Hello, and welcome. I do find it odd however that you are Christian and communist. There is a pretty definite contradiction there.

Welcome, this place needs a bit of diversity.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

Welcome!
Do you locate yourself within a particular Christian Communist tradition? Are you a member of any organizations?

I'm thinking of getting a Digger woodcut tattooed on one of my legs.

That is not necessarily a contradiction at all.
If he is trying to adhere to any sort of materialism there may be a problem but using the vague term "communist" does not imply a contradiction.

Hello! Are you new to leftism? If you aren't, welcome! If yes, have you read Friedrich Engel's Principles of Communism (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm) and/or his Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/06/09.htm)? It's available at marxists.org (Marxists Internet Archive).

I'd recommend checking this out (MIA): Beginners Guide to Marxism (http://marxists.org/subject/students/index.htm) and Lenin's The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism (http://marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/mar/x01.htm).

Also, here are a few books (PDFs) that are a good introduction to Marxism.

Marx: A Beginner's Guide (http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/e8cf47710e69d334b5e9e87b31f39d5c/Collier+-+Marx+A+Beginners+Guide.pdf)

The Revolutionary Ideas of Karl Marx (http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/d82d1569f5dc8ef869a21aba711c0f88/Callinicos+-+Revolutionary+Ideas+of+Marx.pdf)

Are you interested in any particular tendency right now?
