Karl Marx himself once a christian merely removed the concept of god from the early christian church model and replaced it with the state.

An interesting point, and not one I had heard, although I am quite certain it must be true. I've often thought, and occasionally said, that socialism is a kind of perverted, over the top form of Christianity, only without God.

"I've often thought, and occasionally said, that socialism is a kind of perverted, over the top form of Christianity,"

It does look that way don't it.One relies on the goodness and authority of God,the other on the goodness and authority of man.

So in a back-handed sort of way all those academics who salivate over socialism are actually agreeing that christianity is good,they just don't want He who knows all men meddling in it.
