    Jesus created the individual? Gosh! That's a strong argument. Where in the New Testament does it say that then?

    Matthew 22:21 Jesus said "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." Romans 13:1 "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those which exist are established by God."

    HAHAHA! That doesn't say "and Jesus create the individual". Another question for you. Was John Malcolm Ludlow a satanist, according to your novel approach?

    Golly, you don't know who he is do you? He was a leading figure in the Christian Socialist movement. Here's an intro:

    "Ludlow was a Christian Socialist who rejected the Philosophical Radical agenda – or at least as this agenda temporarily appeared in the 1830s through to the 1850s – of achieving the greatest pleasure for the greatest number via first abolishing the atavistic privileges of the incumbent elite and then permitting unchanging and self-regarding individuals torade in goods and ideas with the minimum of hindrance. This, Ludlow believed, was a narrow and un-Christian view of society in which brother was pitted against brother in the destructive and un-productive competition for material possessions. He instead proposed that individuals were mutable, rather than constant, entities who could be raised to a higher material and spiritual plane if they produced goods within Christian cooperatives"

    Why does Christian Socialism exist and why, unlike you, does it consider political economy?

    yes Hitler and Stalin both equal, both liberal big govt killers. Why, do you have a decided preference for one over the other? With your old world genius you can see the seeds of greatness in one? If only Hitler had had a little more time- right? If only Stalin had tweeked his second 5 year plan this way or that way?

    Perhaps you've never heard of Ludlow because he is foreign and you're not worldly? Let's go American. What about Wiliam DP Bliss? A Fabian and Christian Socialist, he wrote in his handbook of Socialism: "no Socialism can be successful unless rooted and grounded in Christ, the Liberator...the Head of Humanity". The Christian church is "the world's first, greatest and necessary International"

    It's like you don't know Christianity at all, isn't it? How about Walter Rauschenbusch and the social gospel movement? Heard of that?

    issue is not whether I've heard of that. Do you understand that???? Walter was mistaken like millions who supported Hitler or millions who thought earth was center of universe. Making sense now?

    Finally some truth. That you're unaware of Christian Socialism is clear. Hopefully you'll do some reading!

    Nobody says Jesus knew about America. What we say is that he created individual liberty and that ultimately lead to Locke Jefferson and the founding of America. When a liberal and conservative meet the conservative feels like a kindergarten teacher

    He didn't create individual liberty. And nor is he somehow specific to your politics, as demonstrated by the Christian Socialists

    For the 12th time the libcommie is asked who did create individual liberty if not Jesus? Maybe he thinks it was Caesar?

    Your ideas of the history of civilisation are a tad warped! We've always had individual liberty. Mind you, some tribes do not have a word for alone (with the importance of community meaning alone means lonely). Bloody libcommie tribes! Give em coca cola, that'll cure em...

    if so why did Jefferson say after America was formed "now there is something new under the sun." Why did Jesus teach that each individual was important if they always were? Why have the American Revolution if we always had individual liberty. Many books out dear about the creation of the individual.
