Jesus wasn't a socialist...he didn't endorse or reject specific policies regarding government. i dont know The Bible well enough to comment on that either way, but he definitely advocated social policy aligned with Socialism much more so than Capitalism. Jesus was all about taking care of the poor and feeding the hungry. the typical Conservative will reply that isn't the role of the state / government, it should be the role of charity. the problem is that there isn't enough charity to go around. there's a reason a lot of people rely on food stamps and not the local church to feed them. --- Playing: Yakuza 3; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:951387740] in Why do peo...

pure_temper 03/05/21 7:54:48 PM #58:	I do have more of a case that can be made. Basically two approaches, one from "religions are vehicles for class consciousness and therefore should be salvaged" and one from a purely scientific/probabilistic approach on "here's what moving up the Kardashev scale can tell us about the universe or our conception of God" But in neither case am I super interested in much depth if I get back just memes lol. --- proudclad LAYIN DOWN THE SMACK - Error1355 Christian Marxism actually makes sense.

Notti 03/07/21 5:10:50 AM #59:	pure_temper posted... The love for money is the root of all evil, and what do we know about the GOP machine? And the cronies in the DNC too, like Clinton? That they exist to empower themselves rather than all minds. The fruits of their actions and votes are clear. So how can anyone who claims to "love God" (whatever your definition of god) support a death cult? The Trump platform is a death cult and the polar opposite of what loving anyone could ever mean. And you could have $50 million in the bank and still be trash to Bezos or to Clinton or Trump or anyone else in that machine.

Yeah you're right. The American model with stronger safety nets and more diversity/inclusion is literally amazing and would be exactly what humanity needs, if we succeed at the Constitution (American Dream for all) Imo enlightened atheists who have understood the power of the Marxian framework AND have a background w/ becoming jaded because of poisoned religions should work to co-opt those institutions back from Kenneth Copeland, Joel Olsteen, other polluters. Leverage them for class consciousness instead. That's really the role of atheism imo. Except that was poisoned by billionaire pets like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins lmao. To make it about the debate / "winning" against those people. And as a result we now have a giant schism in humanity comparable to the false and stupid "socialism vs capitalism" debate lmao. --- proudclad LAYIN DOWN THE SMACK - Error1355 Christian Marxism actually makes sense.
