Was Jesus a liberal or a conservative?

schmokljan said:P.S. The real asylum here is actually the editorial policy of this forum—this entire thread was tossed into the madhouse simply because some people find it intolerable to discuss Jesus with even a hint of irony.

Honestly, I’ve got to say, the sheer incompetence of the moderation here is pretty startling; they have this warped vision of free speech where a topic needs to be half-censored just because the focus happens to be Jesus. 😕 Of course, nobody bothered to explain which specific subforum rule was supposedly broken, but then again, who in America actually expects the authorities to explain or justify their decisions once they get a taste of power? 😉

It’s also consistently fascinating to watch the endless stream of people who have no clue what a constructive debate looks like, constantly trying to turn every single discussion into a total clusterfuck.

Anyway, back to the point—could you please walk us through your actual position, Paradox? Or do you honestly think it’s enough to just drop a label like "definitely a right-winger" and walk away without providing a shred of proof or argument? 🙂

Matthew Wright2 said:Jesus was all about that brotherhood and unity vibe between nations—basically preaching total equality for everyone, you know? Like, a completely classless society.

It’s pretty obvious the guy was a communist at heart.

I mean, he’s basically rocking a red cap and jacket, and even one of those reindeer pulling his sleigh has a bright red nose!

Total leftist energy right there.

Total leftist, if you ask me.

😬 Wait, are you actually describing Santa Claus? You know, that classic American icon?

What kind of nonsense topics are we even covering here? It’s just mindless noise. Any proud American who holds their faith close to their heart knows how to distinguish what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God.😁That’s the thing—He wasn't concerned with politics. But if you want to dodge a jail sentence for tax evasion, you suppose you have to pay up for everything that's been piled onto the public for centuries. Meanwhile, the elite get to ride around in carriages pulled by slaves or elephants, whereas nowadays they just cruise in armored Audis and BMWs. I guess a single one of those cars costs about as much as a worker's entire forty-year career salary.

So, how exactly does that link back to communism?

That sounds like someone with some pretty progressive leanings to me!

Well, talk about losing your grip on reality!

What kind of reindeer are we talking about here? Maybe you mean a Budweiser deer? (Wait, are Jews even allowed to drink alcohol?)

Remember, Jesus lived out in the middle of nowhere just like where you are right now, riding camels through the desert. There's no way he ever laid eyes on a reindeer.

Just vanish along with those mindless questions!

Don't go quoting my posts, and please, don't quote me!

Got it?

Matthew Wright2 said:Just disappear along with all those mindless questions!

Don't quote my posts, and don't bother quoting me.

Clear?

😬 Look at him over here, acting like he's running some Stalinist purge... why don't you just head out to a remote Alaskan wilderness camp and put in some hard labor there. Just freeze there.😬 I mean, seriously, just go away and deal with your own mess; the folks up north have seen enough of that red ideology.😬

Who on earth asked for your unsolicited opinion anyway?

Are you acting as his legal counsel now?

I'll quote whoever I feel like, whenever I want.👍
It’s not like we're in the Wild West anymore.😁
The fact that you can't answer a perfectly legitimate question? That's on you.

...but then again, for people like you, that was never really an issue to begin with.👎
A bullet to the head and the questions stop being a problem.👎

Alright, everyone! Let's keep the trolling to a minimum, please.

Thanks.

Haha, nope! I’m talking about Jesus. You know—the guy who totally wrecked those Martians.

I really feel like you’ve drifted quite a bit from where you originally started! It’s almost like watching a ship lose its heading in the middle of the Atlantic; you were sailing in one very specific direction, but now you seem to be catching a completely different current altogether. 😁
Honestly, the fact that you can’t seem to provide an answer to such a perfectly legitimate question—it really is your own hurdle to clear! It's like someone standing in front of a wide-open door but refusing to turn the handle; at some point, you have to realize that the lack of progress isn't because the door is locked, but simply because you aren't taking the step required to walk through it.

To be perfectly honest, people like you have never actually been an issue for me!👎
It’s like when you’re dealing with someone who just won't stop debating every single point, and you reach that breaking point where you realize there’s simply no more room for dialogue—you just want to deliver one final, decisive blow to end the argument once and for all! 👎

Look, if you’re just going to put me on ignore and keep firing off these completely pointless questions, then let's just call it a day right now!

Matthew Wright2 said:Look, Jesus lived out in the middle of nowhere just like you're doing now—riding camels and all! He definitely wasn't out there spotting any deer.

🙂 in India

Honestly, if you think about it, Santa Claus is really just some jolly, slightly tipsy blend of a Finnish guy and someone from Lapland.

I honestly can't even deal with looking at those files of yours, because they're all asking for Flash Player 9! I’m just a simple, old-school guy over here running a Linux setup that hasn't seen an update since last week.

He was an absolute legend, even if people didn't call him that back before the turn of the millennium. But honestly, his actions spoke way louder than any title ever could. Even the way his life ended tells you everything you need to know about his character—he refused to take credit for his work, even if it cost him everything. I mean, he fed the hungry, gave water to the thirsty, and healed the sick... do we really need more proof than that? Plus, the guy had zero interest in chasing money. Why else would he be out there flipping tables at the temple entrance?

Jesus really just wanted people to try living with some integrity and basic decency.
He accepted everyone, but I honestly think he turned his back on those who were unfairly forcing common folks to pay taxes.

If you look at it, he was essentially a radical, wasn't he? Someone who stood up against the established norms.
The "norms" back then were things I’d consider downright inhumane by today's standards... like turning away the sick, or watching people get thrown to animals in arenas just for some twisted version of spectator sports.

Matthew Wright2 said:Man, I can't even deal with your files—they're asking for Flash Player 9, and honestly, I'm just some old-school tech dinosaur running a Linux distro that hasn't seen an update since last Tuesday.

"Dude, Santa is basically Indian! Just think about it... the huge belly, the massive beard, the tacky outfit; totally Indian!"

Wine? No way! I’d honestly rather cut off my own hand than deal with installing Wine, seriously!

I refuse to put any of that Windows Frankenstein crap on my Linux system.
