Communism and Christianity
I always wondered why did the concept of communism did not appear for such a long time. But then I found it right in the Bible Acts 4:31 - 4:37. It is a great irony that Communist states are atheist and here in Democracy many of us are theists.
On a side note I realized why the Church was against the world being round because the Bible says it has four corners. Revelations 7:1. Another thing I realized arguing with theists, is like trying to convince someone smoking is wrong. 30 years after when they are six feet under they realize you were right but before that they are hooked.

Some writers see close links between Christianity and Communism, in their authoritarianism, their teleological view of history, and so forth.

I believe the Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, NOT English. What is the definition of the word translated into “corner”. That is were you should start your argument. --- Four Rush Limbaugh wanna-be’s who are Atheists. God Help Us. |

Just so you know, communism and democracy are not opposites. It is capitalism that is the opposite of communism. |
