I wonder why religious conservatives are mostly synonymous with capitalism supporters ? I mean arent most religions inherently socialistic ? What makes conservatives support capitalism , despite not being among the rich?

      Socialism is charity at gun point, otherwise known as theft. Jesus was about voluntairly giving, because he understands consent.

        He also said people who don’t choose to do so and hoard more wealth than they need are going to hell sure as shit not heaven.

        It’s a shame it’s all fiction and no one’s going anywhere except the ground or an oven.

            Technically if they believe in a Judeo-Christian God, they believe that God knew what their choice would be before they were even created, otherwise God wouldn’t be omniscient, which nullfies the idea of free will, as it was God’s choice to make a being God knew would make decisions that led them to hell and made them anyway.

            You’re allowed not to pay your taxes to fund socialist programs. There is a consequence of jail, but you have that choice. How is it different?
