[ QUOTE ]
I don't see a contradiction [between capitalism and Christianity] - at least, not one that makes it impossible for the two to peacefully coexist.

[/ QUOTE ]
I did not ask if the two can "co-exist", in whatever uneasy co-existence. I asked if they are compatible, i.e. whether or not the two are based on contradictory premises.

Can you quote me holy christian texts that support capitalist credos? Can you quote me texts from capitalist gurus that advocate the kind of economic behavior taught by Jesus Christ?

Christianity teaches that one cannot at the same time believe in God and worship profit :

"No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
