One more thing along those lines

Response to Random thoughts because I'm so over it.


There is nothing in the Bible about Democracy or Representative Democracy. There are some attempts by early Christians at something akin to communism but there's nothing about capitalism (in fact, there are restrictions on lending money at interest and I'm pretty sure that 35% interest is a mortal sin but I'm no expert).

Nothing of the American experiment had any basis in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. I don't suppose it contradicts any of them either but that's not where it came from.

Heresy? Maybe. I think it's just ignorance both of where their religion comes from and the history of political ideas and of the American colonies and later the United States.

Not that this is going to convince anyone who believes this crap.
