I wasn't getting into any "Christian thing". If, say a criminal, were to come to a realization that their crimes were wrong and take positive measures to change their ways. Forget religion. Then they wrote a book or an article espousing the life change they went through, would that mean that they were hypocritical law abiding citizens??



Depends on if they practice what they preach........I was just pointing out that many so called Christians live a lifestyle that completely contradicts what the bible teaches. That in anyone's book is hypocrisy.
A Christian Capitalist is an example of an oxymoron....and is about as different and far removed from any kind of TRUE Christianity as communism is so far removed and different when compared to true socialism. Two completely different beasts with two completely different agendas.
Just heard on the news that the Italian prime minister is stepping down......the country is all but bankrupt.....they also will need to be bailed out.....another capitalist country proving that their system is too corrupt to work....and who will bear the cost of this bailout......fellow capitalists, or Italy's own big businesses?....no chance....as usual the poor working man will suffer for things he had no part or say in and pay for the mistakes of capitalists.
