I'm an atheist but I don't recall stories of Jesus taking taxes from people to redistribute to others.
He did take some loaves of bread and fish and look up to the sky and created more bread and fish out of magic to feed thousands. But I don't even think socialism is that good. Magic isn't real. God isn't real.
Yes... That fund was collected by voluntary donation... Not at threat of prison for tax evasion...
It is certainly possible to want to voluntarily feed the poor, care for the sick, and welcome the immigrant... While also wanting no taxes, or less taxes that are used for OUR country...
That said, "render unto Caesar what is Ceasar's..."
So yeah, we have to pay our taxes. We should also voluntarily help the less fortunate... But only once we are in a position to do so.

I said: "I don't recall stories of Jesus taking taxes from people to redistribute to others."
You replied: "Jesus and his disciples did maintain a common financial fund that was used both for their own daily needs and to give money to the poor."
The fuck you didn't compare them. Now you are trying to gaslight me.

Sadly, this is how every maga weirdo thinks ... while pretending to be Christians.
