the very term 'trade', implies some type of commerce.

Glasgow has a proud socialist tradition, but we are not communists, and the distinctions are not subtle nor a perception, its a fact. You have claimed through your text that socialism and communism are one and the same, not so.
Have...no...interest...

Then use a different word if it bothers you.

I dont care if you are interested or not, you have uttered a gross inaccuracy, you were wrong in assigning to the Hutterites the designation of socialism when in fact that are communists. The fact that you are uninterested has absolutely no bearing on this fact.

it doesn't bother me, you simply dont know what you are talking about, that is not a reflection of me, but of you.

True socialism will only be accomplished under the reign of Christ. I have no issue with the concept of socialism but its experiential effect on mankind is what I see as the problem. All forms of Government are flawed so pick the lesser of evils.

The bible is filled with passages against the rich. It's one of the most frequently recurring topics. It's amazing, though, how so many Christians will simply ignore that and pretend that capitalism is somehow compatible with Christianity.
I agree.

When somebody says something worth responding to, then I'll respond.

I haven't ruled out responding to your previous post yet. Robbie's posts, though, were not worth the time it took to type them.

Of that list, how many are associated with kind of greed and selfishness for which capitalism is notorious.

Those in your list are the opposite. They all put God first. They all did good works. None of them are guilty of just talking about their faith. They were all doers of good deeds and good works and God blessed them with prosperity.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Part of Rwingwett's beef with Christianity is that it has encouraged a breed of followers who are much llike the Pharisees or like the rich man in the story of The Rich Man and Lazarus.

I think XanthosNZ profile puts it nicely :

Each week, millions and millions of upper middle class American citizens put on expensive dress clothes, and load themselves into SUV's and drive past homeless shelters, orphanages, prisons, missions, and halfway houses on their way to a very expensive and nice church, where somebody tells them how to be more like Jesus...

Typical modern Christians and typical Christian Churches are very very far from the teachings of Christ.
