<p>It’s always fascinating to me how Christians have embraced Capitalism yet scorned Communism as atheistic. Perhaps it is just the uncomfortable alignment with Republicanism and social conservatism that has forced it. I realize that some Communist leaders aligned their particular version of atheism with government, but the concept in general seems far more aligned with Christ’s teachings of caring for the poor and allowing others their journey without judgment, even if they contribute nothing.</p>
<p>I guess I just find it hard to imagine Christ telling people, “Come on, you’re not wealthy because you’re lazy and are waiting for a handout! There are no handouts! Get to work!”</p>
<p>Anyway - I guess that’s a little askew of topic.</p>
