Brain -> Christian Conservatives Turn Political Judas On Christ’s Teachings (3/31/2011 11:23:07 PM)

How could this happen? It’s nauseating sickening and disgusting hypocrisy of the worst kind. I suppose if Mr. Harpo gets a majority government in Canada this is what we will unfortunately have to look forward to. Not that I expect an answer but why do people vote for these phonies? People can’t possibly be this stupid. The only thing I can think of is greed/selfishness and people looking out for themselves.

Men like Jim DeMint (R-SC), a self-avowed conservative Christian gives taxpayer dollars to rich corporations, but worked tirelessly to defeat the Affordable Health Care Act. DeMint also opposes programs to feed children as well as community health centers that serve the poor. Jesus said rich people should give all their money and belongings to the poor in order to be allowed into heaven (Matt. 19:20 – 21). DeMint and all conservative Christian legislators steal from the poor to give to the rich. Senator DeMint’s lord and savior would disavow knowing the Christianity DeMint practices.

Much of the blame rests with the clergy for not encouraging their congregants to follow Christ’s admonition to be non-judgmental, charitable, and humble in all things. Mike Huckabee (R) is a preacher and judges non-Christians, lies, and opposes giving healthcare to every American. Sarah Palin (R) is a conservative Christian who lies, boasts about herself, opposes the health law, and slaughters animals for sport. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is another conservative Christian who is a staunch advocate for war, a gun rights advocate, and also opposes making affordable health care available to all Americans. This list could go on ad nauseum and demonstrates that nearly every Republican conservative Christian legislator uses their Christianity to garner votes, but they oppose the teachings of their religion’s namesake.

If the conservative Christians were followers of Christ as they claim, they would adopt stringent gun control laws, provide health care for all Americans, stop the senseless wars, and stop enriching the wealthy with American taxpayer dollars. They would also pass legislation to ensure that every American enjoyed the freedom and pursuit of happiness the Founding Fathers intended as well as augment and enforce environmental laws to guarantee the health and safety of Americans. But America’s conservative Christians follow a bastardized Christianity that contradicts Christ’s instructions.

The one possibly good benefit to there being a "heaven"... no politician will ever make it through those pearly gates




slvemike4u -> RE: Christian Conservatives Turn Political Judas On Christ’s Teachings (4/1/2011 7:36:22 AM)

Surely President Obama,who I have heard referred to as the "messiah" on these very pages will get in ?




tazzygirl -> RE: Christian Conservatives Turn Political Judas On Christ’s Teachings (4/1/2011 7:38:22 AM)

For some reason your post caused me to wonder what became of the Sluts for Jesus girls .... a sterling bunch of lasses who used their God-given assets to spread the Word interest people in (ahem) Biblical matters .... no doubt inspired with evangelical fervour.

Slut's Heaven anyone? Yes please![:D]




slvemike4u -> RE: Christian Conservatives Turn Political Judas On Christ’s Teachings (4/1/2011 8:28:17 AM)

Now that is my idea of proselytizing [:D]

Just because someone claims to be christian does not mean he is, anymore than someone who claims to he honest, should be trusted. You will know them by their fruits.

Thanks be you are only talking about males. Though I am not convinced it's nice to refer to gays as "fruits" any more. [:D] [:D]

It has been My experience over the last half century that those who repeatedly tell you what a "Good christian" they are..... arent one at all.

The ones who count are the ones who demonstrate it every day whether someone is looking or not.

At least I’m a peaceful man and not a hypocrite.

A lot of things don't make sense these days unfortunately.

We need to demand they all take a lie detector test before voting for them.

What's hunting have to do with being Christian?  I don't remember seeing PETA in any of the 3 religions "of the book".

Florida loves to play the Jesus vote down here.Get the good olf boy Southern Baptist vote and your a show in down here.That does not mean they actually practice what Jesus says,of course.You know,helping the poor,love thy neighbor,all that good stuff.Nope,lets get rid of the poor,screw your neighbor(unless they are a white multi-millionaire) and play golf all day.Its all about just getting the Jesus votes.This is really popular in the South.The funny thing is,it works almost everytime!




liks2plzlf -> RE: Christian Conservatives Turn Political Judas On Christ’s Teachings (4/1/2011 5:01:59 PM)

Sorry, I should have used they. By their fruits I was referring to their works. Do they only talk or do they walk the walk.

Peaceful? I have read your rants and sorry but they don't sound like the work of a peaceful mind. To much hate towards the rich, the right and the religious. Peaceful minds don't work like that.

Is there a particular reason why Christians are above being judged by non-believers? If so I'd like to hear it. Elsewhere in this thread we have a Christian, liks2plzlf, inviting us to judge Christians;

"Just because someone claims to be christian does not mean he is, anymore than someone who claims to he honest, should be trusted. You will know them by their fruits." post #10

My feeling is that its perfectly legitimate to compare a person's actions to their words and see how they stack up. When it comes to politicians, it would be irresponsible not to check them out for hypocrisy, don't you agree?
