A timely and much needed post when Enoch in Ireland is being prevented from celebrating Christmas with his family cos he was jailed for calling a boy a boy instead of them.
The essence of Communism is: From each according to their ability - to each according to their need. Jesus lived that way of life while on Earth. He gave everything - even his life on The Cross - but took very little from the world. Marx's beef was more with Religion not God. More people on Earth have died from RELIGIOUS WARS AND VIOLENCE than have died from Communism because religion is a lot older than Communism and Socialism. All of the countries that you mentioned that you say persecute Christians were invaded and colonised by those who called themselves Christians or who thought that they had God and Jesus on their side while their victims didn't. Amen?
This is inaccurate Michael. The university of Hawaii did a study which proved more people were killed by communist and nazi regimes than by Christians at any time period. Enjoy your advent .
Be accurate! The study you mention juxtaposed the number of people killed by War and the number killed by Governments. "Christians" were never even mentioned in the U. of Hawaii Study. Communism is an concept. Concepts do not kill. People kill. Like the Christian Crusaders who committed murder in The Holy Land in The Name of Jesus who once said: "Love your enemies." (Matthew 5:44) Spend your Advent re-reading the U of Hawaii Study. Amen?
