    This comic is no good for several reasons. One thing that seems immediately telling is that the preacher is by himself trying to explain to the masses what the issue really is. This comics seems to infer “the group is right, and the 1 preacher is wrong”. “The group” obviously representing “the world”.

    But at the end Jesus joins the world and not the preacher preaching (almost) correct doctrine? (I dont think God necessarily has anything against ‘socialism’".) OK, I dont think Jesus would join either party, but rather lead them both.

    Anyway, of course healthcare and feeding kids and legal immigration are all very good things. The poor, sick, and strangers should be treated with Christian charity, the real kind.

    The most telling part of the comic is this: " do you wanna take that back? I’m sure we’re on the side of christ here"

    This kinda reminds me of the story if the pharisees. The pharisees also thought they were on God’s side.

    The road is broad but few travel. Heaven is harder to enter than an eye of a needle.

    The goal is to be like Christ, and thats my prayer and desire, and I fail constantly… trick is, act lovingly, and thats acting like Christ. Lord let us love.

      Ooph, when it’s impossible to tell if someone is shitposting or just genuinely religious.

      The group is obviously representing progressives not the world. Made-up Jesus would definitely be on the side of progressive because in his story he was also a progressive.

      The juxtapose is a preacher preaching hate pretending to have Jesus on their side
