I named my blog after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus -- A Roman consul who served only long enough to save his Republic before returning to his farm. Cincinnatus was the inspiration for the Order of Cincinnatus, to which George Washington and Lafayette and many other American Patriots were members. Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam - He relinquished everything to serve the Republic.

Glenn Beck Takes On The Issue of Jesus as Individual Libertarian Versus Jesus as Marxist Communist
Jesus did not coerce anyone. Although he was God made man, he didn't zap people out of existence when they refused to follow him.
He taught The Truth, and allowed people to make up their own minds.
He was also merciful; God's path to redemption is always open.
Lefties often point to Acts as an example of Socialism because they pooled their resources and shared everything. All kinds of organizations, including churches, do that today!
The difference it, these are VOLUNTARY associations and VOLUNTARY donations.
This is a common progressive trick. Take one narrow instance of something and universalize it.
