Colonized people totally love Jesus.
That’s probably because Jesus had a lot in common with them – he was poor, he had a terrible job and he liked to get drunk. He also liked donkeys, eating fish, farming and sandals. Jesus probably would have loved Jim Jones and Bon Jovi if he had a CD player but then again who doesn’t?
Another thing that colonized people love about Jesus is that he taught them that if you were poor, drunk and oppressed you would get into heaven. That totally made it worth it for them to be poor, drunk and oppressed for two thousand years until infinity.

On the contrary, I believe Jesus was popular because he met people where they were. If you actually look at the scriptures and see how he spoke to people, he was so straightforward and real. He didn’t hold the bias and predispositions that everyone else had, he treated every human being just like that, a human being. He valued life.
Just my thoughts,
