My daughter and I read this last night. Remember the part where Jesus used the power of the state to confiscate the loaves and fishes?

Didn't he also want to stick a needle in the eye of rich people. I might be slightly off on that part.

I mean someone who feeds the poor, gives health care to the sick, and says it would be impossible for a rich person to go to heaven.

I'm quite comfortable laughing at Marxs criticism of any social system that is not his own.

Your defense of his "truth" is quite telling. Bc the social system he is criticizing is the most successful social system in human history which has resulted in nearly 100% misery reduction

The truth he told was about the terrible working conditions in the factories and mines of the day and the practically starvation wages they got paid for it. 100% misery reduction for whom? Here are a couple of terms for you to Google if you so choose, "Lunch Pail Fathers", "Breaker Boys".

I’m flabbergasted that he said sometimes communism is right.

It never was or Is

Are you talking about something I said? If not then sorry I misunderstood. As for communism sometimes being right, are you talking about the monstrosity that took place in Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, etc., during the 20th year (which was always wrong) or the one example of actual communism that took place that actually did work and work well, though to be fair it was in a very small area and wouldn't work on a nationwide scale.

He says to sell all you own and follow him, to do for the downtrodden, but he never says to take from others.

For the record I support a much stronger safety net and extreme taxation of extreme wealth, that's why I hype the American Solidarity Party so much. I just don't think Christ's teachings demand that. He demands that those people be generous.

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

If you think that's rough, spend the few minutes it takes to read through James. It's always good medicine for anyone with a high opinion of themselves.

sturg believes those people just didnt' want it bad enough. Their misery was their own fault, they didn't need work safety laws or minimum wage laws, or the right to unionize, it's just thier own lack of motivation for upwards mobility. He'd never work for under 7 dollars an hour.

Nope, because jesus was a hippie communist.

He also said render unto Caesar what is his (paraphrasing) so obviously he doesn't have issues with Government taxation.

I’m betting we have all worked for under 7 dollars an hour once in our lives.

I'm more a fan of the non-canonical gospels.

You're an idiot.

I worked several jobs for less than $7 an hour under the table. Worked minimum wage at target for years. Learned skills. Learned how to communicate. Learned how to manage different personalities. Worked since I was 13 and all through college. Now I'm in a well paid management role. Most anyone CAN do this... but it does take some effort, discipline, and suffering along the way.

Eh... Clement and Polycarp are where it's at if you're going non-canonical. The other stuff was wisely left out.

For the Lord Himself, being asked by a certain person when his kingdom would come, said, When the two shall be one, and the outside as the inside, and the male with the female, neither male or female.

Don't be jealous.

By the way, I kinda laugh when Schumer wants to cancel $50k of my opthomologist wife's student debt... she of course doesn't need any help, but the dems are always up for helping well off white people
