the Bible-bar is a uniquely Christian capitalist product. Name one other group besides Christian capitalists who would market such a thing.

Scientology...

Other than that I agree with you Wong

Well, if you're saying that, then you best turn off your computer now and never access it again. While your at it, stop using electricity, and vacate your home. Oh yes, never go grocery shopping, eat nothing but wild animals and berries. Running water is hereby off limits, you must drink from the river. Then, when you get ill, don't bother seeking out medical care. When you have completely purged yourself of science and technology, then you may burn its books to keep warm out in the wilderness.

GENERALIZATION; you will never see anything like this in The Netherlands, oh mr. Wong. And the Netherlands is a Christian Capitalist country.
Strawman. I never said that all Christian capitalists make Bible-bars. However, the Bible-bar is a uniquely Christian capitalist product. Name one other group besides Christian capitalists who would market such a thing.

He-brew. The Chosen Beer.

I think that covers your question.

Christian capitalists, Jewish capitalists, is there any difference?

Actually, on a related note, I think it's pretty funny that there are millions of Christian capitalists out there and they don't notice that Christians aren't allowed to be capitalists. Jesus said that it's "easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven", remember? Jesus was an extreme left-wing socialist. In other words, all of you Christian capitalists are going to Hell.

That "Bible-Bar" ad certainly has entertainment value at the least. Some time ago on Ebay, there was an item for auction:

Godzilla, King of the Monsters, VS. Jesus, King of the Jews, Action Playset.

Granted, I'm assuming that it was a farce, but it was still rather humorous. I kept the image, and I would have posted it, but i haven't figured out how...

Regarding Christian capitalism, there is a disturbing trend that I would call "success theology", which is becoming prevalent in certain denominations. In short, the wealth of a "faithful" person is a direct sign of blessing from God; therefore, such a person MUST be on the right path or they wouldn't have received such a blessing. That is circular reasoning at its finest.

The Bible bar. Looks pretty hokey. I'd try it though.

Agreed. It is completely the opposite of what once consituted a pious individual. That is, if you were dirt poor you were consired more blessed than a rich person.
