Well, Wilmac, that's the beauty of the Bible. You're going to interpret it the way you want to just like I will and you know what... everyone one in this world that can think for themselves will all have a different opinion on the message the Bible is trying to get across. If you know for a fact what God is saying, please prove it to me now because that mean's Jesus has come for us and you are him.

If you search the interent now, you'll find great research and opinons supporting both sides. Why is that? I believe it's because Jesus was BOTH a socialist and capitalist. However, I think people like you will fail to look outside of the box and read what you want to read. You all feel it has to be one way or the other and there's no room for in between.

Let me ask you this... there are 3 other major topics (besides the whole money thing) that politcs and religion clash on. What would Jesus support on the following topics:

1) abortion
2) homosexuality (the sin, not the person)
3) death penalty

There is a reason why more Christians side with the conservatives over the liberals. That's up to you to figure out why. Remember, it's the liberals that are taking "God" out of The Pledge, removing the Ten Commandments, etc... yeah, what great Christian-like acts.
