What political party would jesus join?
Grant it this bridges into politics, but since it is a question of what Jesus's philosophical views would lead him to I think it belongs here. Mod's feel free to move if you disagree.
If one were to sum up the teachings of Jesus what political party would he join/form of government would he favor?
After getting into may arguments with friends I am still convinced that Jesus would be a socialist. His teachings show that we have a personal responsibility to each other and should share our wealth with others. Case in point the story of "The Rich Man and Lazarus" Luke 16 19:31. Based on this story alone I can rule out republican since the Reagan era "trickle down economics” is pretty much like eating scraps from a table.
Just curious what others think, why aren't more Christians Socialists?
