How Christian is that?

When asked what one must do to follow him, Jesus told the rich young man that he was to give his riches to the poor and live like the rest of His followers. In the Acts of the Apostles we learn that they lived a communal lifestyle. The early Christians gave their belongings to the community that then shared the communal goods with each individual according to need. The example being set was to avoid greed. The ugly truth that the holier-than-thou crowd refuses to face is the fact that today’s “Christians” would ridicule Jesus’ teachings as communist crap. Today’s spiritual leaders preach a gospel of greed. Mr. Bush, he of the forked tongue, makes much of his faith in the teachings of Jesus. Somehow he sees no irony in referring to his people as the “haves and have mores”
How Christian is it to force the loss of services to the poor by giving tax breaks to the mega-wealthy? Yes, government services are socialist programs, but they are also Christ-like services. Unlike today’s pseudo Christians who get all worked up about the need for chastity, Jesus preferred to focus on charity. When asked what to do about the woman who was caught committing adultery, Jesus told those who were anxious to follow the letter of the law and stone the woman that he who is without sin should throw the first stone.
