He also made the point many times that just possessing things encumbered you and tied you to the physical world. Tenchu, it was this very thing, picking and choosing the things that fit out of the Bible that led to my loss of faith. If you actually read and understand the teachings of Jesus, instead of looking for justifications, you'd realize that his followers were supposed to life a life of no possessions and at the service of others, particularly the poor and the powerless.

It is the owning nothing part that leans more Karl Marx than Adam Smith. The owning things in common and sharing according to each ones needs like the early Christians did is also.
