As Jesus said, "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a poor man enter Heaven."

You're right, Jesus didn't give a damn about social justice. Christianity and the need for justice and equality are completely separate. /s

Everything is political.

Social justice existed LONG before Jesus' time, it just didn't have a specific name.

Biblical societies had overt caste and class systems. Social justice tries to flatten anything resembling these. You mentioned that you think Jesus was an advocate of social justice but didn't explain why. Maybe our understanding of social justice is different from one another's.

Social justice is no more or less of an ideology than religion iself.
