Well isn't socialism a system where there is no private ownership? So then if the fatcats at the top still have private ownership, it's not really socialism, it's just a Ponzi scheme. That's why I don't think socialism is actually real. Obamacare is a pretty good example, it's not socialism, the corporations aren't giving up their private ownership or their private profits. It's just a Ponzi scheme with a nice sounding little label to make insurance corporations richer.

Not as much as you think, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Actually 48 times a day if you're traveling around the Earth at the proper speed.

Well when words no longer mean what they mean, I guess you can just make up anything.

The sad thing is that most churches in an effort to keep members thinks that it should change to match what society is doing. God expects us to be better than that, we are in the world, not of the world

thats the point. To get the mindless to latch onto thier cause by appealing to emotion and then counting on the mindless to make the "right" choice based on that emotion. Classic brainwashing and pretty easy to do really when you control the medium with which the message is delivered. Never has there been a time In history where it is achievable with such substantial numbers of the mindless. And in every walk of life.

Yea, if they heard they might understand. If they understood, they might be converted and healed by Jesus. They that hear but don't understand are caught away by Satan. Those that hear and rejoice but when the hardship comes they are rootless and they wither. Then some hear and rejoice but the cares of the world strangle them from understanding. But he that hears the words and understands the words he will bring forth the fruit in time, some many fruits, some only a little.
