Stop painting Jesus as a communist figure. He’s not. He and all other Abrahamic religious figures are the enemy of communism and must be destroyed along with the billionaires. Communist Jesus is as much of a modern fabrication as White Jesus is.

The idea that the guy who literally started a 2000+ year cult revolving around “worship me or go to the lake of fire” and whose teachings have been used to justify everything from slavery, to colonialism and destruction of non-Christian cultures, to burning people for heresy; has anything to do with communism is fucking ridiculous. Have you ever actually read the bible? I have, he’s still an insufferable piece of shit by modern standards, just because he’s less of a piece of shit than all the other religious leaders he interacted with doesn’t make him a good person. Also, the Bible is pretty damn unreliable as a source for how the Jewish leadership of the time actually acted, since the entire book is framed as “look how much they suck and how much better Jesus is, now reject Judaism and worship him.” Of course they’ll paint the Jews they’re trying to break away from in the worst possible way and Jesus in the best possible way, and even with their best efforts to make him the “perfect human who never sins” there are still plenty of instances of him being an asshole.

@HiddenLayer555 sighhhh.

He’s not.

Liberation theology would disagree.

The idea that the guy who literally started...

No, he didn't. That didn't come about until Dante in the 13th century.

Have you ever actually read the bible? I have

No, you clearly have not lmao

Who gives a shit. "Opium of the masses" doesn't mean what you think it means. Stop dividing the working class; militant atheism died on Reddit a decade ago for very good reason. These days, Marxists support religious freedom.
