Just to provide capitalism (essentially a poverty dependant system) with a morality and a powerful vocabluary - that it can just use against the poor?

Words like Jealousy and Envy are always used against poor people (quite biblical and powerful words)who just want to preserve they're own greed and wealth, and essentially and in reality justify low taxes, and basically keep it, and let society crumble.

Take from the poor, and Give to the church.

Hardly.
Look at Jesus talking to Zacchaeus, the corrupt tax collector. Zacchaeus was so impressed by Jesus' teachings, that he went and gave *everyone* he ripped off four times more than what he had taken, and gave half of his own personal belongings to the poor.
How does that encourage poverty? I see a man who became Christian, and enrich those people he made poor while as a non-believer!

I think using a powerful 'vocabluary' against the poor shows utter pusillanimity.

Christianities purpose is to provide a way back to GOD the father through Jesus Christ. Nothing more, nothing less.
May GOD richly bless you.
