"Today the logic goes something like this: 'We can support a president while also worshiping Jesus as the Son of God.' But how is this possible? For one promotes the economics of competition, while the other admonishes the forgiveness of debts. Can you call Jesus the Son of God and also say, 'He just doesn't understand the world today'? What is the point in calling anything God if it does not also hold sway in every part of one life's life — especially one's politics?"—Shane Claiborne & Chris Haw, activists for nonviolence, the redistribution of resources to the poor [by the church], and authors of Jesus for President.

So Shaine Claibourne is also for the Obama "redistribution of wealth" for the poor? It's no surprise he's all about socialism.
Dear Anonymous,
Actually, Shane is for Christians living their faith and being the change agents instead of the government. You can read about how he is already doing that here: http://thesimpleway.org/index2.html
Does that sound like socialism to you?
