It’s important to note that for the most part, socialism is a *parody* of Christianity. The easiest way to imagine this is if the Bible was rewritten to make man, not God, the center of the book, both old and new testaments.

Of course, this idea is full of holes, but socialist theorists got around the problem by rewriting any Biblical elements as needed to justify their beliefs.

This began in earnest with the “historical criticism” of the “higher critics”, from the 17th to the 20th Centuries. It was loaded with assumptions not based in facts, but opinions. For example, “Hebrews did not eat unclean animals like pork because of diseases like trichinosis.”

The idea that science displaces God also figures prominently in socialist theory, which used to be called “scientific socialism”.

This makes it especially ludicrous, as they try to justify the atheist use of Biblical doctrines in socialist faith based theories.

A favorite of these justifies radical, anti-human environmentalism. In the Bible, Adam and Eve are booted out of the Garden of Eden for eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Socialism rewrites this as a goal of socialism to return mankind to Eden (which they call the State of Nature), by renouncing the ideas of good and evil. In short, if a person becomes amoral, he is moving back to nature.

And this concept has all sorts of weird and perverse permutations, from the utterly genocidal, wiping out of most of humanity, to ideas like personal amorality or immorality “free love” as being good. To radical environmentalism, ala Al Gore.

Why do democrats abhor energy production? Simple, because it is “not natural”. Religious idiots.

In any event, the one thing that socialists cannot tolerate in their “faith” is God, in any significant way. They can be called “atheist Christians”, in that they want all the good stuff; but they are so arrogant they think themselves like God, or a substitute for God.
