Thou Shalt Steal

Unread postby Cloud9 » Wed 23 Dec 2009, 15:05:09

If the stealing is from a big business: link
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ondon, England (CNN) -- A UK priest has defended his comments that it is acceptable to steal from large companies.
Tim Jones, parish priest of St Lawrence and St Hilda, told his congregation in York, northern England: "My advice, as a Christian priest, is to shoplift." ...
I wonder if WalyWorld will now consider shoplifting as sanctioned by the church and sue?

There are very few real Christians left. For most so called 'Christians' it's a fashion or lifestyle choice.

Which is why the West is DOOMED.

Yup, lack of religious people is definitely the biggest problem mankind is facing right now.

Yeah but you gotta admit wearing a nice big metal cross over a hairy chest with a leather jacket is a really good look for some people.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

While I'm sure as hell not going to go risk my families well being by an act of stupidity, but I sure can't argue the logic. Big business, government, and banks have royally screwed the American people I'd be glad to see em get screwed back. Hell I'd be glad to see a lot of CEOs and government hacks stripped of their assets and put into tent cities for "reeducation" for a couple of years.

And what big business's are you talking about ?, many have made a lot of American jobs and some have made many Americans wealthy, surly Ford that did not take a bail out is one of them, Microsoft has made a lot of millionaires working at their company and so on, how you agree with the logic to steal but to put big business owners in camps is somthing from the Stalin era that is far worse than any company has done to people.

As to the OP that priest needs to find another job, not with the church, however if priest are resorting to telling poor desperate people its ok to steal than our heads of church's are far from a true christian church, its also shows how bad our economies are really at.

Any argument based on the bible is sure to never be resolved. People will do as they need to survive. If there were no social security or soup kitchens retailers would need mega security. Charity begins in the home.
