atheists: capitalist or communist? (myth, religions, Atheism)

Bouncing Ball · #1 06-03-2008, 01:42 AM

I have been reading about theists mentioning that atheism and communism go hand in hand.
I can imagine, somehow, that a communist should be an atheist, at least for many religions. The other way around however,

I am very very capitalistisch and never heard of the combination, so... here goes

I need statistics!!!!! If you are neither for your feeling, pick the one closest..

I can't vote I'm a socialist which makes most capitalists think I am a communist however I have to say theist's have never accused me of being a communist only caring about other people, equality and justice for all and I can live with that.

I can't think why a lack of belief in a particular mythological character would have any relation to the economic philospophy one subscribes to.

I wonder how these theists define communism? What does it mean to them? What are its faults?

Accusing: to charge with a fault or offense..

Don't get me wrong. I haven't heared it a lot either, but I only started hearing it when I entered this forum. And accused? Nah, I don't mind if people say I am communist. Just curious..

Grammar??? Yes, accused as if to charge me with a fault or offense by being of a different political view and being ignorant in thinking socialism is the same thing as communism, heck doesn't matter anyway most of them send their children to socialist schools because they are public and paid for with tax dollars, just like the police, fire department and SOCIAL security system but never health care because well, then we would be socialists

Now that's funny! I may have misread what you meant because this is about my only outlet for using English on a regular basis

I'm a capitalist. I don't believe in a planned economy in the sense that is meant by Communism.
