Factually you are ignorant of the Bible. Jesus would not have been a socialist and there are many, many passages to confirm that.
The most important fact is this: Jesus did not get involved in the government, and would never endorse a system that teaches people to worship or rely on the government for their sustenance.He taught that we were to rely on Him for that: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (food and clothing, etc.)shall be added to you.” Matt.6:33. He did not spend His time preaching about the evils of money. In fact, compared with the scriptures about the need to turn away from sin, the scriptures that speak of the poor are few.
You speak of the numbers who are turning away as though they are correct and have gained more wisdom; in fact they are disobedient and are part of the Great Apostacy predicted by Jesus.
Liberalism is immaturity, cloaked with the pretense of moral and intellectual superiority.
Biblically any sex outside a marriage is adultery. That would include rape. So it is covered by the 7th Commandment.

Jesus... would never endorse a system that teaches people to worship or rely on the government for their sustenance

Oh, yes, I forgot that Freepers know Jesus's mind through and through. You know what he would do and what he wouldn't. And you know just how to interpet what he says to support your view, and ignore what doesn't.

Why? Because he is an projection of your own super-imposed over a legend which is mostly invention created around the time of the Siege of Jerusalem. That's why liberals have a liberal Jesus and conservatives have a conserative Jesus. Jesus, like God, is whatever you want him to be. Jews wanted him to be the savior of Jerusalem. Greeks wanted him to make a nice afterlife. European colonalists wanted him to help conquer foreign lands. Women want him to stand up for women's rights, socialists want him to throw out the money-changers who were making a profit, hippies want him to advocate everyone to chill out, homophobes want him to condemn gays, gays want him to love everyone... and all of them find ways to define him to suit their purpose.

Just like you.

And by the way: rape and sex are not quite the same. Unless of course you think the jogger in Central Park “had sex” with several assailants who beat her so severely she almost died.
