  • It’s not socialism either. It’s biblical law. Nothing more. Now, pay attention here, because he also said:

    Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God 's.”

    This is clearly about taxes. And as we all know… taxes are a pretty popular socialist repellant.

    And then there’s also this:

    Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those which exist are established by God

    Definitely not very socialist to subject people to the whim of big government.

    I’ll digress.

    We should keep in mind, this is all according to scripture- the words he spoke- which weren’t written until 20 years after he died (if it helps for perspective: try quoting a tv show you saw once, 20 years ago- and come back and tell me a what a single character said. Think you’ll have enough to fill several hundred pages? Now add two centuries of people from different walks of life, with different agendas- trying to decipher the quotes to mean what helps them win an argument).

    Fro m where I see it, Jesus didn’t give fuck all about socialism. He just cared if people were following gods orders.

    (Also not very socialist)

    I get that you all think this is a great “gotcha” for your team, but anyone that knows better, doesn’t take it even remotely seriously- which come think of it, is probably why you all do.

    And finally, I’ll leave you with this quote from Penn Jillette:

    It’s amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.”

    People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we’re compassionate we’ll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint.
