God Versus Socialism

[ngogo70]

I am amazed of Mr. McDurmon's lack of interest to define something he is going to prove is contradicting the bible. one cannot clump together the way France is governed now and the way Hitler was ruling Germany or to put together Italian Fascism with Stalin's Socialism. while I totally agree that the bible does not teach socialism it does not teach the capitalism of contemporary america nor the cult to individualism. this is for Rand's totally atheistic philosophy.

[MrJihadJesus]

You fucking idiots, Jesus was a socialist. ........Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”Mark Chapter 10:21-25

But then again, ANY point of view can be proven with bible verses.

Socialism is Basically an economic system not really a political system

[Cryptologist101]

There are people on YouTube that think anarchy is good I've seen their videos, and here we have people saying that socialism is good too. Really? Then why is it that many European nations are trying to back out of the socialist policies. Socialism is devoid of the understanding of human nature and natural law. Do yourself a favor read "Lord of the flies" and "Animal Farm." Don't be fooled by socialist snake oil salesman.

[Shamaleeon]

@Cryptologist101 Do yourself a favour and don't base your opinions on social and economic theory on fictional stories. Why don't you try reading some Marx? Or study some European history. You might end up a less ignorant person. You're the kind of ignorant person who thinks that "communism simply doesn't work", because it failed in russia. There has never been a truely communist nation... communism involves a revolution by the working class, who implement it themselves. Read some Marx. Please.

[SeanG200]

Michael Medved uses the term (to replace socialism,Marxism, democratic socialism, Communism, and the like) as "statism," or, "statist."

If right wing bible bashing is so popular in the USA why is your country so fucked up. Its idiots like you that give most of the world reason to either hate or laugh at America. Everbody knows USA real obsessions in the world are guns and money not love and peace. U cant give up all ur $ and all ur power and all ur guns. No wonder the USA is the richest country in the world with greatest amount of crime, obesity and psychological problems. What a twisted take on christianity you have.

[BereanJames]

@pjmceltic67 Our country is the way it is because most of the people in this country do not actually follow the God of the Bible. Most Americans a hundred years ago were isolationists and were not fat, psychotic criminals. Socialism, elitist bankers, and anti-Christian values are what have made this country a laughing stock among the nations.

[Cryptologist101]

@pjmceltic67 Somebody from the UK that thinks they know what they're talking about when it comes to what is going on in America, America lost its Christian heritage and now has an established religion by the liberal/progressives of secular humanism. Since you have little regard for your right to keep and bear arms where you are you will always be a "subject" or more accurate a slave. You think that America is the richest country? we are a debtor nation thanks to socialist policies.

[Felrika]

Go wikipedia socialism. It's not nearly as bad as you think it is.

[atheistATTACK]

"A camel going through the head of a needle has the same chance of rich man going to heaven"-

Some guy named Jesus.

Not the greatest endorsement of free market capitalism.

[EasyEs]

@atheistATTACK Jesus isn't against wealth just loving wealth more then your fellow man. He was kinda against theft and the tax collectors to there hot shot. While we are at it he was against the false promise of utopia.

[BereanJames]

@atheistATTACK Jesus said nothing against capitalism in that statement. He was commenting on the love of money in the hearts of the merchants he was just talking to. There was no condemnation of money, just the love of money. Be careful that you do not put into an interpretation what isn't there in the first place. Read and understand the text as it is written.

excellent video!

thank you!

[DrStevenz]

A good video to play in front of my students. Thumbs up.

[BarzOnTheWindow1]

Small details aside: YES, I believe in God (GASP!) and when I die, my Lord is going to call out MY NAME. -Not group A or group B, or C (which is the seeming essence of Socialism) -just ME. I will stand there ALONE having to account for MY deeds. He is not going to care about what, "we," or "they,' did. So I chose to love that way as well. You may not feel the same but I will not FORCE you to go along! Socialism doesn't give you such options so I REJECT IT!

[agfigueroaa]

1. The better example is found in the Gospels: Jesus paid taxes.

2. This man, unfortunately, does not have a honest definition of socialism as aforementioned by Stinky95030.

3. While there is evidence that the bible supports Bible property, it is also true that Jesus tolds us to get rid of everything and follow him. Ergo, why do we need private property as Christians?

[agfigueroaa]

@agfigueroaa 4. The Bible is not a political book, and Jesus did not have a political agenda. WE should not have it too. The contrary comes from the devil.

[Stinky95030]

way to go interviewer guy! way to impartially and critically interview, all u did was kiss this so-called author's butt for x minutes.

[Stinky95030]

this idiot is confusing socialism with communism. he is also confusing it with totalitarian government. omg this is so funny what fool he is making of himself getting such a basic thing wrong.

[Stinky95030]

socialism is shared resources owned by the public which is the state like

libraries ! ever been to one commie!

similarly so also are church owned resources

cash donations dispersed by the church

oh you religious people how amazing all that u say is right and anyone who does not agree is wrong! pulease! keep dreaming.
