The advantage of Christianity over Communism, is that even though we look forward to a state where we have "the good things without the bad things", we still have a mechanism (forgiveness) to deal with the bad things in a world and with people that we expect to be "fallen" (imperfect).

"If you are still flying economy, you are not middle class" You could also say, "If you are not a manager (literally 'bourgeois'), you are not middle class". It's very silly and quite European, (Continental, particularly) setting meaningless boundaries like this. The American rule of thumb is, if you have equity in your house and a retirement account of some kind (you own stock), you are Middle Class. The fact that the American system produced a majority of people who fall into this category is a testament to how far superior it is to the European system. "You will own nothing, and you will be heppy". I'm not sure I know anyone who wants to be 'heppy'. I'm not even sure what it means, to 'be heppy'.

@MilanyAece Well, the Crusaders needed to reverse the imperialist conquests of the settler-colonial Arabs. We'd be a lot better off today if they'd succeeded. I'm thankful things are better between Christians and Jews today. As for the witches though, I'd have to take that on a case-by-case basis. Did any of the people you're talking about ask for forgiveness, or show any kind of contrition, by the way?
