Jesus & Socialism on WeNeedThisNow
On WeNeedThisNow there is a terrific post about Jesus and Socialism. It’s balanced and well thought out. And the author is funny. This is one of the most sensible things I have read throughout this entire election season.
Therefore the best thing to do is eat your Oreos and share with your friends. Children are taught this yet we adults think it’s childish? Do you actually think that the need for socialism or class struggle would be necessary if we shared FREELY (That is the most important part, the word freely). Does it mean that there would be a Utopia? No. Does it mean that there would not be the poor? No, but there would most likely be less poor. Does it mean that we would live happily ever after? No. Does it mean that there would not be wars? No, but maybe less wars….maybe. Does it mean that our friends and we would enjoy each other more? I think so. Does it mean it would end greed? No, but it might lessen it. Does it mean that we would have all that we ever wished for? Nope, but we might have more of what we wished for.
I agree that a generally more generous attitude would do much to alleviate the tension and stress in our lives and in our country. Our greed and lack of any sense of responsibility for each other is callous and self-defeating. We’ll never have “enough” if we don’t open our hearts, minds, and sometimes even (God forbid!) our wallets to one another. Most people are decent human beings who would not take advantage. There is plenty to go around. Give and it shall be given unto you.
