It's the Atheism, Jonah
[Angelo Matera 02/28 02:14 PM]Most political/economic structures do not have as their aim the death of the soul. So what we’re talking about here, the objective parameter Crunchy Cons are using to measure systems, etc., is Atheism, whether formal or material. That’s what most of us oppose. That’s our criterion for judgement.
Caleb has cited Whittaker Chambers twice. I was shocked when I actually read Witness to learn how deeply Christian Chambers was, that he was a Quaker (although he wasn’t a pacifist) and that he didn’t take on the world to defend Capitalism, but to oppose atheism, in whatever form it took. Therefore, if free market capitalism, in its actually existing form, imposes or promotes atheism, then people of faith will oppose it. It’s about the right ordering of priorities.
