It sure sounds like socialism is biblical in origin. It may not be the Marxist stuff tossed around today, but its roots are evident in Jesus' teachings.

Matthew 20:1-16: The vineyard workers are all paid the same daily wage, whatever hours they worked.
2 Corinthians 8:13-15 (Paul): "The goal is equality... The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."
Leviticus 25 (Old Testament background): The Jubilee year, when land went back to its original families and debts were forgiven.
Matthew 25:35-40: "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Luke 3:11 (John the Baptist): "Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none."
Luke 4:18: Jesus opens his ministry by saying he was anointed "to proclaim good news to the poor... to set the oppressed free."
Luke 6:20, 24: "Blessed are you who are poor... But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort."
Matthew 19:21-24: To the rich young man: "Sell your possessions and give to the poor." Then: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
Luke 12:15-21: The parable of the rich fool, who hoards grain and dies that night.
Luke 16:19-31: The rich man and Lazarus.
Matthew 6:24: "You cannot serve both God and money."
Acts 2:44-45: "All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need."
Acts 4:32-35: "No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own... there were no needy persons among them," with proceeds "distributed to anyone who had need."

I'm not sure what the problem is.

Nobody has ever actually heard God's voice. If you are convinced you have heard god's voice, then you're locked up.

Please stop with religion in government. It is the greatest hoax ever perpetuated.

Yet the leader of the MAGA has been referenced in the Epstein files numerous times. Even a part where he complains about a girl giving him oral and biting him.

MAGA is pro pedo. Hell, a lot of dems are too. Time to wipe the slate clean.

Religious studies should be a minor. Who tf majors in mythology?

Which gospel did I distort? Peter and Judas didn't believe Jesus Cristo was the son of a god, because they denied and betrayed him. They had first-hand knowledge. Still had doubts after allegedly seeing miracles that were written a few hundred years after they happen. I provided biblical proof (funny, coming from mythology text) that Jesus was the first socialist. Magats can't handle it.

Talarico is more like Jesus than any other candidate. If you love Jesus, not just the one crossing the border, you vote Talarico.

So you think Jesus was wacko? Interesting.

Correct. My bad.

All the mythology surrounding who he was is what I am referring to.

Jesus, after his sojourn to East Asia, was a little too caught up in himself and thought he was the Son of god. Didn't exactly cling to those teaching in that aspect. Overall, a good dude. Talarico is more similar to him than Paxfraud. If you are a christian, you vote Talarico.

Xi always beats trump. I hate having a leader who bends the knee to other strong leaders.

Never been that much into mythology. You could say the same about my understanding of the Iliad.

We're all sinners according to christian mythology.

Jesus was the first socialist. Why can't Talarico be Christian again?



The rich young ruler (Mark 10:21-25): Jesus tells a wealthy man to sell everything and give to the poor, then says it's easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom.
His mission statement (Luke 4:18-19): He announces he came to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed, and proclaims "the year of the Lord's favor," which many read as a reference to the Jubilee, when debts were canceled and land returned.
Blessings and woes (Luke 6:20-25): "Blessed are you who are poor" is paired with "woe to you who are rich," framing wealth and poverty in economic, not just spiritual, terms.
The least of these (Matthew 25:31-46): People are judged by whether they fed the hungry, clothed the naked, and cared for the sick and imprisoned.
Laborers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16): Workers hired late in the day get the same wage as those who worked all day, which some read as pay based on need rather than output.
The rich fool (Luke 12:15-21): A man who hoards his surplus harvest is called a fool.
Clearing the temple (Matthew 21:12-13): Jesus drives out money changers, often read as a rebuke of profiteering.
The early church (Acts 2:44-45, 4:32-35): His followers held possessions in common and distributed to anyone in need. This comes after Jesus's life, but it's frequently cited as how his first disciples understood his teaching.

Here are things done by Christians for mythological dude.

Persecution of Jews

Rhineland massacres (1096): Crusader bands on the way to the First Crusade killed thousands of Jews in Mainz, Worms, Speyer and Cologne.
Expulsions: Jews were expelled from England (1290), France (repeatedly, notably 1306 and 1394), and Spain (1492), where they had to convert or leave.
Blood libel and pogroms: False accusations of ritual murder (e.g., William of Norwich, 1144; Simon of Trent, 1475) led to massacres. Jews were also blamed and killed during the Black Death (1348–1351).
Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions: These targeted conversos (Jewish converts and their descendants) suspected of secretly practicing Judaism, using torture and public executions (autos-da-fé).

Persecution of Muslims

The Crusades: One example is the massacre of Jerusalem's Muslim and Jewish inhabitants in 1099.
Forced conversion and expulsion of the Moriscos in Spain: Conversion was forced in the early 1500s, followed by mass expulsion from 1609 to 1614.

Persecution of other Christians (heresy and sectarian conflict)

Albigensian Crusade (1209–1229): A papally sanctioned war against the Cathars in southern France, including the massacre at Béziers.
Medieval Inquisition: It was set up to root out heresy and targeted Cathars, Waldensians and others.
Execution of reformers: Jan Hus was burned at the stake in 1415, and William Tyndale was executed in 1536.
Wars of Religion: The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of Huguenots (1572) is one example. The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) was partly religious.
Persecution of Anabaptists: Catholics and Protestants alike persecuted them, often by drowning or burning.
Mutual persecution in England: Protestants were burned under Mary I, and Catholics were executed under Elizabeth I.
Salem witch trials (1692) and the broader European witch hunts: tens of thousands were executed from the 15th to 17th centuries.

Colonial and indigenous contexts

Spanish conquest of the Americas: Forced conversion was justified in part by religious mandate (e.g., the Requerimiento).
Goa Inquisition (1560–1812): Portuguese authorities in India persecuted Hindus, Muslims, Jews and converts.
Residential and boarding schools: In Canada, the U.S. and Australia, many of these were church-run. They suppressed Indigenous religions and cultures, and many children suffered abuse and died there.

Modern examples

Anti-LGBTQ violence and laws: Some have been justified by Christian rhetoric, for example Uganda's anti-homosexuality legislation, which some U.S. evangelical groups supported.
Lord's Resistance Army (Uganda): The group invoked a distorted Christian framing while committing mass atrocities.
Srebrenica massacre (1995): Bosnian Serb forces killed about 8,000 Muslim men and boys. Religious identity was intertwined with ethnic nationalism in the killings.
