Is it a zero sum game. How can you call yourself a Christian and still support vulture capitalism?Christians do not support vulture capitalism but many support capitalism. It's a lazy and sneaky claim by anti-capitalists to call all capitalists 'vulture capitalists'. You're using straw man arguments. How many people here have actually claimed to support vulture capitalism? None! I've heard all these lies before. None impress me and they all come from hatred and envy. They are not Christian in any shape or form.Most of the so-called vulture capitalists are Left-wing and anti-Christian anyway. Such as Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros.

Such as Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros.The problem is mega corporations rule the roost and so their attitudes and actions predominate even though there are many smaller more ethically run businesses. Capitalism works as long as ethics are involved and are controlling. But throw ethics out and capitalism is no better than any other system which falls prey to greed, pride and envy.

Omegaman 3.0 Posted October 6, 2015 Group: Graduated to Heaven Followers: 57 Topic Count: 1,546 Topics Per Day: 0.21 Content Count: 10,320 Content Per Day: 1.41 Reputation: 12,323 Days Won: 9 Joined: 04/15/2004 Status: Offline Birthday: 11/05/1951 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If I were to venture a guess, it would be that those who are successful at capitalism, are the one's who create jobs, build hospitals and universities, and give a lot of money to all sorts of needy causes.Poor people, give very little, but what they can give, is of course a sacrifice and a blessing. The poor, do little to bring food to the suppermarket, not build the market where we shop. Greed is not a good thing in itself, like may things, money is a tool which is used for good and for evil. People have greed, even the poor. Capitalism, is not greedy, it is neutral.It does however, make gaining wealth possible, without taking it from other by force. My guess is that it does more good in helping other's well being, than a world without it, ever could, as long as the world is populated with sinners.Stirring up envy, complaining about the good fortunes of others and blaming it on a system, is an exercise in faulty logic, and falling prey to darkness, that seeks to place blame rather than embrace solutions.There is nothing inherently evil in large corporation, nor inherently good in small businesses.

Capitalism that cannot produce a yield on investment is no longer a dealer in capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
