Were Jesus to preach the same thing today as he did 2,000 years ago, the very same people who claim to speak for him would run the other way. Look at the way that a large number of American Catholics and Protestants have responded to Pope Francis. I mean, they’re calling him a Marxist, they’re calling him a socialist simply because he’s questioning the excess of capitalism. Well, if you’ve got a problem with Pope Francis, then you’ve got a problem with Jesus, because Jesus’s preachings are in absolute stark contrast to the unchecked capitalism that has created this massive gulf between the very rich and the very poor in the modern world. ~ Reza Aslan salon/2014/04/20/you_want_people_like_that_to_hate_you_reza_aslan_on_glenn_beck_that_fox_news_interview_and_who_gets_to_speak_for_jesus/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
