What is the evidence for any of this? There aren't many Christians in China but they have a very high savings rate.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostComment

Chinese are taught by their culture to save their money, and they are very obedient peoples. Americans too are taught to save money, but that's not what they see people doing. But if someone belives in Christ he will take Christ as an example. No Christ didn't work much the way we think of work, but he did work, tirelessly. He who loves Christ will obey Him.Originally posted by gribbler View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Hmm, surely though you're creating an argument that says 'Christians work harder than anyone else' and if we show christians who don't, you can say 'Well they aren't real christians because they aren't working hard'.Originally posted by Kidicious View Post
I admire a well formulated no lose argument, but I'm not sure it's really very realistic. Surely that also means that any christian who breaks any other part of gods word also isn't a proper christian, and that's probably not going to leave many christians left.

I hate to even call myself a christian because ac,ording to the Bible the standard for being a christian is very high. But people who believe in Christ grow and extra motivation than what they would otherwise have.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I can believe motivation, but I'm not sure it's motivation to do work in the way that most of us would recognize it. Then again isn't family as important as work to christians?Comment

I'm not saying that a christian should be a workaholic. That's a sin, and God is the highest good. But when a christian has a duty he should do it well so that others can see Christ through him.Originally posted by kentonio View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...

Puhlease. Jesus was an unabashed communist.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

The first time was just a flesh wound.
Also, reading communism into the New Testament? It's a bit like reading classical liberalism into it, or any other coherent political ideology. Wishful thinking.Last edited by Zevico; September 23, 2011, 02:06."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.
