Thank you for proving my point.

Yeah I'm a big threat to our economy. Not being in debt. Not applying for unemployment a few months ago. Working for everything I have. Oh but I don't believe in god, oh noes. :rolleyes:

Let me also add that calling you out for being illogical doesn't prove anything. There is only one group of people destroying this economy and that is the political ruling class. It's not the christians, is not the mexicans, its not the blacks, its not whites, it's not the people who don't acknowledge your santa clause, it's the government. It couldn't be any more obvious. Especially for someone who spends so much time on these forums, you should know this, but you are blinded by your faith.

Of course you don't see it because you fail to understand the relationship between morality and the system of economics used by a society. That's not to say that your being out of debt, refusing to seek money for unemployment from government, and working from your own hands are evil. All I'm saying is that when men and women live immorally, their economic actions will be affected by that in some capacity, especially from those who are in power.

I am going to hold my tongue for now and simply point out that "Unregenerate" has nothing to do with morality, it means not reborn and not having a faith in god.
