6. The greatest trick the devil ever performed was convincing man that he did not exist...
Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 10:50 PM by Liberal_Christian
... and convincing man that the "Christian Coalition" and other right wing ideologies are Christian.

These people are in almost no way Christian.

Jesus Christ said things like "turn the other cheek" and "Love your enemies" and "bless them that curse you" and "do GOOD to them that hate you" and "Love your brother as you love yourself" and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God"
-Yet these self-righteous right wing hacks will advocate water-boarding, guns, war, ...

These guys will be more than happy to admit that they "don't believe in handouts"... but guess who does... JESUS CHRIST. Funny how right-wingers won't give to the "welfare-queens" yet they claim to worship Christ who said go "Sell all that you have, GIVE TO THE POOR, you will have treasure in heaven, come follow me"

Funny how they deregulate corporations and provide huge tax-decreases for the upper percentile and claim that the only American view of success is to become as wealthy as possible by any means possible yet they claim to worship Jesus Christ; the one who said "a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of heaven" and "it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" and "Woe unto you who are rich, for ye hath received your consolation" and "YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND WEALTH"

Funny how they're the ones who want to infuse Christianity with a man-made government and say that people shouldn't "by American right" pay as much taxes while at the same time claiming allegiance and adherence to the one (Jesus Christ) who said "render that which is Caesar's unto Caesar, and that which is God's unto God"

I guess that's the problem isn't it. The GOP's main source of marketing is of giving that which is God's to THEIR Caesar!!!! ie. Falwell (Moral Majority) got Reagan into office, Robertson (Christian Coalition) got Bush Jr into office, and now we have other organizations along with them like Dobson's "family research counsel" to pervertedly carry on this warped legacy of the misrepresentation of Jesus Christ in order to get Republican/Conservatives into office.

It isn't the Liberals, the Democrats, the ACLU, the gays, the lesbians, the secularists, the progressives, or even the abortionists that pose the biggest threat to Christianity; IT'S THE GOP!!!!! THEY are the money-exchangers in the temple! The Christian Right does day in day out the very mentality that caused Christ to throw over tables in anger!
