No cars, planes, phones, tv, internet, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, air conditioning, dishwashers, bicycles, computers, hair dryers, synthetic fabrics, supermarkets, antibiotics, pacemakers, heart surgery, etc. We aren't talking about the rightness or wrongness of slavery. We're talking about did living standards rise under capitalism? You can't begin to compare quality of life in slave times with what we experience under capitalism. It's not even remotely close. All of the above were invented by those who saw a need and invented a product that would make them wealthy. Companies started, stock sold to raise capital, wealth created, and our lives easier and better for it. Imagine what someone on the Oregon Trail struggling for months would think of someone arriving in Portland in a few hours.

Honestly man you never think these things through. Capitalism equals innovation. And it has raised more people out of poverty than any other system. You want to stand in a circle holding hands singing Cumbaya more power to you. Just remember it was capitalism that created the communication devices and vehicles that got you together with your fellow Matrix dwellers.

im not disputing that standards of living rose until 1973 in america.

no, many of the inventions were partly bc of govt. christianity shouldnt be about standards of living rising or inventions.

After all that you still think so? Tell me about all the great inventions that have come out of socialist/communist nations? You can't, and you know why? When you take away incentives to get ahead the innovation disappears. You know who's satanic? People who want to destroy everything because they can't get their fantasy utopia. Your fantasies don't work in the real world. Go back to the Matrix.

Is the person of Jesus the center of your life or is the Bible the center of your life?

This post leads me to believe it is the former and not the later.

You're the center of my attention when I post memes especially in the religion forum.
In the memes , Jesus or the Bible have nothing to do with me exposing you.

Did I learn about Jesus through the Bible or did I meet him in person? Did I read his teachings in the Bible or did I hear him speak in person? Did I see him perform miracles in person or did I learn about them in the Bible?
