My theory is that it was socialism that did him in.
If you look at the differences between socialism and Christianity, they both have the same aim of “goodness” but Christianity achieves goodness through goodwill between men but still allowing people to live their lives, but socialism mandates it’s gooness with oppression and the gun and the expectation is subjugation to the goodness as a way of life.
It would not surprise me if it turned out that he, who wants to be like the Most High, was trying to out goodness God through mandated goodness.
No; socialism and Christianity do not have the same goals at all.
