It's very good, and would be particularly useful for those Christians who are tempted to believe that capitalism is evil or at the very least, not particularly good. Richards is spot on, and honestly deals with Biblical texts, not twisting them to say what he wants and recognizing when his points are implicit and not explicit (or even the primary intended meaning) in the Scriptures. It's a breath of fresh air in the Marxist smog that is creeping over all our society.Dariusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477122.post-48252810853973861792009-06-03T09:02:25.695-05:002009-06-03T09:02:25.695-05:00Is this that book you said you were going to start...Is this that book you said you were going to start reading?

It's manufactured consensus, when obviously there is no real consensus. Do you want to get foundation money for scientific research? Well you had better include something about global warming in there or you won't get any foundation money. Do you want the prestige that comes with scientific discovery? Do you want to eat? Better play along. <br /><br />This too is part of the grand eugenics strategy. Too many people, too much carbon dioxide, human life must be taxed, population must be decreased, the public must be "educated", planet must be saved, etc. This is what is being sold as science these days.Chris Anoreply@blogger.com
