    Jesus was:

    • anti-government
    • against organized religion
    • liberal
    • a socialist
    • an ally of the poor
    • an ally of sex workers
    • an ally of criminals
    • a man of color
    • a member of the working class

    Present-day America would shoot him on sight.

      He was an ally of the outcasts, for they are his people just as much as anyone else.

      Man of color gets difficult as today’s inhabitants of regions aren’t necessarily the same ethnicity as past inhabitants.

      Instead of POC, I think the closest equivalent to a modern circumstance would probably be part of a repressed majority, like apartheid South Africa or British India.

      He was obviously a POC, but it wouldn’t have the same social implications it does today. He did live in a Roman province where locals had inferior rights to Roman citizens. I think it’s a more historically accurate (but probably less useful) parallel for this post.

      Jesus told that woman to stop sinning. He was not in favor of sex work, just agaisnt stupid (and unjust) punishment organized only for damaging His public figure.

        There would be zero conflict as long as he chose to genocide palestinians. Cruelty is all it takes to be welcomed by team conservatism.

      Not sure about the anti-government, he even told his followers to pay taxes to Caesar as the money belongs to him, when they doubted about it “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God”
