If the ideals of Jesus is the accepted values of Christianity, Capitalism is pretty much the most evil thing ever created. |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism
As with any economic system almost, it can be used to do what Christ would have. Capitalism says nothing pro or con regarding charity, just who has ownership of capital.

If you want a system that Jesus, real or not, would have endorced, it would be a system where every human being has equal rights and the right to life (shelter, food, healthcare etc.) This is not capitalism.

I dont see how capitalism limits any of that. can you give examples?

Individuals who end up saying stuff like, "The best way to help the poor is to promote free markets" and end up talking about how you just let everyone do what they want, will turn a blind eye to those in need. Such individuals will end up either denying there is real human suffering, or end up saying the people suffering refuse to take personal responsibility for themselves, thos 47% freeloaders.
Capitalism can, if combined with charity, but when it isn't, then it is what prayformojo wrote about.
