I'm not Christian but i agree with some of it's beliefs Individualism? not really, it was about helping others, respecting each other with privacy and such (eg The Good Samaritan) Consumerism? definitely not, the bible says about sharing things like food rather than hoarding and keeping it for yourself. Was it ever about living beyond your means? Crime and Punishment? Thou Shalt not kill etc. The "American Dream"? to even have a chance of realising this, you have to beat others to it, you can't help someone and get rich. |
If you help people and get compensated, you can get rich. Only someone robbing at outright gunpoint, or killing to take doesn't give something and gets something back. Anyhow, that is a different subject pretty much, and not quite in scope here.
