Lol! i don't think I am, but maybe I am by some other people's standards. Heck, didn't the Jews even slander Jesus by calling him things pretty similar at that time?

Can a person be a communist and a christian at the same time? Or does labeling someone a communist somehow change how that person should be treated? Questions I have. Definition of Communism: A way of organizing a society in which the government ownsthe things that are used to make and transport products (suchas land, oil, factories, ships, etc.) and there is no privately owned property. just based on this definition I believe it is possible a person can be both Christian and Communist, but how many people in history Have proven to be both? Why are all the communist countries Godless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are all the communist countries Godless? My only thought is I have been told that the communist nations outlaw religions and bibles to maintain power. I do not know if it is true. I have also been told that once a nation exists under such a plan for a period of time, there builds up such a vacuum, that people thirst for the truth. So in a way, even though Satan wants to rid peoples knowledge of God, God actually uses it for good, as people come to realize they need the truth.

Why are all the communist countries Godless? For communism to work, the leaders must be benevolent and Christian and be true servants looking for the welfare of others always. The problem is absolute power draws those who desire power and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so such a system would never work because of the personalities involved - and this is what Putin learned.

You believe communism would work if the leaders met a criteria? From what I've seen, some people will work overtime because they love their job, but many others will only work hard enough to get their basics paid for, so to expect someone to work hard for others to take it away does not seem like a workable system. People might be inclined to give, but few agree with things being taken away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
