So you are agreeing with me that both use coercion. The question of the benefits is a separate issue. Both use coercion to get you to sacrifice your self for the good of others, the state in the case of Socialism and God in the case of Christianity. Even though they are different in the concrete, they are identical in principle.

The difference is one is using coercion to get you to follow them. The other is just telling you the truth of what to expect.

It’s not God’s fault Adam and eve sinned and thrust the whole universe onto a coarse that will lead to death and destruction. God made them to live forever and they chose to be their own God, we now must suffer for their mistake, not God’s.

Do not blame God for sin, he is just giving us a way out of it.
