: ô no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in commonö (Acts 4:32).

: ôThere was not a needy person among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them;...and distribution was made to each as any had needö (Acts 4:34-35).

: ôI do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, so that there may be equalityö (2 Corinthians 8:13-15).

: So much for "godless" communism!

Actually, that is more about a 'communismless god' being impossible. :-) But don't you think the mindset of man would be much more suited for the world today if we didn't speculate about a "user's manual to life" written 2000 years ago? If nothing else, the Bible speaks of a supreme 'leader' of man, which is not immediately compatible with what we are working for, is it? No, I believe what we must seek to do is to liberate ourselves from that sort of thinking and attempt to give every man enough sovereignity that God is no longer needed.
