When Pat Robertson praises a Democrat over a Republican, you know the Republican candidate has serious issues...

Actually the bible is pretty quiet on economic systems. You can identify some components of capitalism such as mercantilism and extensive trade. However there are also components of communism, socialism and CLEAR parallels to the plantation system of the American South. So: shut your buttface.

Actually, Capitalism can really only trace its roots back to the year 1776, when Adam Smith published Wealth of Nations. Even a young earth creationist would have to agree that the Bible pre-dates capitalism.

The section on capitalism is right after the discussion of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The Bible teaches Capitalism
It sure does.
Jesus on Keeping Your Hands Off My Stack: "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell an IPO in the company that thou hast, and buy a mega-yacht and a beach house in the Caymans, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me".
Jesus on Equitable Tax Burden: "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast in a farthing. While all those rich guys got soaked for a mint by these damn liberal tax-and-spend socialists, she got off for a lousy farthing!"
Jesus on Heaven for the Rich: "And he lifted up his eyes on his shareholders, and said, Screw the poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Jesus on Sharing: "But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and tell them to go to the soup kitchen for the leftovers tomorrow.

I think capitalism's a lot older than Smith; that's just a formal recognition of its existence. The thing is that capitalism isn't precisely a system that somebody sat down one day and devised, it's just what tends to evolve where no other system has been imposed. Plenty of variants exist which have been partially systemised by deliberate, considered additions, but I don't think anybody really invented the core ideas, they're just an emergent pattern that's gradually evolved over centuries, and to try and attribute their dawn to any single date is as meaningless as trying to define the year the human species began to exist.

If Robertson likes Obama... We really need to get a more progressive party going.

As if I needed any more proof that David J. Stewart was a fucking moron.
He should check out Matthew 19:23-24, Mark 10:23-25, Luke 6:24, and James 5:1.
