So do you think communism is problematic? Although they are becoming more capitalistic.No, I don't think capitalism is evil, I think unbridled, runaway capitalism is deeply problematic. Only someone living in a comfort which appears to be without cost could possibly think otherwise.
What do you expect? If you talk about God to a Christian, then they will quote the bible.

With suffering being around, we can conclude that God doesn´t do anything effective to remove it.
This is the sort of thinking of people that do not understand just how important the Bible is. True God does not expect much from who little is given, still they will be accountable. The true sons of God do receive more discipline. This is still all based on His love: "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline," Rev 3:19 "But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48the Bible is as meaningful to the non-Christian as the Koran is to the Christian. ie, not even a tiny bit. your affection for Jesus does not determine this matter. it's frankly bizarrro that you seem to think it does.
China is filled with a lot of mom pop shops that you just do not see in American anymore because Walmart put them out of business.what do you mean by communists are becoming more capitalist? if communists are behaving like capitalists, then they're not communists.
He must work through us to some degree.God cannot directly change our world. He must work through Spirit.
There is only one God.

How do I know that God is good? Let us consider for a moment the Universe and the mechanics of the earth. Consider how in our solar system, everything has a distinct pattern. Science would say that is gravity and they would be correct, but how was gravity created? Furthermore, on earth life exists because there is oxygen in the air, plenty of sunshine, food, and water. Such things do not come to be just out of chance. There had to be something or someone who set it all in motion. I believe that someone is God. Now since God created all that I have mentioned and we can agree that everything that is provided on the earth is good for us, since we would not exist without them, then I can believe that God is inheritantly good just by looking at all that He had created.How do you know?
I wasted my life on drugs. Such a waste. Years and years just wasted for nothing. Thats not living, that's dying. I also have very difficult things i must live with, things most people wil never have to face. Without faith in the Lord, i dont see how i could be happy. He makes me happy. He fills that void in my heart. You can say that i can be happy without him, but i know different. I know the suffering i brought on myself was more than a person can endure alone. Thats the truth. I have seen people kill themselves over less than i must live with. Jesus Christ is my everything.
Have you ever thought that perhaps you have replaced one addiction with another?
I never claimed to be perfect. You only reinforce my argument more.
Nor did I accuse you of such. I merely draw to your attention that many people who have had problems with addictions of various kinds will frequently translate that dependence to some other addictive behaviour.
It is possible that your devotion to 'faith' fits that bill.
Actually, the percentage of Christians in American prisons is quite high. Higher than the broader population if memory serves.
ah, yeah. that's two thirds of humanity.
and Christians just don't understand how important the Koran is, and norse mythology.
