About this Quote

George Bernard Shaw's quote recommends that he believes that being a Christian requires him to be a Communist. This might be translated in a couple of different methods. First of all, it could mean that he believes that the mentors of Christianity, such as helping the bad and being generous, remain in line with the worths of Communism. Second of all, it might indicate that he believes that the Christian faith needs him to be a part of a cumulative, and that Communism is the best way to attain this. Last but not least, it could mean that he believes that the Christian faith requires him to eliminate for social justice, which Communism is the best method to do this. Whatever the interpretation, it is clear that George Bernard Shaw believed that being a Christian required him to be a Communist.
