[QUOTE="Adstar, post: 71384647, member: 110709"] Well there is a similarity between Christianity and Communism. They are at their core idealistic. It's just that the Faith / Trust people need in the two different systems is placed in a different area.. In Communism Faith must be placed in oneself and ones fellow men... Since Communism is an idealistic system to succeed it needs perfect people who will not be corrupt or lazy or greedy or many other negative human traits that will see any attempted implementation of communism fail .. Like it has everywhere it has been tried.. So Communism fails because faith placed in human beings is needed for Communism to succeed.. In Christianity Faith is placed in God... And the success is looked forward to in the Next life.. Or as i usually say Eternity... So living in this faulty world to a Christian is a temporary thing.. I don't need to have faith in any other human being to be at peace being a Christian.. I do not need to listen to any pope pastor preacher or prelate.. I can have the Bible and read the message contained within. As a Christian i can stand alone.. And i often do in this forum on some religious doctrine matters.. As a Christian i am not here to work to create some idealistic religious nirvana on earth in my life or society.. Success and failure is dependent on God not on me or other human beings.. Yes it is good to do good deeds and help others and try to make this world as good a place as one can... But i am not called upon by God to make this world good... I am called upon to Believe Jesus and trust in the Way God has made for me to be saved from the outcome of my faultiness.. Anyway i am off to bed.. It's late here in Australia.. So a good night to you Red Economist.. [/QUOTE]
