You pick me for 'Bible Bashing' but wait... lets see what Tao is on about here....
[The problems faced by workers the world over cannot be solved on a national basis, and can only be solved by the unification of the INTERNATIONAL working class against the international capitalist system by reorganizing society on a socialist basis i.e. according to the needs of the majority of ordinary working people.]
Now.. call me stoopid, but that sure looks like an ideological rant to me :)
Ok.. now its time to pick that to pieces. (the vultures have found the prey and are descending)
Firstly, your observations about Labor and Hawke etc (in the other thread) are very appropriate. But your RESPONSE is totally wrong.
Read Acts 6:1 to see exactly WHY it is wrong. People are still people.
You speak of an international working class ? mate..that is absolute rot.. todays 'working man' is tomorrows capitalist if you give him half a chance. Capitalism IS a problem, but so is 'Socialism' as you present it.
In the end, the best thing is a balance between private initiative and social responsibility. You cannot legislate 'morality' in the sense of changing peoples hearts, you can only legislate to restrain the selfish natural inclination of people.
Socialism didn't work for the early Church, well.. it did for a while, but.. then the beaurocracy began "Choose men from among you"
A spirit filled local Church works very well. People are cared for. Those with '2 tunics' often share one with he who has none... but don't let your left hand know what your right is doing...
You cannot 'legislate' this.. it must come from the heart.
While Jesus changes our hearts, it is a moment by moment relationship.
Socialism without God, is a barren stark wasteland of empty hopelessness....thats my opinion.
