Christianity and contradictory beliefs.

Hi folks,

I’m sure that this has been discussed before, but I remain confused after years of reading and thought.

Inspired by recent events in the USA, I want to ask - How on earth do ‘right-wing christians’ or ‘radical conservative christians’ square free market capitalism with the teachings of Jesus?

This contradiction seems to be so glaringly obvious as to be a ‘no brainer’ (literally) and yet apparently well educated people are signed up to both beliefs.

Am I missing something here ? Am I a sandwich short of the picnic??

Cheers, :sunglasses:

Check out , The Protestant Ethic, by Max Weber, I think the name of the book is longer than that, but it gives some good information about what your asking about…
