I've suggested before that the Bible appears to promote a communal style of living more than a capitalism life style. If I remember correctly you disagreed. When we look at examples in Acts of how the early church functioned, see verses below, you cannot say we operate as they did. Being willing to help is not the same level of sharing as we read about in Acts. How much can we hold back and still have all things in common?
Acts 2:44-45
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
Acts 4:32
Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

You are getting old when you just can't stand people who are intolerant.
