"And you read me correctly re: my lament over this country called Canada and its socialism, anti-Christian, anti-God extremism."

I tend to agree with you on that, however I do know a lot of socialists who are Reformed believers.
I think however, that their problem is that they don't understand what the logical conclusions of socialism are.

Socialism is something that to me is quite hard to put a finger on just exactly what it stands for. It appeals to the emotions in a way that would seem logical. After all at least on the surface anyway, it looks like it has the best interests of the people at heart.
Christians with socialist leanings of course are against a lot of the immoral things (i.e. abortion, homosexuality etc...) that are generally associated with socialist policies. But they are for the socialist form of government.

I have never been able to adequately explain to my Christian brothers and sisters why they should reject socialism out right.
Perhaps you or someone else could help me with this aspect, so next time the topic comes up, my thoughts wouldn't be so jumbled.
I ask for a favor however, that if you answer that query that it would be done in a manner without emotion.
From experience, I know just how much emotion a topic like this can bring.

In case you have missed it, I do not believe in a socialist form of government, even if it didn’t attract immoral things like abortionists, homosexuality etc. For one thing, I don’t think there is any way to make socialism sustainable.
