i dont have much use for christianity in general, but this is just stupid.

it shows no knowledge of either the traditions associated with christianity or of the social geography of the various strands in anything like real time.
what it seems to me like is a half-baked attempt to say that it is a good thing that no=one follows the message of the gospels, because doing so would make the accumulation of cash and commodities into a problem and we dont want that o no we dont want that. because if you think that way, you end up here:


which is a location deep in the heart of a jungle on one-dimensional stereotypes that i dont think is accessible for most folk, unless there is some procedure for paying admission and going on rides inside of ustwo's skull.
because it is only there that anyone can imagine that tradition that includes augustine, aquinas, william of ockham, pascal---one that kant leaned on, that hegel leaned on--one that includes a huge range and economic and/or social geographies--can be reduced to the above.

i dont quite understand how it follows from dismissing a religion (with good reason to my mind) that one can just say anything one wants, no matter how ridiculous.
