When people say “communism” they mean the principles of communal ownership and shared property. Not the specific philosophy of Karl Marx (that would be Marxism).
It is possible for someone to hold those ideal, and even live by them, before the term is coined.
If christianity had ideals other than “live like jesus”, it would be possible to follow those before he existed too.
Why?
Christianity’s power rest on Jesus nature as God and human at the same time. Without that the theology would have to be very very different.
Reading the new testament would be informative on this front. It is not about philosophy or morals, it is about Jesus Christ as a specific individual one must suck up to.

I said:
Human suffering doesn’t just come from human actions.
It also comes from natural causes, genetic defects, disasters, disease and parasites
The fact that humans do cause human suffering, which I have never said wasn’t the case, does not contradict my statement at all.
You take a very narrow view of history.
If all that exists was the last hundred years thwn you may have a point.
But you can’t just shrug aside the thousands of years before that.
Human suffering doesn’t just come from human actions.
It also comes from natural causes, genetic defects, disasters, disease and parasites
Definitive proof that God isn’t gay. He hates foreskin.
You don’t get to decide for people of other races what is or isn’t offensive sove to them.
Thanks bro. lgtm.
Transphobes are literally requesting that trans men be forced to use the women’s restroom, so that’s not true.
It is, as padStart, which makes the number of packages using leftpad even more incomprehensible
The people who got rich pillaging the world weren’t the ones who ate like this.
Can a thing only exist once it has been named?
