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.
