Karl Marx and Christ

“… union with Christ consists in the most intimate communication with him, in having him before our eyes and in our hearts, and being so filled with the highest love for him, at the same time we turn our hearts to our brothers whom he has closely bound to us, and for him whom also he sacrificed himself…”

These are some words from a school-leaving essay by a school boy in 1835 at the age of 17. Karl Marx is his name. The same one who’s books changed the face of the world, and in who’s name had countless Christians and people of other faiths slaughtered.

It’s from God’s that Fail by Vinod Ramachandra
The quote was pulled from Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, “Collected Works”
