Welcome Jesus Into Our House

Many people confess that they love and support Jesus Christ. Though, conversely, they also support our current socio-economic system and the power dynamics of politics and home. Some of these people also claim that America was founded on what they would like to call Christian principles. I don't actually believe that is the case given that Jesus would not likely have agreed with the principles of America then or now. I doubt that Jesus would support capitalism and the individualistic motivation that excludes and disadvantages women and people of a different skin colour. Would these Americans let Jesus into their home? A man preaching about how the current economic and government systems are lousy and that we ought to replace them with a more socialist or communist system. Would they really humble themselves as Jesus suggests and help out a gay man, or a women with darker skin? I doubt it.


Also, here is a (somewhat related) picture:
