Republican Jesus
Lately I’ve been thinking about how I love Jesus, because Jesus he was a dirty homeless, hippy peace activist and he said drop out to find god to anybody who would listen while turning water into space bags with low life’s and anarchists
Protestant Ethic Jesus
Christians have had almost 20 centuries of time to prove that they're not conservatives. There is no more baby in the bathwater, it's all sediment now. Dump it.
For the first 2 or 3 centuries, the Christianities werent so bad.
But once the proto-orthodoxy movement got swept up in Constantine's military junta; the religion became the implement of sectarian, imperialist statism we all know and love today.
Notable exceptions, of course, for the Waldensians and the Quakers. More Christianities like those, pls thx
"fuck the poor" - Jesus (Matthew 26 verse 11)
It depends on how you interpret the text
Well now I want to see Liberal Jesus.
Metaphorically speaking Jesus was an anarchistic figure that symbolised freedom from slavery and all forms of oppression.
He rebelled against the monetary system, the religious institutions and the government of his time.
So they conspired together to have him executed by the police/military back then which was the Roman centurions.
• "The kingdom of God is within" was referring to internal monarchy, in other words everyone's divine birthright to rule over themselves and to not be ruled by anyone else.
• He went after the monetary system by whipping the moneychangers out of the temple and demonstrated the nonaggression principle, "Do no harm, but take no shit"
• He called out the religious grifters of his time "Woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!", "You snakes! You broods of vipers!"
• He gave people two simple commands to follow "Love the lord thy God with all your heart and love thy neighbour as you love thyself"
Despite all of this there are still so-called Christians to this day who support the monetary system, the religious institutions, the government and the police/military. Because they are statists.
Edit: For those who are interested check out Mark Passio's "Fake Ass Christians" presentation. He does a tremendous job explaining this.
