Because his followers got too uppity for their own good. It explains all of this in the book of Yup. The book of Yap, on the other hand, declares that all of Jesus' sheep bore people to tears with talk of the "rapture" and various bible verses.

I agree that Jesus seemed to gravitate toward those less fortunate. But I think you need to see those who DO follow Jesus who DO embrace those you call the Ghetto lifestyle. Don't put all Christians in the same boat. Some people get hacked off at Christianity and start to lump all Christians together. I for one am a Christian, but I don't embrace many of the Churches that call themselves Christian. Jesus came to heal the sick! I don't recall reading where He came to embrace any lifestyle. He came to embrace people, and to do the work of His Father.

good question!
Questions about Jesus, or Questions designed to convert or recruit people to Jesus (or even away from Jesus for that matter)are simply a waste of time. Ditto for being "saved" or trying to clarify minute points of scripture when there are so many different interpretations and editions of text. People have already decided for the most part if they believe in the fiction written in the bible. People who feel God talks to them have psychological problems because hearing voices is a psychological illness. All the major world religions have issues like this.

Awfully broad observation, friend. His followers are everywhere and in all social and economic levels.

"Cause today's Christians got no soul. They worship money, their One True God.
