What prevents liberals from seeing truth?

[Lucrum]

The political model of the character Jesus as manifested in bible stories is quite clearly leftist, if not downright socialist....

BUT if he never existed, as you claim. Why quote him? In effect you're simply quoting those bronze age sheep herders who, according to you, pulled those stories out of their asses.
You might as well quote the tooth fairly or Santa Clause and try using that in your anti capitalist "arguments".

In one breath you're berating Christians for believing in Jesus. In the next you're quoting a nonexistent man and berating Christians for not following the teachings of that same nonexistent man.

How fucking stupid is that?


So...how about those tooth fairy quotes I asked you for? Give me some of her words to live by.

No question. Jesus was a leftist.

He was a radical socialist that even contradicted his father. In those times being rich was a way to be close to God and won favor from him. Jesus dispelled that myth when he said a rich man can would have a harder time getting into the kingdom of God than a camel pass through the eye of a needle.

But...but...your fellow leftists claim Jesus is a myth. Ergo anything he said or taught is also a myth. According to your fellow leftists.

He probably picked up this idea from the Eastern religions of the time where this concept of the distraction of wealth was central. It was one of things he learned during his missing years, along with some magic tricks which really helped impress his followers.

LOL Jesus tell you that himself did he?

Many year later the Beatles made the same trip. This is why John Lennon started looking so much like Jesus in his later years and why he was sacrificed.

That's the first I've heard of that conspiracy theory. Maybe you should publish it in pie hole's conservative mindset thread.

Tax collectors were sinners. Those most in need of repentance and salvation.
So be socialist all you want... but if you want to claim Jesus would like it.. make sure you have an unfettered right to love God, practice religion and do it without personal income taxes.

Why not?
What is this..your own personal "the first rule about no Jesus is, you don't talk about no Jesus" Club.

You must imagine people who say Santa ain't real can't quote Santa either.

How fucking stupid is that?

It's not a case of whether he would like it, in the bible Jesus is declared a socialist styled lefty.

As Wallet said:
"Typical, when the rebellious don’t like what Jesus says in condemnation, they misquote, taking out of context snippets of the Bible to reinforce their self-worship in an effort to ignore Divine authority.

Well done, you must have just done that again.

 

[jem]

no... you proclaimed him that.
if you read the bible in context you would understand that Jesus is not fond of men in political power. He advocates that the people take care of each other. He doesn't tell people to pay more taxes so Rome will take care of the poor.

Yes he advocated that people take of each other. Good to hear jem understands this. Because he is confused about many things. The best way to take of people that all belong to one nation is a nationwide centralized welfare system. It is the most efficient and evenly applied regardless of location. Why the "Christian" libertarian righties don't understand this is a mystery. They talk the talk but don't really want to help people in a practical way.

 

[Lucrum]

Why not?

Because according to you he's not real?

Pratfall.
You wanna give it another go?

And how about those tooth fairly quotes? What's the hold up?

 

[jem]

because wise people understand that power corrupts... always. And big govt is the least efficient and least fair way of doing things historically.

The Soviet Union, easter block, venezuela, cuba, china. What thinking person would want to surrender control of the liberty to one centralized group of men.

Remember this when some know nothing liberal starts mouthing off about a republican southern strategy.
