      Is he wrong though? Render unto Caesar, the croutons and the parmesan.

      Sure, but I did have some things in this direction that are consistent with communism. Let’s say he was a proto-communist, maybe if he had read Marx…

          It isn’t at all what he said. Read the whole Bible, and compare it to other religions. It’s all about theocracists struggling to maintain power while also being reactionary assholes in comparison to even other religions. Beginning by how the father of Jesus will make every race to be SLAVES of the descendants of Abraham/Jacob, to the “most perfect and loving man ever being the son of God” being a racist ididiotic sexist asshole.

            Christians like to pretend Old Testament don’t exist. I wonder what their (reminder: omniscient) god have to say about it?

            Oh yeah:

            “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” — MATTHEW 5:17-20

          The general ideology of putting an end to social injustices was quite clear, although it is clear that in society at that time it could only pretend to move in the margins of the possible and walk on lead feet. Even so, it has been the victim of a tremendously retrograde society with Abrahamic laws and occupied by the Romans in an oppressed society. It is enough to see the ideology of the ultra-orthodox Jews today, which has changed little since then, to know that a drastic change was impossible and would not even have been understood by the population, who already had problems with the few advances that he proposed, as has been shown. Sort of like traveling to a Taliban settlement and promoting the communist manifesto.

        Protocommunist. Yeah. That’s why he was into full theocracist, never condemned slavery, wanted women to be subjected, considered non of their own ethnicity to be worthless dogs, spread anti-scientist bullshit and even wanted poor people to give everything they had to the temple, and to wait for the end of the world to come and the paradise was described as a theocracist / monarchist utopia. Also he said again and again how you had to believe in Moses and the “Law”, being Deuteronomy and Leviticus.

        Meanwhile, there was Zoroaster, who condemned slavery, being waaaaaaaaaaay more “commmunist” than Jesus, and even the religion is so ancient that Hebrews copied them.

          This is what the bible describes, as I said edited and censored by the clergy, much later. None of the current evangeliso was written at the time when such a character lived, all of them date from between 100 and 300 AD. Although the recently discovered Dead Sea scrolls describe this character quite differently, many of these scrolls were therefore immediately removed to the Vatican cellars. What continues to spread was what you describe, but it sure does not coincide with the facts spread by the first Christians, Gnostics, they were even eliminated and persecuted by the church, precisely because they denied its authorship, believing that all humans, whether men or women, they are equal because the same divine spirit reigns in all of them, which requires neither spokespersons nor temples. This naturally was declared as heresy by the ecclesiastical hierarchy, when questioning its existence. The same ones that later set themselves up as the absolute leaders of Christianity, using grossly forged documents (Donatio Constantini) that were later even approved by dictators throughout history, the last Mussolini. That is to say, the church is a monumental fraud from start to finish, a simple instrument of power to keep the people submissive and ignorant, the only proposit.

            Regarding ancient Christians, they were not much different from Johnstown, if you search for it…
