The critic's comment is in square brackets. My response is interspersed in between.
[ This assumes that every
individual is created equal which is not the case.]
God
made all people to be of equal dignity.
[
If we were all created equal we would all own property equally.]
Ownership
of private property is a humanistic (that is, human idea). It is not from God.
Therefore, whether we are all created equal by God or not does not determine
equality of property.
[
Some individuals are better managers of property than others that is why most
work for a wage and the profit goes to the owner for the risk he takes as an
owner, basic Capitalism.]
Indeed,
capitalism is about whoever can earn more money being stronger economically. It
has no regard for those who are just shunned by a cruel world, that those who
are marginalised, for example, the homeless. Jesus said that His followers
should help the needy.
[
As Christians is this the best system that God would have us to live under?]
The
question should be posed to you because you are supporting a human-made system.
All I have done is to expose the spirit behind capitalism.
[
I believe a true Social system (not Socialist system) where all labor and goods
are shared equally as a community of believers is a better system to address
what God's plan was from the beginning. We are our brothers keepers]
Exactly.
Capitalism exists because we live in a wicked, God-hating world that seeks only
it own self-interest, oppresses the weak, perverts justice, hates the poor and
needy and twists truth.
