Please go read the Bible lol Every single moral value that Jesus preaches is like a straight up pillar of socialist ideals. Feed the hungry, house the homeless, cloth the naked, etc etc. If you extrapolate these ideals to the rest of society...what do you get? Definitely not capitalism!
Man I don't even know where to start with this comment. I'm not sure when we say socialism we are even talking about the same thing first of all.
Second of all of course Jesus was not literally a socialist - that didnt exist when he was alive. But if you extrapolate the underlying vibe of the lessons Jesus taught they are ones of empathy and community.
It's always y'all religious types that bastardize and twist your texts to match whatever flavor of mental illness you have. Respectfully Jesus would find you to be a charlatan lmao.
Or maybe when you make right wing chud arguments that are almost incoherent I assume you're a right wing chud.
You're out here larping as a bible thumper and think its a gotcha when people think that's reflective of your world view. Brother I dont know who the fuck you are am I supposed to just assume everyone is out here making disingenuous devils advocate arguments all the time or something?
lol
It is about that in the surface, sure. But when you look at the context, it's one of many times the pharisees tried to get Jesus to either go against the Roman empire, so they could get him killed for it, or go against God, so they could exile him for it.
Clearly one of us is misunderstanding socialist ideals, because I would say socialists tend to be the ones pushing the hardest for the highest taxes. Please explain why socialists, the community focused people who know no one can stand alone, would be against making sure everyone pitches in to help the poorest people.
You should really actually give the gospels are serious read before making that kind of claim. Not saying you've never read any of the Bible, but I am saying that I don't see a way to have genuinely read the gospels and come to the conclusion of "yeah, Jesus is all about the legalistic religion".
