Is the bible left or right?

Been pondering after having my daily chuckle from "fucktard's" threads.
I'm seeing extreme left and alt right mindsets in our good book. (left and right by todays moral standards).
How would you guys classify it?
Mainly Socialist? Free bread and fish for all! or Alt Right? Kill everyone who doesn't subscribe to your way of thinking?
We know what the big Hitler asshole "Yahweh" thinks... "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." ( … because it's good for business! lol)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Its the worst of both worlds. A fascist screed propped up by appeals to the better nature and basest desires of the common man. A negotiation, if you think about it, between the authority it's authors wished for, and the mass of human volition required to achieve that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

Oh yeah, Jesus was a commie, before communism was even a thing. Though he also thought the world was going to end within a decade or two.....Probably why he didn't bother to ever wash his hands, either.
Imagine Jesus, then imagine him never cleaning himself, because what goes into your body can't defile you. Some say he was baptized. Others say his friends just dragged him into the lake and forced him to bathe once because he smelled so bad.

And we're assuming that a book with dozens of different authors, written over a minimum of six centuries maps cleanly onto the left/right political divide of two millennia afterward how?

On some level..I think that we would prefer the shitty bible cultists be wrong...rather than concede that the new magic book is just out of phase with us.
We want there to be a hippy jesus that makes the assholes wrong by their own standards...but there isn't. "Jesus" thought that a person from another tribe was a mongrel bitch, and used that language explicitly to justify his initial reluctance to save her daughters life with a miracle.
He used her willingness to grovel as an excuse to perform it.
-and he also said some shit that isn't flattering to rich people.
The character of christ in magic book was a product of it's time, not our time.

You can actually roll a halfway decent joint with a piece of paper from revelations. Dont try to use Isaiah though.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

Yeah, is the Jesus a republican or a democrat? Depends on who you are - it can go both ways. This is just one of many situations that show how Jesus is useless.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It has to be left, because it’s certainly not right.
