Sorry, but Christianity is also against abortion, same-sex “marriage”, identity by race, etc.

It’s not about socialist agendas.

Let’s see a few books about that.. .

Buddhism has a teaching similar to Christianity, but without the Western/Socialist “social justice” agenda that has polluted Western thinking. First of all, wealth, gained honestly and with a “right livelihood,” is a sign of proper living, righteousness and God’s favor.

Secondly, giving away one’s wealth certainly is considered an upright and moral act, but with the condition you have wisdom regarding where its given, and your wealth in the hands of others doesn’t enable their sin or create bad karma.

Third, and probably most salient, is that managing and trying to hold on to wealth in our short lives is ultimately a burden of our minds and hearts. Our desire to become or remain wealthy is a distraction from our focus on God. A person gives away his wealth to ultimately help HIMSELF

Maybe liberal Christians groups should give away their money and disband...

I tend to view skeptically anyone with advice for others on running their lives.
