Econ #1

Mr. Moore said that, "All great religions day essentially the same thing Marx said." And although this may seem true, it is not. It seems to me, that they all sound similar, and they might be close to looking the same on the outside, but when you dig deeper you can see the exterior of the religion and see what they really are all about and what they stand for. To go on, they all talk about how we should treat the poor, and yes they all seem to say the same thing, rich give to the poor. However, this is not all carried out in the same way, and it's not always fair. Carl Marx believed that everything should be forced, and made equal. Nobody was rich or poor, just equal. Muslims also deal with the poor in a rather unlikely matter, instead of help solve the problem, they are just required to give them a percent of there yearly salary. Both of these world views are dealing with the poor, but not in a way that helps get them off the street. There are alot of great Christian programs, that helps homeless get cleaned up and off the streets. They give them jobs and an education. This is what these people are called to do, help the homeless. This is better then any amount of money or equality. And it ultimately solves the homeless problems. In the end, it's a much better solution. So, when you look at the way the different worldviews/religions help the homeless, you can see they are all trying to help. And so this would make one think, "Hey they are all the same, they all help out the bums." But when you really look into it you can see, some ways are more effect then others, and sometimes, there is only one right way.
