Why do Socialists hate Jesus?
We don’t. In fact, the author of this response is a Christian. It is the apostle Paul who asserts that “the love of money is the root of all evil” – a verse the capitalists seem always to ignore. It is also interesting to note that history’s first glimpse of a Socialist society is recorded by Luke in the book of Acts: Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
