How does Jesus telling people to not store earthly possessions show opposition to property? Really?

What was it you said above? "Now you're just being silly". You should meet the same standards you require in others, lest you become a hypocrite.

I don't. The particular flavor of free market capitalism that modern conservatives support mean that you primarily serve yourself and yourself alone. As we have seen, this leads to class divergence. Compare that to the idea that no one person is better than anyone else and that you should serve others regardless of their place in society.

The only mistake is in your reading of what I posted. Unfortunately, I can only make my posts so clear, eventually the responsibility of comprehension falls to you, the reader.
