I doubt he really believes the garbage he spouts.
“Jesus' presence creates division and conflict”

Jesus Christ does not create division and conflict. Satan does that.

John 16:33 — "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

What is your understanding of the term “the gospel”.?
What is yours? Mine is good news.

Supposed theologians like Reinhold Niebuhr did not preach the good news. They actually mixed religion and politics.. anytime you mix politics with anything. The only thing you get is politics. The aim of the gospel is much higher than politics.

Everything? Nothing about that is the gospel.. it’s absolutely perverted from what the gospel is about.
Usually when you read a passage you also need to read around that passage for more context. In this case you don’t even have to leave chapter 10 to put more context. Just one verse above adds to the same passage in a different light. Matthew 32-34 “If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in heaven. But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before my Father in heaven”.
Matthew 10:22 “And everyone will hate you because of your allegiance to me”

Jesus was not on earth to overthrow the Romans. He was here for a much bigger purpose.

Too many people try to take quotes out of context. Use the Bible to interpret itself.

Chomsky he’s not a Christian and has no desire to be his opinion on what the Bible said is purposely perverted to achieve what he wants.

what is he talking about then?
Matthew 5:9:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God

2 Timothy 2:23:
"But reject foolish and ignorant speculations, for you know that they breed quarreling


Romans 12:18

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.​

Ecclesiastes 10:4​

4 If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit!
A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes.
the choice was between not speaking out against w bush's iraq war in the news or quitting / getting fired.

i think capitalism violates the golden rule too much for it to be christian amongst other economic systems.

this reminds me of star wars where you dont let emotions get out of control.

Economic systems are a human a construct. All of them have flaws because humans control them.
