When the Bible severs your brain-stem

I saw this quotation today on a Christian forum. It scared me very very much.

You want our lectures advocating neo-liberalism? (Need to make sure I'm reading this right :D ). I completely agree; the socialist agenda of this university is overwhelming, and people are buying the lies left right and centre (even Christians). Some good Biblical teaching on the need for free-market and private property is needed to give people some tools to argue with in their history/politics/sociology/journ/whatever else classes. Will chat to our Pastors about it.

I have always know people like this existed, quite frankly it is the standard American stereotype, but when it comes from people attending your own University it is a bit much. The premise here seems to be that socialism doesn't allow for the private ownership of property, which is quite frankly bollocks.

The particularly galling phrases are:

"Some good Biblical teaching on the need for free-market and private property is needed."
"People are buying the lies left right and centre (even Christians)"

It is the "even Christians" in the last part that bugged the hell out of me. From where I am sitting socialism usually has an embedded morality as opposed to neo-liberalism which assumes the free-market will operate ethically. I think I just assumed more from Christians who are supposed to believe in the necessity of morality. How can they sit and hear about sweat shopping or murderous sanctions and go "that looks like a good system, let's do more of that".

Anyway, this has been a rant, feel free to ignore me.

P.S. This isn't Christian bashing, I am a Christian, this is stupid-people bashing.
