What is Communism? It is building ourselves a union of people that come together to solve their own problems through government instead of faith in God. Communism means the government becomes our God. As of 2016, over 100 million Americans are receiving some type of government financial assistance. Isn't God supposed to provide our needs in Christ Jesus?

"Communism means the government becomes our God."
No, that's more fascism. In communism, there is no government, because there is no need for it.
The feeding of the 5,000. Did he charge for his healing services?
Ergo, your J-boy is a Commie, DJS. NEXT!
The book does say that, as a matter of fact. Which means your god has a shit load of explaining to do since, to date, he hasn't rained down a single sprinkling of mana or duplicated even one moldy loaf of bread in the last 2000 years.
@Musicalbookworm:
Because then they'd have to obey its laws and pay taxes.
You know the funny bit? Theologically, he's right, he just doesn't mean to be.
Yes, Christ is supposed to provide for the poor and the downtrodden. But...there is a reason the Church is referred to as "The Body of Christ." The Church is supposed to provide for these people. Because they don't, people look elsewhere.
In theory, the state is supposed to "wither away"; it's just that, because the stage of socialism doesn't work, we never get to communism.
There are stats on this that are very relevant in states that have severly cut back on social programs, disabilities and inadequate pension/medicare coverage:
The church isn't helping these people the Christian ain't providing.
The churches, in the Bible belt especially are constantly petitioning the government to increase social spending,,, through church programs. Already church programs are getting quite a lot from taxpayers.
Watch Kentucky. That fucking Ark Parks gonna strangle its government programs.
By the way, Isn't Daves income entirely derived from his internet begging and that's tax exempt? Grow some carrots and donate them to shelters Dave, do something useful with your life.
God, not being real, hasn't fixed the problems. Christians, being ungodly, have failed to combat hunger and poverty.

Uh, that sounds pretty cool, actually. Never mind that it's not close to ANY definition of communism I've ever heard.....(but I guess that's just the old fundie trick of making up your own definitions of words)
Oh, and also never mind that there is such a thing called Christian communism, either....
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
