Gimme a break! Jesus was the original communist. Stalin and his pals didn't ban the Christian Churches in Russia and close them all down like the lies we were told,they just made "Russian Orthodox Priest" a KGB career field. Who better to take the confessions of the clueless?
Sneakypete said: And WHY do you think the Communists of today hate Christians so much?
Or,AFATG,why organized Christian dogma has so much hatred for communism?
It's because they are both selling the same product, and like every other business,they hate competition.
Sir Bohort: No, it’s because they both compete for men and women and they are incompatible. Communism is collectivism with allegiance to the state. Karl Marx was an atheist which might explain why his philosophy was materialist.
Christianity is individual rights and responsibilities with an allegiance to God and a focus on spiritual well-being and salvation.
Christianity is obeying God to love Him first, love your neighbor as yourself and be responsible. Communism is state control, obey the state. A Christian can love a communist but hate the system. Communism is hatred of individuality and love of state.
Christians value every individual because all of them are made in the image of God. Communists, being materialists, see the citizens as property. They can be purged like herds of cattle for the greater good of the state.
Christians have ultimate truths. Communists cannot accept any truth since everything must bend to the state's will.
But, when all is said and done, why do you think Jesus was a communist?
