Capitalism and Christianity

· Capitalism and Christianity: It is easy to believe in the system of capitalism when you believe in a god that requires blood for the remission of sins and vice versa. The “gospel” of the Christian church can be broken down into capitalistic terms and often is. The idea that ‘freedom isn’t free’ and the idea that Love requires a sacrifice are products of the Judeo-christian mind-set. The idea of ‘Free Love’ is repulsive to the Christian because according to their parochial understanding, freedom and love are completely incompatible…they define love in terms of possession and control and freedom to them is liberation from their ‘sinful’ human nature which is where Passion resides and true Love is found.
