I think you will notice from the other responses that we actually don't discuss religion here.. He was making a point on the ideal of communal spirit of sharing (communism) ... which like everything else including religion gets perverted.. by our species..

Almost anything else seems to be fair game..

discussing religion tends to make everyone crazy... believers and non believers alike..

'Jesus Was A Commie': Matthew Modine's New Short Film

First Posted: 11/ 1/11 02:29 PM ET Updated: 11/ 1/11 04:57 PM ET

When times are tough, many turn to religion. And with a world in turmoil, from roiled economic markets to spoiled environment, Matthew Modine is turning to Jesus. But instead of prayer, he's offering analysis and a compelling argument.

Modine is on tour with his new short film, "Jesus Was a Communist," which offers a discussion of the New Testament's messages in the context of poverty, pollution and political unrest. A selection at film festivals throughout the world, the message the veteran actor is presenting also address the Occupy Wall Street movement happening throughout the world and how it relates to the Bible.

"His revolution involved a dramatic change in the way people thought; progressive and liberal thinking in a time of Empire," the film's synopsis reads. "With no army and no weapons, he led people toward a new, more humane way of thinking; toward a philosophy of love and forgiveness. These are ideas explored at this very moment in lower Manhattan and by thousands of American's across the United States."

Check out a trailer for the film.

your post is totally irrelevant to the intend of my response to MQ and today Christianity "dogma" as you put it, has nothing to do with my post or the religion and the supposedly true believes of its founders, if they existed or did not exist which is irrelevant to the essence of my post.

There is archeological evidence that various similar social political movements sprung up in the region with various abilities to gain traction or success.

It was a period of classic transition from multiple “Gods” religions to monotheism and therefore the confusion related to the true narrative and historic accuracy, which has no importance as related to the essence of the message I conveyed in my post.

As my post had nothing to do with Christianity or religion your answer is way off.

no need to respond

Thank you
