Are you kidding me? how many times do you guys have to be schooled on this before you stop trolling this to death? The church is not the federal government , the church does not forcibly take your money from you. NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY THAT WE ARE TO DELEGATE OUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES TO A BLOATED ,WASTEFULL, CORRUPT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!! We are in fact commanded to be good stewards of our finances, that pretty much negates the federal government.
Exactly!!!! Why can you liberals not understand this? It is such a basic and straightforward concept.
I'm not in any way a religious person but it would seem to me that people who claim to be religious would believe in the availablilty of healthcare for all. Did Jesus say no to the less fortunate or did he heal them as well? Don't church members pay "tithes" 'cough' taxes 'cough' to the church which are used to fund programs that the entire congregation benefits from? Does that make Jesus a tax and spend liberal? Would Jesus have sided with corporations or the common man? Since the right widly throws the word socialism around as slander, please explain to me how this works. I know it would require a conservative religious person with common sense and the rare ability to tell the truth, so I wont hold my breath.
Jesus was 100% the first Scandinavian socialist [very similar to their compassionate social system] we know of who shared his loaf of bread with thousands instead of keeping it only to himself. Pontus Pilate can here be seen as a perfect capitalist, destroying these ideals of sharing and viewing it as a threat to Roman rule that would eventually destroy them.
Jesus probably was the initiator for the idea of socialism that caused it to strike roots in Europe. Since Europe comprise of nations with very old traditions and history that would follow Christian concepts (well, to some respect the best they could) which comprise of helping your fellow man, love them not hate them, accept everyone, help those who are weaker than you, share with your brethrens, and so forth.

Jesus = first socialist party leader.
Absolutely the most idiotic statement ever posted in CD.
^I have to agree. Jesus may have had ideals that fall inline with a certain way of thinking (in a modern sense) but to associate him with a political party is...kinda weird.

What's truly weird is not associating Jesus with socialistic ideals - but that you think socialism is politics!
Socialism is an economical system, not political rule.
Learn the difference between communism and socialism. Most americans don't even know!
It's amazing that people keep on saying this lie.
If Jesus is God, how can God be jewish and preach christianity?
If Jesus is God, he can't be a religious person he's God
Jesus was born and died a Jew. The Last Supper was actually a Passover Seder, as a matter of fact. Christianity is not the religion of Jesus; it is that of the worshippers of Jesus.
There was no such thing as Christianity until Jesus died. His teachings were labeled Christianity by his followers. Christianity was a new religion and it was so from the day after the death of Jesus.
