$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', '.')..... Christ confronted commercial interests that subverted the spiritual life of the temple, and took on the entire orthodoxy of Judaism, in his day...

He was also the living embodiment of anarchism. Were he alive today, he'd have dreadlocks, live in a tree near Eugene Oregon, take on Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and boycott MacDonalds.

Christianity demands that we be heroic, sometimes, and meek at other times....

Get up off your knees, Man!


Thank you! Thank you! Thank you again! And finally, thank you!

If the church wakes up and emulates that Jesus, the future changes in a big way.


I try not to bump posts, but this an exception, in my view.
what threadbear had to say is important, and that message needs to grow
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('max_power29', 'T')he corporation was invented to dodge liabilty and cut the costs of externalities, thereby increasing profits immensley more than a regular business like a partnership, where all partners bear liabilty for their actions. Yes, allowing the corporation to become a legal, legal entity was a huge mistake.

No i don't think religion invented it, but oraganised religion was anouther huge mistake


Nobody said religion invented the corporation. A monk in northern europe is said to have invented the concept.


OK, now I'm confused. Isn't the thread title "greatest sin of the Church"? That paints a broad brush.
It's all downhill from here

Good point. Bad title.
