Jesus was a Socialist

First, I’m a Pagan.  But I’ve read a lot of the Bible and I think it’s pretty evident Jesus would NOT have supported the situation now.  It’s hard to relate modern money changeing on the scale today to then.  And Jesus would have been ok with a little competition- but I really think he was mostly for equality (at least as far as healthcare and basic human needs)

Yep

Jesus wasn't even a real person first of all. Second of all he may have more in common with socialists than capitalists but he would have lived in a time before socialism was really a thing.

True, although one could of course argue that resistance to class oppression has always existed, even back in the days of Jesus's mythical (IMO) existence.

Definitely, but that doesn't make it socialism obviously. Even feudalism and capitalism were born out of class struggle.

This atheist thinks Jesus, the long haired hippy liberal was real. He just wasn't the "Son of God" he's made out to be. Just a charismatic guy who gathered a following and had much of the same "liberalities" the left has today. You know, feed the poor, take care of the sick, respect women, fight the "money changers" and nasty capitalists that take advantage of the working class, etc.. A good guy, allegedly. Obviously a socialist. I think I'd like him 'cause he'd hate outlaw and his kind.

A guy myths are made of. We could use more libs like him! ;-)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
