Conservapedia:Scarcity

In teaching his economics course, Andrew Schlafly is indoctrinating the idea that because of the miracles performed by Jesus, scarcity does not really exist.

Why Schlafly teaches the non-existence of scarcity.
It's in the Bible (Duh). Given the idea has biblical origins, in true Schlafly style, he then proceeds interpret the relevant passages in such a way as to make them conform to his beliefs.

Schlafly's arguments for the non-existence of scarcity
Schlafly seem to be taking the following accounts of miracles performed by Jesus Christ as historical and true (Directly adopted from his article):
 * Multiplication of the loaves
 * The master's estate in the Prodigal Son
 * An excess of fish found by casting the net on the other side of the boat

Why teaching the non-existence of scarcity is dangerous

 * Ironically, in a huge violation of conservative ideological precepts, it discourages actual work: If you can pray at home and get the stuff effortlessly (as well as tax-free), there is no incentive to work anymore.
 * It encourages idiotic solution to problems: This article (barring any misnomers) addresses a problem of scarcity:  the 15 seats are considered scarce compared to 20 people who want to be seated.  Encouraging prayer as a solution (see the section entitled section "Biblical Solution") is essentially avoiding the actual problem by decreeing that "prayer will calm the storm/give extra seats" because the Bible said prayers will be answered      .  We are still waiting the first independently verifiable instance of systematically working prayer without the presence of Jesus Christ .  But as Mr. Schlafly himself so wisely puts it, "It's silly to speculate on a scenario that will never happen."
 * It discourages the analysis of wealth. There is no point in keeping anything of value if praying for it will result in God personally giving it to you . Since the possession of wealth is discouraged, it also discourages the analysis of wealth in the following manners:
 * Financial analysis: you need no investment since you don't need money.
 * Economic analysis: there is no point in buying things since you can simply pray for them.
 * Which defeats the whole purpose of actually studying economics.

Conclusion
Scarcity is a requirement of the subject of economics. Deal with it.

In addition, Andrew Schlafly is a huge idiot, and not afraid to prove it.
