Democratic socialism & Bible share a similar vision

I’ve actually argued this is the case for a long time and believe it to be true. I think heaven will be a socialist’s paradise and I’m ok with that.

But the same bible says not to have gay sex, unmarried sex, lust, steal, break the law, be lazy, be unemployed, not value life, cheat on taxes, be greedy, be envious of other’s possessions, and a bunch of other stuff that aren’t applicable to her entire world view.

While I do think we need to be infinitely more charitable, it doesn’t say taking away from my neighbor to do that.

I’m not saying republicans are any better, but personal responsibility is in the New Testament bigly.
