Well of course I forgive you for misinterpreting scripture; there's a lot of that going around these days. Now on to this:
>>PS I don't think any honest researcher would have any trouble making the case that the scripture supports(even expects) free enterprise. Bartering is a form of capitalism afterall.<<
Where do you get these ideas? Bartering is a form of exchange; it is not a form of capitalism. Jesus- at least the Jesus I grew up- with- encouraged his followers to share with each other. Hardly a model of modern corporate capitalism.
And what would Jesus say about the American Tobacco Company, Enron, or Halliburton? Paul could never have imagined the future that has come to be. He never knew how much oil was under his feet on the road to Damascus.
Also, do you have any outrage left over for corporate welfare handouts (like tax breaks) after you're done beating up on pathetic welfare recipients for buying Ho- Ho's with their food stamps?
Jesus! Come back quick and show us again. We didn't really get it the first time....
