the fittest.'

What I heard him say was give everything you have to the poor. To ME, that sounds like socialist philosophy.

You conservatives have to get over this fear you have of socialism. Socialism is much different than the Marxist-Communist philosophy of Soviet Russia. Socialism puts everyone on an even footing. The Communists took this philosophy, and took away the freedom of religion, and yes, millions died in Russia for their beliefs. But that is NOT socialist philosophy.

I changed my mind. You're not misguided. You're an ostrich that buries his head in the sand when he's scared of an intelligent argument.

Any five year old can call names. It takes a grown up to debate.
I give money to local charitable organizations every year. Do you give anything?

Plus you never answered the question. Do you believe in Jesus seeing that you quote him freely in an attempt to serve your own purpose?

There is a huge difference from giving to the poor and having a socialist government take your money. I think you are disturbed for seeing these words that way.

Socialism does not put everyone on an even footing. It destroys the human spirit and puts limits on freedom and achievement.

The whole idea and concept of America was everyone is on an even footing and treated equally in the eyes of the law. Anyone can be successful in America. All you have to do is work hard and take advantage of the oppurtunities the country has to offer. You can become a millioniare or a lazy deadbeat. The choice is up to the individual in America. That's freedom. I feel sorry for you because you don't understand that. I know immigrants who understand this very clearly and the sad thing is you were born here.

If you love communism and socialism so much.... There are a number of workers paradises around the globe that you can freely move to. Why stay here and complain about our system if it sucks that much?

You are the one who is misguided, not I. I'm here debating you. I feel sorry for you actually.
