Any kind of petition to that drug addict would only feed his ego and make him think he is more important than he really is. Besides anyone who has read the words of Jesus and thinks he would support the capitalist system is an idiot.
I could say the same thing about being an idiot to anyone who has read the words of Jesus and thinks He would support a socialist system as being an idiot as well. Christ talked about personal charity and the goodness of freely giving to those who need help, but nowhere even remotely does He discuss any support for taking from your fellow man to give to another man whom you deem "more deserving." Nowhere does He support wealth redistribution. Again, this is an example of people seeing what they want to see to support their agenda.
Besides, we are supposed to have a secular government with separation of church and state, so what Christ may or may not have wanted really means nothing in terms of government.
i do know it sure as hell wasn't Tesla.
are oil companies dropping bombs all over the middle east?

You know very little about history huh? Back in the time of Jesus the Romans did provide for their poor citizens so he wouldn't complain about something that he supported. When Jesus told people like the rich to sell their things and give to the poor he was talking to people that were in charge because the only way you became wealthy back then was through theft and political connections. So he would support a Socialist system before a Capitalist one.

Tesla was the man that came up with the AC that we currently use Edison wanted to stick with DC and lost to Tesla.

And what did the warmongers tell Americans? The oil will help pay for the war. So the government is dropping the bombs for them.edit on 5-12-2013 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

Except oil didn't pay for the war did it? We are not taking the oil, are we? Iraq's oil is currently being sold to the Chinese.

so...who's ready to give more tax-payer funded oil subsidies to the major oil giants, and cut food stamp subsidies to poor Americans. all people in favor raise your right-wings.

If there is a God, and I believe there is, he is certainly pissed off that the greedy refuse to share his bounty with ALL of humanity.
God’s bounty includes the technological ability we have today where if the PTB wanted to they could eliminate ALL extreme poverty and disease.
They rather continue spending wealth on wars, weapons of mass destruction and their independent acquisition of wealth through their acquired monopolies.
But no, they play this lie as if it is THEY and they alone and their independent ability of acquiring wealth that is sacrosanct.
NO ONE IS INDEPENDENT BUT GOD
The rich and those that support their philosophy of selfishness and greed are the enemies of humankind.

no it's a world that, given the correct laws, like anti monopoly laws for example, everyone has the opportunity to learn, achieve, and create the kind of place they would like to see. instead of a handful making choices for everyone else.edit on 5-12-2013 by undo because: (no reason given)

I can see your point but...
Are not laws a social creation? So there for wouldn't a country of laws would be considered socialistic?
Then there is still the point that anti-monoply laws are only effective if enforced upon all, rather than ignored by the corps and the government that they have bought.edit on 5-12-2013 by AlaskanDad because: grammar / typo

He did not tell anyone what to do. He gave choices. Two. Heaven or Hell. "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life". All of His teachings directed us to have love and forgiveness for one another. You moneychangers can try to rewrite the meaning but it won't change the Truth. As the evidence is now in after 30 years of rampant greed and policies.
