Re: Roman Catholic seeks salvation

True communists hold nothing against people of other faiths.

Do I understand correctly that you believe communism to be a religion? Many do, but it is a false religion. Why do you reckon it has never worked? It seems like every communist apologist I have ever heard of blames something along the lines of "we had the wrong people in charge". Who are the right people? Your religion seems a delicate thing.

I never said religion was a religion. I said above that it is an economic system.

An economic system that has never come close to actually existing. Dictators like Stalin and Mao ruined the name for us and gave us a bad reputation.

When I say "other faiths" I mean "different faiths." Maybe I should been more specific:

People who truly support the ideology that strives for a classless society that requires living in the economic system known as communism, hold no ill will against people of any faith. Individual communists can be and are of different religious backgrounds--by extension, they have no anger toward individuals whose beliefs differ from their own. Rather, they work together for the betterment of not only the only working class, but of everyone in general.

Communism is not a religion nor does it seek to interfere with or associate with religion. But Marx made sure to explain in his book that the communist ideology in fact favors the idea of free, unoppressed, religious practice.

Re: Roman Catholic seeks salivation

Could you share with us some examples of successful adoption of communism? It has been around now for 150 years or so. Surely, someone has made it work somewhere. All we ever hear about is the unmitigated disasters.

The idea of communism has been around that long, sure.

But I can't give any good examples because, as I've repeatedly said, there aren't any. There aren't even any BAD examples of communism! It's all been falsely named dictatorships!

Everything people think of as communism is a lie. It's all been dictatorships and abuse of power from upper classes that don't want to give up their power for the good of the people.

A communist society has never existed, good nor bad. As long as social hierarchy and free markets exist, there is no communism.

"Communism" sounds like nothing more than a euphemism for homosexuality. This is nothing more than to rationalize the idea that everyone should take what he "needs" from the rectum of whomever he can catch.

Thank you, dear child! On the other hand, we could actually look at the very words of Karl Marx himself, here in American translation (Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right):

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.

This is in direct opposition of what we know is the True™ happiness in Jesus!

James 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.


Yours in Christ,

Except people actually need food. How are you not getting this? Why is everything you disagree with gay? How do you survive in this world, I'm astounded.

Marx was straight. Hegel, Wilde, the rest? All straight.

All he wanted, and all we want, is for everyone to be able to survive in the world and live decent lives. By aboloshing capitalism, that can happen. That's what communists believe.

Communism has literally nothing to do with intercourse of any kind, in any way. There are no euphemisms, no hidden agendas.

All we want is fairness for everyone.

That's demonstably untrue. If there was no agenda would the gaywise have been able to force sodomariage on this nation?

The gaywise don't work hard and so literally depend on government handouts, Obamacare and all manner of socialisticalism.

The gays want EVERYONE to follow them in their anal antics (funded by our taxes) where everyone is equally subjugated in having same sex weddings.

I'm glad I got divorced so that I don't have to share the same legal status as a bunch of militant homererotically oriented lefties.

Hello Commie,

As far as I can judge you don´t provide housing, healthcare or even food. Why don´t you put your abolished money where your mouth is and start providing these things?

I expect you to provide me a 14 acre piece of land, beach-front, with a 6 bedroom mansion, nice pool and all the extra´s and then the best foods I could imagine. The cooking I´ll do myself since I don´t trust you to make even a simple dish palatable. Healthcare I don´t need right now so you´re off the hook for that for now.

Show me that your communism works by providing what you claim you can provide.

Kind regards, Roland

Re: Roman Catholic seeks salvation

Except Jesus was a Jew, and so were all his followers. Christianity didn't develop until after His ascension, and the Apostles developed a new religion built around Him, preaching His word.

Also, it's known that Jesus was dead when the Apostles buried Him.

In Israel. With Israeli parents. Where everyone there was Israeli. White people were up in Europe getting taken over by the Roman Empire.

If Jesus were a joo(which He is not) then it would be called Jooistianity and not Christianity.
No., it was the joos that tried to kill Jesus. You should read about it., It is in the Bible. That is a thick book full of the stories of Christ and His adventures.

God is a Christian. God made everything. Therefore, Christianity has been around since God and the Beginning. About 6,000 years. Do you think God was undecided about His religion until he had Himself born as Jesus?

Tell me friend, are you on the drugs, like shooting the maryijannas?
