(Click to enlarge.)Capitalism
Capitalism is not so evil in that it justifies people's efforts to make money, more money, and nothing but money.
It is not to make poor workers suffer or punish them for nothing. It is just for capitalists to make more money that they sacrifice poor workers.
Yet in other society based on ideology, those with power simply try to make enemies suffer and punish them, for the enemies do not accept the ideology they believe.
PART I: Capitalism
Plenty of money is collected through application of mechanisms of capitalism.
Plenty of money is collected through a money exchange market where money is traded in gambling.
(Click to enlarge.)Global money are handled overwhelmingly in America.
But, money must have something to buy, so that capitalism works.
Money needs to be supported by materials.
(Click to enlarge.)Today, the basic material crude steel is produced overwhelmingly in China.
Money handling America and steel producing China have some relationship to support each other. But, the world is larger than America and China combined.
For example, Japan alone leads the second or third largest money market in the world and keeps the second largest steel production.
Money circulated between America and China, partly leveraged by steel production in China, should not disturb the world. The capitalism pursued between America and China should not harm democratic nations in the world.
Ultimately, it is necessary for the world to control and manage America and China in terms of their money handling and material production so as to secure and promote sustainable peace and prosperity of the world.
PART II: Religion and Capitalism
In this context, Christ Jesus said that you cannot serve both the God and Mammon at the same time.
Therefore, capitalism is impossible in the Christian world.
Yet, ideology in the form of Judaism around the 1st century was an enemy to Christ Jesus.
So, ideology in any fields can be an enemy to Christians.
However, in the world of Judaism, there cannot be capitalist society.
In the world of Islam, it is very difficult to see a possibility of capitalism prevailing among Muslims.
Put simply, capitalism today means embodiment of the limit of Christianity that has been preached in these 2000 years.
In either way, the main player in the world is Christianity rather than Judaism or Islam, since capitalism has no obstacle in exerting its influence on Judaists and Muslims, though capitalism represents a failure of Christians. Judaism and Islam are not essentially for or against it.
Finally, we have confirmed that Christians are responsible for capitalism that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

If there is a big chance for a man to make big money, but if he is a Christian, he will not grab the chance.
Instead, he will try to find why there can be such a big chance to make the big money.
Then, he will find a failure in an economic and social system.
Accordingly, he will try to correct the failure so that such a chance will disappear.
Yet, in reality, many people are violently competing and clashing to make the chance for big money their own.
And, as if getting drawn into toxication under the theme of capitalism, they repeatedly enter the arena for this competition and clash while enjoying riches.
The lack of an inhibitor in the mind which should be formed through faith in Christianity is the source of capitalism, since otherwise the inhibitor would stop them from riding on the theme of capitalism.
(The denial of capitalism does not need ideology-framed socialism and communism. Or socialism and communism without ideology might have a chance to develop over capitalism. Yet, the answer is the Kingdom of God where the evil power of capitalism as well as authoritarian ideology, including socialism and communism, will not be able to reach.)
