Is it true that China is an atheist, communist, totalitarian dictatorship?
China has more than 33K Buddhist temples, 30K Taoist temples, 35K mosques, 56K Christian churches and many more places of worship for other religions. You should really come and see the 88m high Buddha statue in Wuxi (larger than the Statue of Liberty), the 42m high Mazu statue in Tianjin and many more spectacular places of religions. This is the Buddhist temple I myself go to every Chinese new year to pray for my fortune of the whole year. People queue for hours to knee down before Guanyin (a Bodhisattva) and light incensed sticks in prayers. You don't get these in an antheist country that suppresses religion. And China is not a communist society. It has never been communist in my opinion based on the definition of communism from Carl Marx's original theory, and China never said it's communist, but just a "socialist society with Chinese characteristics", which I translate into "an euphemism for capitalist society". The party leading the government is called a communist party and made up of atheists, but this does not make the country communist or atheist.
Are liberals and the democratic party anti Christian?
Well, I happen to be Christian AND a socialist; and when Jesus said: “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’ “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’ “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”" Jesus meant *exactly* what He said; and in that passage (as well as Romans 8, 13 and 14; and James 2 and 5) you have the Scriptural basis for why I'm a socialist.
Totalitarianism socialism is slavery by definition, why do some say its not slavery, like communist?
Yes, like what the Bolsheviks created to enslave millions and millions of White Christians. In our lifetimes, we've watched those White Christians emerge from their slavery, The most amazing video I've seen was the people coming through the gate from East to West Germany. They literally looked like they were blinking their eyes to sunlight after emerging from a darkened cell. -- and now the threat is in the Western World. Leftists are the scum of the earth. (And what Love Canada just did is EXACTLY the strategy Marxists use -- brand the White Christian as evil.)
Conservative insults (liberal, communist, socialist, ect.)?
Is it just me or do the conservatives seem to label anyone who isn't ultra conservative to the max as a liberal, a communist, a socialist or all three without even having any precent to do so in that particular context? They believe that being any or all three of those to be wrong, evil, and insulting. Is it just me or does the use of the word liberal by conservatives seem to have nothing to do with the left-wing, democrats, or actual liberals and more to do with anyone who doesn't fall in line and 100% believe what the tea party says. Does is seem like conservatives blame all their problems on liberals and more often than not sound like schizophrenic conspiracy nuts than anything else. Something goes wrong and they start screaming "liberals." It seems to me that the "liberals" the conservatives speak of are not actual people but some mystical force hell bent on destroying the almightily godliness of the rightous and chosen conservative prophets of god the almighty. Is is me or is liberal to conservatives as evil is to christians? It seems that conservatives are more hell bent on destroying everything and blaming it on the "liberals" than trying to do anything useful themselves. I am a conservative christian so don't yell at me for being a liberal atheist...I am neither of those!
Pope Francis rejected the capitalist? What do you say republican christians?
Capitalism comes under attack again in the latest publication from Pope Francis. On Tuesday the pontiff published his first long-form document written as pope, known as an apostolic exhortation. The 84-page “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the Gospel) speaks at length about the evils of unfettered capitalism and the church’s need to minister to the poor. It's not the first time the pope has attacked capitalism. Since his election to the papacy eight months ago, Pope Francis has made a name for himself as a radical by calling for reform of global financial systems that exclude the poor to the benefit of the rich. Below, check out five of Pope Francis’ most revolutionary statements on capitalism and global income inequality, from “Evangelii Guadium” and other sources. CAPITALISM KILLS! TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMICS With “Evangelii Gaudium,” Francis also blasted trickle-down economic theories, saying that those in economic power will always work to benefit themselves and not the poor in such a scenario. "Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS FOR THE POOR “Heads of the Church have often been narcissists, flattered and thrilled by their courtiers. The court is the leprosy of the papacy. The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops who have the care of souls are at the service of the people of God.” “I believe I have already said that our goal is not to proselytize but to listen to needs, desires and disappointments, despair, hope. We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor.We need to include the excluded and preach peace.”
Can someone explain how capitalism is so wonderful?
You seem to be confusing capitalism with consumerism. America has moved further and further from capitalism. I don't know if that's good or bad. It will be a long time before anyone will be able to look objectively at the whole. However, capitalism is what propelled the world to where it is today. Before the US started its ascent to being the dominant force in the world things were stagnant in many senses. Other ideas sound great but you are relying on everyone to cooperate. Maybe if everyone was like you that would work, but that's simply not the case. Those same sharks are going to exist. You can either face them knowing they are out to get you, or not. Capitalism is the idea that you are fighting for yourself. It is the acknowledgement of human nature and that you shouldn't put your prosperity trustingly into another person, or group of peoples, hands. This doesn't even get to the people who will simply sit back and relax because they think everything is taken care of, or the magnitude of what you're asking for. That is, in a command system someone is making decisions that would require more knowledge and adaptability than anyone has.
