I'm named after a saint!! Well an uncle really.....

I think you are horribly wrong on many points lil' deeb.
Jesus never appeared for me. He arguably never appeared for anyone else either. Only one gospel, the last to be written has Jesus show up after the Crucifiction)however you spell it). That's neither here nor there though I guess for most people. I have never met him and it should would fucking impress me if he did show up.

Communism and Socialism are both forms of government, and they both are involved with the economics of the state. If you don't see how Jeshua had economic points of interest than we disagree as to his meaning. Jeshua was interested in both the politics of the temple which were essentially the politics of the kingdom.

Faith/Religion to me is not a position to be taken by an individual for material gain. Pascals wager is an intellectual arguement it isn't useful in a meaningful way.

Chruches lose all relevance when they cater to marketing schemes like you espouse for them. Jeshua didn't come to hang out and play foosball and drink cappuccinos from what I can tell, and I don't think advocates of his ideaolgy serve him very well by building a skatepark. He supposedly came for the poor and sick. I like the old fashioned soup kitchen. He spoke out against the wealthy, I don't think Christianity as it appears in the texts could be marketed precisely because it is radical, anti-authoritarian, anti-materialist. In short the society we have would be unreceptive to what is in the texts, so most churches have decided to ignore the texts and focus on filling the pews. It doesn't matter to me if they fill the pews with lies about hell fire and brimstone, which I think is hogwash, or ignore the texts and thereby ignore Jeshua's most striking features as a religious figure. His compassion, his aversion to the material, his aversion to easy answers, his aversion to authority, blah blah blah.
