Christianity Versus Socialism

Moonbats attempt to subvert Christianity by claiming that it is somehow compatible with leftism. It is not. Robert Knight explains how socialism violates all 10 commandments. Abbreviated arguments are given below — click through to read the rest:

1. No other gods

Socialism and its offshoots – communism, fascism, democratic socialism and National Socialism (Nazism) – enshrine the state above all other powers.

2. No idols

Under socialism, sheer power over one’s fellow man is an idol.

3. God’s name in vain

To enforce their new immoral order, socialists openly blaspheme God and particularly Jesus Christ.

4. Honor sabbath

[P]eople going to church on a Sunday are identified and often persecuted in places like communist China, where atheism is the official state religion.

5. Honor your parents

Socialism has been at war with marriage and family since the French Revolution in 1789.

6. No murder

Socialists have long promoted abortion – the direct taking of an innocent human life – as a way to “liberate” women and men from parental responsibilities.

Not to mention the 100+ million killed by their own socialist governments during the 20th century.

7. No adultery

In the 1960s, Americans became familiar with the term “free love,” but socialists have been promoting it heavily since the early 1800s.

8. No stealing

Socialism is grand theft.

9. No lying

Socialism is built on a mountain of lies about human nature, which is why it eventually must resort to violence.

10. No coveting

Socialism’s main engine is envy, stoking resentment against others who have more, even to the point of using violence to get it.
