Back to Truths:
AP Article:
--- 43% of people who say they don't belong a recognized religion still believe in God (although tends to be a god of their own picking)
---2/3 of atheists are men. 52% are women
---Atheists tend to be white
---2/3 of atheists are Democrats. Half of those who believe in God (but not any God that's revealed himself) are Democrats
I think there's some good that the country is becoming less religious: It purges the non-believers out of churches so God's Truths prevail. A lot of people think God routinely ordains purges to clean out false teachers & false converts who blasphem his word. I like this: Most of the time when a church closes, it's b/c it was teaching heresies or strayed too far from the Truth.
I always say that more women identify as religious b/c older widows from more religous generations skew that number, but always get presnted w/ stats here that's wrong: it's true in all generations.....I think the truth is the evils atheistic men do actually push women to religion........
If anyone says 'Christian is a white man's religion': couldn't be more wrong. Atheists more likely to be white men
I think that 2/3 of atheists as Democrats shows the reason religious people walking away from the Democrats isn't due to race like what they say, but b/c they're run by pagans (they will argue this to the death saying how their leaders identify as Christians......I s/ say a large chunk of their voting block & who they therefore elect is run by pagans)
So go water the seeds! The sewer has sewn them!

They try to argue the 'system is too hard' so people 'can't work' so socialism is taking care of those kinds of people. I don't agree w/ that. I think you are right: it fosters a lot of bad attitudes & therefore bad actions. Now I just want to repeat everything else you're saying. You said it right!
I will add this: the easiest way to replicate what the early church was doing is using the family. Why?
1.) It's based out of love not obligation. The parent passes their love to the child, the child passes their love back. It's not based on law. Fosters good attitudes & actions
2.) It limits who your are responsible for so you're not trying to solve everyone's problems. You know exactly the person's needs & how they will respond to them
Problems to this:
1.) Some parents want to help the child but the child refuses to obey, so the parents says 'no help then'
2.) Some parents do not want to help. They didn't have help so don't think the child s/
3.) I say parents. Most people don't have 2 parents involved. It's just 1 parent. The parents try to rush things & it only hurts the child. The 1 parent struggles w/ resources to do this. Passes their problems on to the child
I see all 3 of those problems all the time & it's hearbreaking (more of that 'parent passes their problems to the child' thing we were talking about), but when it works well, it's beautiful......& is how I believe God intended it in the Original Creation.
The Gospel!!! : If you had a problem like 1, 2, or 3, God can use your situation for good! You're not a victim. You're not doomed on Earth! 'You meant for evil against me, but God used it for good!" - Genesis 50
God is well-aware of our hardships, & being good, is able to use those for our good. May not be how we want it, but rather, how we need it. He is bigger than hardships b/c he ordains them. He makes all things new! He returns them to the original creation!!

Great post!!!!The US and Canada both have huge issues. I'm not trying to say that there aren't issues with capitalism. There are. It's truly impossible for fallen humans to develop any fair economic system since corruption and greed are so prevalent. I've just noticed the dangerous mindset that many have of ceding their rights to a corrupt government in return for more programs, support, etc. They are in essence giving up control of their freedoms as well. That's certainly not the answer. Socialism has many pitfalls.
I also don't see it as the "Christian" model of government. Socialism actually fosters a lot of apathy, jealousy, and lack of initiative. Paul admonishes Christians to work in Thessalonians. If anyone doesn't work he shouldn't eat. So the most ideal form of an economy would be that everyone worked hard and took care of each other. That no individual is being lazy or taking advantage of others. Christians actually aren't obligated to support others who refuse to work. However we are obligated to love and support others who can't work or support themselves.
There's no economic system that can instill that kind of love and concern for each other. Capitalism and socialism both fail.
My initial reason for posting today was to remind everyone that we live in a fallen world and that hardships are inescapable. Every generation has to face hardships. We should focus on Christ and not blame others for our problems.
