A lot of people tend to misunderstand Marx when he said “religion is the opiate of the masses”.
When wielded by Antichrists, debauched degenerates and sociopaths - as the clergy of old or the new barons- it can be used as a weapon to subvert the people, to bring them to the sin of hatred for your fellow humans - which goes against the teachings of Christ.
But as we find in all religion, there isn’t one that goes against welfare - and especially not Christianity. Jesus was in the streets, feeding the poor, healing the sick and washing the feet of a sex worker.
Also, he was not killed by the Jews - but by imperialists. This alone should be the canary in the coal mine for the average Christian. The average doom sayer, fear mongerer and hate spreader defiles the teaching of Christ.
As Jesus said upon that cross: “forgive them, Lord - for they know not why they sin.” Well we know now, and the bible outlines who the Antichrists are - and they all wear fancy suits and have big bespoke Bibles.
To sin, from old Orthodox Greek, which the bible was written is defined as “missing the mark”. I.e doing something wrong. Christians who support imperialism are sinners. They could have just as easily been the ones who mounted Christ on that cross.
The one thing oligarchs and elites of the west fear the most is losing control of the theological narrative - for if people took to Christ’s teaching again, they’d find these people to be the golden calf Abraham warned against.
We’re due for a new reformation. A reformation of the people.
Seriously folks, tossing aside potential liberation theology allies is not praxis.
This.
