I read the above terse worries like this.
Without Jesus, the human soul is in endless torment. It's like the fires of Hell, but here and now, and consumes the soul just the same.
I've been reading Marx lately. The man was a terrible human. He lived off donations, lived in a pile of ****. Never did any real work, produced nothing. His kids died suffering from neglect, and his wife died one of the most miserable unhappy deaths after years of suffering. He was brutal.
I'd be kind to say he was suffering from a mental illness, an extreme sociopathy.
During his life, few people survived knowing him very well. He'd drive them off in a violent rage if they didn't just kiss his ***.
His world view was entirely worthless, a bald fabrication, with so many philosophical and logical problems it should not have ever been actually believed. Every country where people have used his rhetoric to rise to power has resulted in a totalitarian fascist regime actually ruled by international corporate interests, the worst form of imperialism ever invented. The political scheme has been just to run off the competition and run down the populace, and keep the resources outta the competition's hands.
It's John D. Rockefeller's wet dream as a way to remove production from the face of the earth and keep prices high while further entrenching political and economic cartelism and monopoly interests.
Nobody can provide material or objective evidence of Christ being the Messiah, or Jesus coming again to save the world, but the teachings he advocated are a helluva lot better for mankind than Marx's.
The positive moral values Jesus taught would improve anyone, and make life better for the people who are affected. Marx wanted to just destroy everything on the insupportable claim that having no property or interest to care for would make us all nice people.
Human nature is not the product of our circumstances, our society, our culture, our property or our interests. We are something apart from all that. We make irrational choices sometimes. Motives like love control a lot of our choices in life.
People who envision "God" as someone/something with attributes like love, mercy, justice will as a consequence of their ideals often apply those virtues in their own lives. Denying the spiritual values of caring and love and faith is denying all the positive potential in human beings. Something that in truth has no material objective except to make people's lives worthwhile.
I really feel that the brigade of materialist/progressive advocates in here are missing out on the things that really make life good.
Whether there is a God or not, we can and should just lean into the good of being human.
