He was a socialist, though. even apart from political ideology, the bible portrays jesus as shirking and setting himself apart from the government of his time period, rebelling against the sensibilities and social expectations of his community, offhandedly resisting and discrediting its leaders, and staging both violent and nonviolent protests. he was a lot more than "progressive for his time" and way more radical than modern liberals who are largely comfortable with the current system and want to make small incremental changes --- I pray god will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in truth <cite>ultimate reaver posted [p:933988879] in If Jesus w...

Although he also said that it was important to follow the Law so he wasn't a modern Reform Jew either. He didn't stage violent protests or any organized protests at all.

Im definitely not religious and the Bible can suck it, but man, it is always amusing to see Breadline Bernouts that typically identify as Atheist and almost have as much of a disapproving view on Christianity as I happen to go on about what Jesus would and wouldnt do lol.

And using that single example and saying "Jesus staged violent protests" is just being dishonest. So is teaching differently from what the religious leaders taught. But to answer your second question also, you could get killed for a lot less back then than you could even go to jail for today in a western country.

lightwarrior78 02/05/20 9:29:05 PM #20:	I'm not a religious person, but I've always felt the rebuttal to that was in the 10 commandments: thou shalt not steal. Steal = to take which isn't yours. Yours is not whatever you can convince yourself is yours, but what someone is willing to give you in fair exchange. This doesn't let conservatives off the hook, but don't be surprised if every person looking to take from the wealthy to avoid a useful job of their own share the same room in the hell when the time comes. And remember, God is a force more powerful than mom and dad put together. He she or it will know if you're full of bullshit about your motives.
