Quote:
Christ was about charity, forgiveness, good stewardship, uplifting the poor and middle class, etc,

Sounds like you need a few re-reads of your Bible. While all of those things are represented, that's clearly not what Christ was about. Furthermore, Christ advocated charity, forgiveness, etc on a personal level as a result of a changed heart (being spirtually born again). Any of those things are more meaningless to him than a pile of filthy rags apart from that.
