The perils of upsetting the applecart

Last night I had an interesting chat with a friend who is a cynical Marxist Athiest. We were discussing Jeremy Corbyn. He made a telling observation. He said "If you go around preaching tolerance and social justice, try and help the sick, feed the masses and threaten the powers that be, the one thing the bible tells you that is true is that sooner or later you get crucified". He probably isnt wrong.
