Jesus wasn't an economic symbol. Everything He did was social. He wasn't spreading Communism, He was spreading Responsibility, Integrity, Love, and Choice. Being forced to give money isn't exactly an act of love, but having the heart to give freely, that is what Jesus taught.

Dumbest off topic post I've seen. congrats.
-
Thanks, but I'm pretty sure it's on-topic, it was a response to half of his statement. But, you are entitled to your opinion.
-
Agreed.

If Jesus was spreading all the things that you listed, then the conservative christians in the offtopic would keep their mouths stapled shut about abortion and gay marriage. I believe he did, but when I see the conservative christians in this forum calling everyone stupid that doesn't believe in their ideas, it makes me wonder why Jesus didn't explicitly state things. Wait, he did.

I'd rather live without a dad(I'm technically doing that right now) than not have a say in whether I live or die.
-
No, he wouldn't, but he certainly wouldn't support abortions as the alternative.

Perfect example as to why the Bible is outdated.
-
It's not outdated, it gives you enough guidance to know what to do in today's situations and issues. We just try to justify ourselves by saying it doesn't apply to today in any way, when in fact more scripture is being proven today than you might think.

Forcing people to give to poor: communism Giving to the poor on your own: generosity

Until people make another easy quoting system, I'm just going to reply to you and say I agree.
