minus-squareTechyDadlinkfedilink60•8 months agoI'm Jewish, and thus not an expert on Jesus by any means. Still, even I know that Biblical Jesus would be a socialist today, not a Republican. He gave out free healthcare. He fed the hungry without charging them. He hung around people who were on the fringes of society. He worked against the wealthy. If Biblical Jesus were to magically appear in modern society, the only reason he would enter a MAGA church would be to flip a few tables.
