Jesus was a socialist at heart.

In many ways, I abhor the thinking of modern day conservative Christians. As for the liberals, I can tolerate them more easily. Because I think they have it right. They want to help the poor. While the conservatives tend to flock to the rich. I'm not a Christian. Used to be. I was raised in Sunday School. Even got comfirmed. And baptized. And all that stuff. But I soon learned that I didn't like much of what Christianity stood for. Selfishness. Greed. Capitalism. Exploitation. Oh, I like that fellow Jesus. And I'd gladly follow him. And become his friend. His buddy. But I have no desire to be a Christian. Because I think Jesus wouldn't want me to be one. Because the whole movement has been corrupted. It's not much like what Jesus would want it to be. He'd say that most so-called Christians have misconstrued his message. Yes, it's the poor we're supposed to help. Not the rich. Jesus was for the common good. He was a socialist at heart. --Jim Broede
