Does the bible endorse any of our current economic or political systems?

[Universalist Catholic]

Whether it be Democrat, Republican, Capitalism, Socialism, ect.  Ive heard the typical Protestant Christian state that the Republican Party is guided by God, and the Democratic Party is guided by man.  I honestly dont believe that the Republican party is anymore godly than the Democrat party.  I also cannot say im a big fan of Capitalism or Socialism.  They both seem a bit flawed to me.

I think all man made systems have flaws. One system benefits one type of people more while the other system benefits the other type of people.

I don't there there is a perfect system to be had, even if God invented one.

The perfect system can only be perfect when mankind becomes perfect, guided and governed by God. :2c:

I think none of the systems are Biblically based. I think it impossible to have a Biblical system due to earth/nature's design.

I think it's definetly probable to improve upon a system though, one which limits corruption.

I think one of the best ways is to promote moral values, but yet also encouraging prayer in the nation.

If you design a extreme system, then it becomes a boring cold society, but if one is to slack then it becomes jaded and loses focus. I could go on here for a long time I will leave it at that. :2c:

"promote"
And that's where it goes wrong. Promotors get authority and burn those who don't follow their promoting.

but yet also encouraging prayer in the nation.

Problem one: Praying to the Christian, muslim, hindu, ... god?

If rules and teachings are needed it will never work....

It's about personality not rules.

Both parties are overcome with corruption at this point, as are the American people themselves.
It was not always that way...
