While capitalism may be an effective way to manage an economy in a sinful world, there is a critical place for altruism (something Rand found repugnant) in a world striving to be sinless. I think if you ever stumbled upon a true Christian civilization, both radical liberals and reactionary conservatives would be uncomfortable. Such a civilization would likely look like communism, but operate like free market capitalism. In the case of the pure Golden Rule/Ten Commandments based Christian society it is the people that are perfected and expanded, not the laws. The laws are simple and obeyed, not at the point of the sword, but by the changing of hearts.<br />Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700342512275624543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689085743312490045.post-33001262760305440302015-06-03T06:27:22.820-07:002015-06-03T06:27:22.820-07:00If you want to quote Ayn Rand, you should do it in...If you want to quote Ayn Rand, you should do it in the context of the first demon's message: http://everythingimportant.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
