Chris_Sleeps Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That puts them in no position to speak up for the protesters really does it? Can you explain your point a little clearer please? I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Funding the banking crisis with tax payers money is hurting people. What would not funding the banking system have done to people? Genuine question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 That The Corporation of London is unjust and undemocratic. That this model of capitalism is more unjust than it could be. That there are other alternatives. Funding the banking crisis with tax payers money is hurting people. Would you agree with those statements? They’re not ideas they are observations, an idea would be a credible alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you agree with those statements? yes, but they arn't "ideas" they are just describing the current situation. I think what MrSmith is asking is "what do they propse to do about it ?"

Halibut Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 No, it's scandalous that anybody, whether in their right mind or not, should expect the Church to take sides on any sort of political issue, let alone supporting a bunch of unwashed anti-establishment left wingers. Jesus would be firmly on the side of the protestors. The Church today has become a little separated from Christ, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 They’re not ideas they are observations, an idea would be a credible alternative. I can't be bothered with a semantic argument. If you wish to play it that way I'll end it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Can you explain your point a little clearer please. I don't understand. In an earlier post someone said the CHurch should be supporting the protesters in their stand against tax avoidance etc...tax avoidance is the legal way of paying as little tax as possible..if the Church legally pays no tax then they are in the same postion as tax avoiders therefore it would be a bit hypocritical of them to side with the protesters..ie the Church isn't paying it's "fair" share either..

Christ, as I'm sure you know, had a nice line in hanging out with most despised and reviled in society - lepers, the poor, whores, tax collectors. If I remember correctly he wasn't too keen on the very wealthy - remember the line about camels and the eyes of needles? Christ would have been on the protestor's side. It's a shame the Church isn't as forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a semantic argument; you asked if I agree with their good ideas and proceeded to give me a list of observations. I have yet to hear their good ideas so how could I agree or disagree with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
