Coco Calling No.139 - Was Jesus A Socialist?
Now that’s what I call a spicy question. Almost as hot and spicy as one of my favourite chillies! Those of you that have read my blogs over the last couple of years will know that I don’t really get human politics. Yes, of course, there are some very genuine politicians out there that are a credit to the human race. But around the world, there are also a great many that discredit their profession. Which is probably why some parrots like to share an old joke about the meaning of the word “Politics.” We like to say that “Poli” comes from the Greek word meaning “many”, while the “tics” bit refers to blood sucking parasites….

Ever since Jesus walked this Earth, humans have tried to justify their political beliefs by claiming that Jesus or God are on their side. And this was certainly the case during the run-in to the recent American elections. President Trump stood outside a church near the White House clutching a Bible for a staged photoshoot. Moments earlier, a crowd of peaceful protesters had been tear-gassed so they wouldn’t interfere with the photos. Elsewhere in America, Republican flags appeared, featuring Jesus with a large gun by his side.
