How would you know if free markets [capitalism] be good? Free markets are simply the idea that one is entitled to all the benefits of ones’ labor.

Think back to your school days, now if you really like the opposite then nobody flunks and nobody excels b/c the teacher [gov] wants to be fair so the smartest and hardest working are robbed of their grades to ‘give’ the stupid and lazy the same average C grade for all. The book by Paul Bunyon ‘Pilgrims Progress’ describes the major flaw in this system - it robs all of the incentives to keep working harder and smarter.

None of us have enjoyed free markets as the founding fathers intended since we have had 100+ years of creeping socialism beginning [in the early 1900s] with the secretive Federal Reserve ‘Bank’ [think of it as a gov credit card where the people make the payments] and unconstitutionally ‘passed’ 16th amendment on a graduated income tax [did not get 3/4 ratification by the states].

Sadly, just like your obvious lack of knowledge regarding creation, you are also quite lacking on American history. This is really abhorrent for someone who became a freeper within 1 year of its inception!

Please please please study the Bible and read as much as you can get your hands on that is outside of the mainstream groupthink. Please?

I should have been more clear. I meant Free Markets are GREAT and it would have been nice if he Bible EXPLICITLY said so! It does say "Thou shalt not steal" which socialism by its very nature violates, but the emphasis on faith and sacrifice is exactly what the collectivists use to enslave us.

I was an atheist most of my life because of this insistence on the creation myth. I came to God because I started to notice His unseen hand at work. I arrived at God by reason and have come to accept Him by realizing I don't have to accept all the nonsense He has been claimed to be associated with! The best example of evil done in God's name is Islam and it surly is the work of the opposition because it sure makes God look bad if it was true. (Which is why Islam , the "true religion", EXPLICITLY encourages it followers to lie about Islam!)
