Classes aren't a problem. Class stratification to the extent that distribution of wealth is up to or greater than it was before the Great Depression and attitudes regarding the upper class and lower class is similar to Victorian England at best and Dark Ages feudalism at worse is.

Marcus Aurelius: It's not the classes that are immoral. It's the relentless farking over of the less empowered classes that's the problem.

No no no no no. It's god's will that they get farked over, so by farking them over as much as possible, the more empowered get more godly. See, money and shiat are a REWARD for being godly, so whatever you do to get them, it's cool.

NFA: FTFA- "Being on the left means that you divide the world between rich and poor much more than you divide it between good and evil. For the leftist, the existence of rich and poor - inequality - is what constitutes evil."

This writer has aligned himself with a belief system based solely on exaggerated stereotype. He shows a gross misunderstanding of that being a modern politically left oriented American is all about. While I'm personally not a liberal, I know many liberals and have spent a great amount of time discussing what their views are and what they would like to see changed in America. What the write says in this article about American liberals is completely wrong and borders on blatant propaganda.

This is far too reasonable and well thought out for Fark. This is a new form of trolling isn't it? Before it was to post the most ridiculous thing you possibly can, the new wave is going to be the most reasonable thing you can possibly say, isn't it?

Bring back the Sale of Indulgences!

And thus, only the rich should be allowed a higher education. Good to see you owning up to your classism.

I know that Jesus warns me against judgment of others, and I hate to say who is a "real Christian" and who isn't because we can all point fingers at one another. That said, you cannot possibly be a devout adherent of Christianity AND be okay with the economic system that the United States government supports. Hell, every time I buy a video game instead of giving that money to someone less fortunate than me, I fail hard at Christianity. I can't imagine taking home eighty times the pay of my workers who are just scraping to get by.

Remember, Jesus only got violent once, and that was with the money lenders.

The funny thing is that Jesus AND Jefferson (for those not inclined to Christianity) both mistrusted the shady moneylenders, and yet somehow the American right-wing claims both of those guys as their own.

Agreed. Fark those morans who seek to rise above their financial station! The world needs ditchdiggers after all, amirite?

No need for fancy explanations why the article is derp. The NRO label is all the explanation you need.

24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Well, man did create god in his own image after all.

RexTalionis: 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

But hey, at least they have camels.

GAT_00: Indeed. I too remember Jesus lecturing on the greatness of capitalism. I can't remember though, is that before or after he opened up a can of whoopass on bankers for being greedy whores?

It was sometime afterwards. He had a troubled youth. He also preached help for the poor, loving your neighbor and forgiveness in his early days. It wasn't until much later he revealed to us he meant for helping the poor to be voluntary only, it was cool to love your neighbor with bombs and that capitalism is what God truly wants.

Presumably that stuff was in the back of the bible, I never read that far.

You know, in some countries higher education is subsidized by the tax payers. Wanting to get a good education without having to go into enormous debt is not such a radical idea.
