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.

I think you mean you have rejected the Jesus of the Bible because He isn’t what you think He should be. Hence your outrage over “Thou shalt not rape” not being the eleventh commandment.
