You know what I've found in many Christians? Fear. Fear that somehow this world doesn't belong to them, and they must adjust to that fact. Reticence. ...
If the investment goes bad, the entrepreneur loses. The worker gets his wage. Simple. All smart people should be using money to make more money, since...
I don't have a problem with billionaires, I have a problem with multinational corporations which use their financial power to squeeze out entrepreneur...
I'm not sure about that. The government can just as easily one day seize all my money and put me in jail. If they hold absolute power, then they can a...
Right. When Job had everything taken away from him, had diseases cast on him, and saw his whole world collapsing, he could keep his soul and faith in ...
That's your opinion, but I'd argue that you are absolutely wrong. The desire for the transcendent (including God) is a natural human desire, which exi...
Sure, what does that have to do with me using the Catholic Church for the sake of this discussion though? Well yeah, I don't think there's much compar...
Have you not read what I said? Atheists aren't reproducing. They will be gone as fast as they have appeared. Religion is currently in that watered dow...
Money is the best way to make money, and power is the best way to make power. However intelligence often does find ways to beat even those advantages,...
Sure, but in that extreme case, the law is not going to help you. It's people's kindness, as you say. You may be right, but it's also possible that so...
I fully agree with your sentiments, and commend you for making this post. You are correct the growth of the very cancerous forms of hedonism, nihilism...
Well since 2008-2009 was the period of the financial crisis, those years marked a decrease for US/Western world. After that, if we use IMF statistics ...
For the simple reason that there is no evidence that as poor countries become wealthier, the share of the wealth of Western countries becomes lower. T...
The semblance is of your own making, it's a creation of your mind which has misjudged. Have you taken that possibility into account? No. If you used y...
That's correct. But so what? It is a curious thing. From afar, protestants (thinking here of evangelicals mainly) seem a lot more into their religion,...
Right mate. First, I'm totally not afraid of Islam. What's there to be afraid of, at the moment Christianity is still holding sway. However, this does...
The body of Christ, the cumulative number of faithful Christians. But, for the sake of this argument, you can take it as just the Catholic Church, whi...
Okay, so let us think, where does desperation come from? Is it a material thing? I don't think so. It's more of a spiritual thing. One can be content ...
ISIS is also an ideological virus. This means that there is no ISIS headquarters that can be bombed and ISIS would be eradicated. If we dropped nukes ...
Also, there's this totally idiotic notion around that the job of the entrepreneur is to create jobs. NOPE! Entrepreneurs aren't here to create jobs, t...
Yes, but the uneducated are an important source of converts. Those are the battlegrounds that all religions are actively seeking to win over. How else...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJDivj4XOYg Depends on the country, that's another unfortunate thing that companies are FORCED to make such contributi...
Okay but that means additional manpower in terms of accounting and legal issues. So on top of the stress of starting and investing a large amount of m...
:-} That post you're referring was simply a clarification of the previous post, explaining that it isn't as you thought it was. Then after that clarif...
Yes, there is a glut who barely make a living out of it while working 10x harder than your average employee. I posted this in the Shoutbox thread, but...
I'm very modest, you seem to have exalted yourself in the position to judge my reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, so let's see if you...
Listen, how about we both take a reading comprehension and critical thinking test, and see who scores better. You might be surprised. I'll let you cho...
And by the way, you're not addressing the fact that most miners would not even WANT to be entrepreneurs, much less succeed as ones. They'd like to wor...
I disagree. Failure is a serious risk, and sets an entrepreneur back for a long time. Most entrepreneurs would quit anyway, and go back to being miner...
Mate look, I've given you everything you've asked for, including statistics and explanations to account for your own experiences, but apparently you s...
They don't take them as risks. For them it's more risky to spend their time trying to start a business selling chickens from one city to another while...
