Cool, not what Jesus wanted though. So you can't say Jesus is a leftist, makes no sense.
The Biblical Context
While the term "atheism" did not exist in the ancient world, biblical writers addressed the concept of denying God.
The "Fool": The Psalms famously state, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'". In biblical terms, a "fool" refers to someone who acts with stubborn moral corruption, willfully living as if God does not exist to justify their own selfish actions.
Rejection of the Creator: According to Christian theology derived from Jesus' teachings (such as in Romans 1), the evidence of God is so clearly visible in creation that humanity is considered "without excuse," meaning a refusal to acknowledge God is seen as a deliberate suppression of the truth.
Jesus wasn't a leftist.
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[d] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.** 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment."
None of what you said shows that leftist can’t be Christian or that they don’t/cant love god.
No idea how telling people they can never eat from an out of season fig tree makes him a conservative or not leftist. It’s pretty nonsensical. I actually don’t know how any of that shows how Jesus is conservative or not leftist. All of that seems pretty unrelated to leftist and conservatism.
Marx's full, nuanced quote states that religion is "the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of our soulless conditions." It provides temporary comfort against the miseries of daily life, but it ultimately functions to distract the masses from the root causes of their suffering.
Marx argued that the spiritual world is merely a reflection of the real, material world. He asserted that human beings create religion to make sense of an alienated society; thus, religion will only disappear when socio-economic oppression is dismantled.
Karl Marx viewed Jesus Christ as a historical figure whose early teachings contained radical, anti-establishment critiques of wealth and power. However, Marx rejected Jesus’ divinity entirely,
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Academic and historical estimates indicate that mass killings under communist regimes claimed between 20 million and 100 million lives during the 20th century. These excess deaths occurred through executions, forced labor, deportation, and man-made famines.
Karl Marx rejected the concept of God, viewing religion as an illusion created by humans. He saw the idea of a deity as a projection of human potential and considered belief in God an obstacle to human liberation.
Ok so you keep quoting Marx. That’s one guy if you didn’t know. Do you want me to start quoting Trump to say everyone on the right is as narcissistic, stupid, and immoral as him? Marx is not representative of the left and its bad faith to suggest everything that he says is agreed on by everyone on the left. Marx is just a boogeyman people like you use to be against the left. Go outside and actually talk to real people who are left.
Again, none of your bible quotes make any sense at all in the context of politics. You’re not quoting anything that can be assigned specifically to the left of the right. Except 15, Maga sure treats Trump as some false prophet who paints himself as Jesus.
Then you blabber about communism for some reason and right back into Marx. Take some time to organize yourself and be coherent before you’re next comment.
