In context:
25 Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them, 26 “Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms of peace. 33 So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.
In greater context:
Jesus had been healing and preaching and was under assault by the Pharisees (The Jewish spiritual leaders, not the state church but the 'authentic' spiritual leaders). The neighboring verses tell about the importance of humility and not putting people first who might advantage you (like your family or the wealthy), but rather putting first the people who are poor, outcasts and sick. After the teaching is that those who claim to follow God but don't follow Him are not part of His kingdom.

Jesus didn't exist. And if he did he was just a man. By today's standards, he would be a far left socialist.
Anyways... My general reaction to this thread is this:
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Yes, that would be your general reaction to things which don't 100% agree with you.

Nice try. But no.
That is my general reaction to a thread by the OP.
Awesome attempt. Nothing like falling flat on your face. Seems to be a habit of yours.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.
