Was Jesus a communist?

[OddBeMe]

Kinda seems like he and Marx woulda gotten along.

And just to clarify, I actually mean Marxist. Communism is the political experiment that started bad and turned Stalinist, Maoist and…Pol Pot-ist. None of whom read Marx, fyi.

Yeah he hated money

No! He’s American and capitalist as apple pie!

No, Jesus would have opposed Marxism. Jesus would have opposed any totalitarian ideology because they are all oppressive.

I don't know why you're trying fool others into believing that the Marxist mass killers hadn't read Marx. Pol Pot and Mao had not only read Marx, but other Marxists as well. Stalin had a private library with Marx's writings and the works of other Marxists.

Communism (Bolshevism) was totalitarian and bad from the beginning. Only a Marxist would attempt to whitewash it.

[OddBeMe]

You realize Christianity is a totalitarian ideology?

[Avicenna]

What makes you think that?

[OddBeMe]

Does it not say its god is absolute?

[Avicenna]

LOL, do you really know nothing about Christianity? I know you're a Marxist, but damn...

Anyway, asking a Jewish guy about Christianity isn't usually the best way to get an accurate answer.

[OddBeMe]

You asked. And every religion is by definition totalitarian.

[Avicenna]

Well, I don't think that's accurate. Every Christian I know sees God as something kind, good, protective. Yet you think God is Stalin, Mao or Hitler.

[OddBeMe]

That has nothing to do with totalitarianism dumbass. Is your god absolute?

[Avicenna]

What do you mean by "absolute"? The only God?

[OddBeMe]

Lol…this is where religionists start pandering. I mean do you believe your religion fcking absolute? Above all else. Definite.

I know you’re too stupid to use a dictionary but there are 3rd grade sites I can send.

[Avicenna]

Your severe communication deficits from a poor education are entirely your fault, not mine. The word "absolute" has different meanings in different contexts. But obviously Marxists like you are too busy getting brainwashed with Marxist ideology to ever look at a thesaurus.

Furthermore, religion isn't the simplistic matter that you Marxists think it is. First of all, English major, you are using personification to analogize a deity to humans. Why would you think a deity would be human-like? That seemed to be the "absolute" you were referring to earlier, but due to your poor Texas education, you can't even focus on a single meaning of "absolute".

No religion has absolute truth. We all have reasons for believing what we believe, but when it comes to religion, none of us truly knows for sure.

[OddBeMe]

Because humans invented them, for thousands of years. Unless you worship Ra the Sun God.

Do lots of hard work carving stones for low pay... check

"render to Cesar what is cesears" ... money... check

" She gave the only penny she had..."... money... check

"turned water into wine so could keep on partying and noone disappointed"?

"you saducees are like white washed tombs"... nope

Murder all your adversaries and keep everything for yourself... nope

get murdered slowly to save everyone else and reserve a place for them in heave if they do your will, which is to give to others freely?

monetarily, yes.

[FreyaRed]

Expelling merchants from the temple could be interpreted as early form of socialism. On the other hand merchants were god chosen ones, this action was ***antisemitic*** therefor Jesus behaved like a Nazi.

[Siri137]

Yes, obviously. Anyone who has ever read the New Testament should know this.

[msc545]

Jesus didn't cheat and lie and steal from others. I don't think he was a Capitalist.

[OddBeMe]

yeah, people forget that part of the bible.

[jshm2]

That's a rather daft points grab, even for you.

Jesus didn't give a shit about politics, he was all about the faith. Marx was all about the politics.

The two can't meet.

[OddBeMe]

Politics is literally governments doing shit. So I’m sure Jesus did care about politics. If he existed.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Communims and capitalsim didn't exist 2000 years ago. Both are concepts that came around during the modern age. After the industrial revolution.

[OddBeMe]

Thank you, captain obvious.

[Sevenpointfive]

maybe a communionist. he liked to give out snacks

[CaptainSmartass]

Nope. But I've got my suspicions about Santa...

Simples...

[Agape93]

Nope. He believes in a theocratic monarchy.

[OddBeMe]

Didn’t remember that in the gospels. But I’m sure his believers do!

[Agape93]

Lol.

[supercutebutt]

Yup. 100%

[strateguy632]

no..

[OddBeMe]

You’re just going through my old Qs…I love it. I forget about these.

Communism is a faceted political doctrine. But just the Marxist no money, everyone’s equal shit, that’s all jeebus.

[strateguy632]

huh? communist russia and china had money. when did jesus say do not earn money? he was a carpentar for god sakes! @OddBeMe

[OddBeMe]

“Camel through eye of a needle than a rich man gets into heaven”. Jeebus was a big fat hippie.
