Is compatibilism compatible with the definition with compatible.
His dad and him were both communists
Capitalism's only flaw is the effect it has on culture.
That's where the state steps in.

I don't really think it's possible but there's a good amount of Christian ancaps so who the fuck knows
I think it's just the reverse athiest meme . Since atheists (such as I ) have no god, typically they replace it with the state which is why they are all Commies , or vice versa , minus the whole enforcing the theocracy because it would obviously break the NAP

Nah, JC's a socialist

I don't see why it wouldn't be.
The only related things Jesus was against was niggers selling shit at the temple because it's the house of God, and usury. Oh, and that thing about it being easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to reach the Kingdom, though that's more about charity and church offerings than about commie shit.
Other than that, there's not much against the trade of commodities for currency in the Bible. Not that I recall anyway, and I read it in full a few times way back when.
Lapsed roman catholic here, by the way.
Capitalism is just commerce with the addition of capital as a concept. So in other words, yes, yes it is compatible. Why wouldn't it be?

Is the King of Jews cool with us making money? What do you think?
>>56680993
It is inasmuch as Christianity is an alleged usurpation of the Jewish Covenant, where being God's favorite meant material prosperity.
Is it compatible with the hippy, proto-Commie Jesus who renounced wealth and materialusm? Of course not.
They're incompatible but it hasn't stopped Christians from trying to explain away and making apologia for this inherent contradiction

It seems that Americans and their prosperity gospel think so

>Is Christianity compatible with capitalism?
Only when you think Christianity is a veneer for capitalism that you put on things, including yourself, to disguise the fact that capitalist greed is the antithesis of the tenets of Christianity.
So, yes, they're compatible because few take Christianity at face value. They see it as a veneer, a rationalization that covers capitalist greed.
What is it compatible with?

I know you're joking, but meh, replying anyway.
One of the reasons the early christians separated from the original jews was because said jews, called Pharisees and Scribes in the New Testament, were advocating for new laws that overwrote shit from the old testament (though christianity did it too, mind you - the Good Samaritan parable in particular changes the notion that only the kikes are God's children) - the Pharisees and Scribes were advocating for usury. And the New Testament is extremely against that.
In the end, usury and subterfuges (scams) were consolidated as jewish tradition in the Talmud, by said Scribes and Pharisees, which was written during and way, way after the foundation of christianity and the catholic church. Pic related.
So... no, Jesus (if he existed, or that is, whichever new messiah they were referencing while writing the New Testament 50 to 100 years AD) is actually in a polar opposition to jewing.
But again, that doesn't mean he was against capitalism. Only against lending with interests, desecrating the House of the Lord and being a skinflint. And you can be a capitalist without doing those 3 things.
