I'd be a communistic Christian.

I often wonder why Christians and communists don't work out a deal. And form a coalition. And take over the world. I mean in the political, social, economic and religious senses. Christians and communists have so very much in common. Except in one matter. Christians believe in an abstract god. Communists tout themselves as godless in an equally abstract way. In virtually all other aspects of life, they are one and the same. They follow or advocate the teachings of Jesus. Jesus, after all, was a natural born socialist. Christians won't generally acknowledge that. Because Christians tend to be as closed-minded as communists. Which makes them bedfellows, of sort. They really are one and the same in both some real and abstract senses. In a way, Christianity has failed because it has been captured by the capitalists. By the world's economic exploiters. And the communists have failed because they have been captured by the world's atheists. Imagine a Christianity with a socialist doctrine. And then imagine communism with a monotheistic spiritual god. They would rapidly blend. Into one. That's the story of love. Two beings becoming one. Two ideologies becoming one. Helping and complementing each other. If that ever happens, I'll join up. I'll become a communistic Christian. --Jim Broede
