It's under capitalism that the Bible became the all-time best-selling book.

I believe Christianity to be both economically and socially liberal.

I don't.

And, ironically, the most shop lifted.

Good point. Very little more socialist than shoplifting, which is of course no different than voting to tax other people's goods and services away. Capitalism of course is the only moral economic system—the system that allows people to subdue the earth and be masters of their own destinies, without enslaving others.

The beauty of the free market is that no exchange ever takes place unless both parties benefit. Wealth is the product of industry, ambition, character, and untiring effort.

Um, okay. You think goods and services just 'happen' by themselves?

Then you're talking about something non-existent.

What does that obvious truism I posted have to do with what you're saying now?

So then contrary to the implication of your earlier post, you do think goods and services just come about on their own.

I was simply praising the great virtues of human innovation, work, and productivity. The obsessive consumption of wealth destroys character, but the creation of wealth never does any such thing.

One message ago.

Please learn to post something other than "No, you're wrong." It just further highlights the fact that you have the debating skills of a four year old.

How is socialism economically conservative?

Conservatism is to capitalism as liberalism is to socialism. Everyone gets this except you.

Not really related?

No, that would be your post to my post.

Conservatism, like any other term, can mean anything you want it to mean. But I don't know anyone else here who does not associate economic conservatism with capitalism.

Don was responding to Finn, who explicitly referred to economic conservatism:

After Satanism the most economically conservative religion is Hinduism, because of the caste system. Traditional Calvinism is also very conservative economically.

I'll take that as a, "I didn't even read his post."
