God, The Holy Books And Politics

Politically who is God?

Is God communist or socialist or capitalist?

If you use the religious texts of all the religions where would you put God in the political spectrum?

I would not place him anywhere on the political spectrum. I'd place him above politics, especially partisan politics and ideological fetishes. Ideology is supposed to adapt to the needs of the people and not the other way around.

I think God is more communist because everyone is equal to God

Not necessarily. If everyone lived their lives according to his teachings, then even in a capitalist society there would be neither extreme wealth nor destitution, so communism would be redundant.

There is no God.. we are all made of energy and matter.. when we die, our energy becomes one with the collective and the matter returns to earth and dust. Resistance is futile!!

YOU'RE DEAD WHO THE FUKK CARES!!!

But God's way is the communist way.

The kings were the capitalists and Jesus did not like them

Communism is an economic ideology. The sacred texts refer primarily to individual action and, in those religions that do refer to government, to principles of moral governance, not any detailed economic ideology.

Totalitarian dictatorship

• Cult of personality
• Demands worship
• Absolute power in the executive
• Strict and all-encompassing laws on personal conduct
• Dissent leads to torture and death
• Thoughtcrime

Dictator for life, ..... and then some.
Family man following a 'one child' policy

You may not have noticed but those premiums you pay never leave the insurance company. Try getting it changed to 'acts of Satan', they won't do it, I asked.

Obviously the gods are communists. Heaven where they dwell (information for the unenlightened) is work free, yet everyone lives in harmony and bliss. There are no mines, mills, or factories on heaven; there are no hewers of water or drawers of wood. To each according to his needs; from each a song on a harp or a lusty "Hallelujah!' And, of course, everyone is addressed as "brother" or "sister."

Actually I believe God is having too much fun watching the current crop of
international clowns. If you take the ancient texts of almost any religion
that believes God what ever that entails is for Balance. Therefore in all things
we need Left, Right and Center without the balance being tipped to the extreme.
The problem comes to the fore when the extremists on the left or the right.
They claim to be motivated by God of all things.

Wow, I just realized that the OP refers to Gawd in the singular. If there be but one Gawd, then clearly she is a Unitarian (one who supports unions) and therefore is a Social Activist. Heaven help us!

If God is communist does that mean all religions strive to be communists?
