Here it is: "We do believe that God has acted upon and within history, and most of us believe, though perhaps not quite all, that God is a being who exists outside of history. But for every action which we believe is an action of God within history we believe that there is a sufficient explanation of a purely historical and material form, We do not say this out of a desire simply to be curious and interesting and two-dimensional about history in preference to the dullness of everyone else's boring one-dimensionality. We say this simply because we do believe it to be true that there is a God and that he has acted upon history; and we also believe that the God could not have acted so as to change the course of history otherwise than in a way that is explicable entirely in terms of that history. We are, therefore, overdeterminists. At any rate, if there are some Christians who dissent from this point of view, I for my part follow the central tradition in the Catholic Church on this, represented in the theology of Aquinas. And as for the materialist conception of history itself, if not all Christians have accepted it as explaining their own historical agency, they have, to my mind, been thoroughly inconsistent in this: if they do not accept it, it appears the God they believe in does. If not all Christians are Marxists, certainly their own God is."

If you want to read more about communism and Christianity, and these are people I'm a bit more educated on, and who are further left so I really do prefer them, I recommend the works of Camilo Torres and Hewlett Johnson. I think the Complete Works of Camilo Torres is on Internet Archive and some of Hewlett Johnson's writings are on marxists.org!

Furthermore, I'd like to say that in my opinion, communism is the one ideology that lines up with Biblical teachings and with the love of Christ.

Acts 2:44-45: And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

Mathew 6:24: No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MONEY!!!!!
