I'm far from a christian, but of all the versions of Jesus I ever came across, the ones of him as a hero of the working class always appealed to me the most.

The beauty of the Bible is that it fits all versions of what people want Jesus to be. Anyone can cherry pick the parts they like and ignore the parts they don't. This is one or the reasons we have so many sects of Christianities.

All the versions of Jesus, from the gentle, meek and mild to a ripped carpenter who led a revolt and 'came not to send peace, but a sword,' are made-up characters out of a made-up character. We have nothing in the historical record upon which to even base the existence of this person, much less his characteristics. I agree with @genessa, better to recognize a leftist musician who gave us one of the most beloved socialist anthems, This Land is Your Land, than to identify with someone who may never have existed.

Yes, I agree. I was just pointing a narrative that appealed to me. And I think it's kinda obvious that I love Woody. It's funny how you can never see how things will be taken . . .
@towkneed To be fair, my writing style does not always convey the tounge that's in my cheek, or so I've been told! Peace.
