Why does someone such as yourself have to be afraid they are being rude when you are 100% correct? Jesus? There are many Jesus! There is the Jewish Jesus. early church Jesus, the Coptic Jesus, the orthodox Jesus, the white Jesus, the black Jesus, the Buddha Jesus, all the regular church Jesus, the plastic Jesus. No Jesus ever was a Karl Marx, not to mention, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky or Mao. The convoluted nature of America's left would make this popular as a feel goo topic but the truth is there is not Communist Jesus, most communists do not go to a Christian church, and rebellion and revolutions do not begin in churches as they are the brick and mortar business in America of religion, that has become a 12 ring circus, where some churches require credit check, and they regularly marginalize their own life time members for very petty reasons as dictated by many subtle forms of reactionary religious thought (eg positive thinking, or life style issues such as dress demeanor and state of mind.
