The little man deserved to be destroyed, if he was going to exploit the hunger of the masses by only feeding those who had the money.
You go, Jesus with your slight of hand.

Oh, please. That the earth isn't flat, 6 thousand years old and not the center of the Universe, would be news to the Tea Party.

Independent Film - Jesus Was a Commie (2011)
Storyline

Could it be argued that Jesus was a Communist? There's no question he was a revolutionary. But not with violence. His revolution involved a complete and dramatic change in the way people thought; progressive and liberal thinking. With no army and no weapons, he led a group of young people toward a new, more humane way of thinking; toward a philosophy of love and forgiveness. He may have been a supporter of a political ideology that advanced an egalitarian society based on common ownership of property. These are the ideas explored in the new avant-garde short film, JESUS WAS A COMMIE.

Funny you should say that. Most smug,comfy Christians (such as most of the ones we have here) choose to ignore the Marxist elements of 'primitive Christianity.' EG Jesus admonished his followers to give away all they owned to the poor.

He also said (from memory, so may not be entirely accurate);

Quote:Verily I say unto you "It is easier for a rich man to pass though the eye of a needle than for a camel to enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Somewhere in the Jerusalem (Catholic) bible)

Umm,that doesn't sound quite right to me.

Yeah I think he got that switched around. Need to juxtapose rich man and camel.

Does matter, Pad.

Plato thought of it several centuries before xtians stole it and put it into the mouth of their godboy.

Quote:In what follows it is shown that good men cannot be very rich nor very rich men good, therefore also the very rich cannot be happy.
