Hypothetical Jesus would be laughed off the stage? This is a preposterous strawman. Christianity skews toward conservative politics due to lessons of humility and understanding that man should not "play God" in the form of ever-centralized (oppressive) power structures. This is not to say that religious institutions aren't without their own corrupt tendencies or that Christians should oppose state-sponsored welfare. But the underlying theme is that progressive politics tend to preach idolatry of false prophets.
- cozuya 6y agoRidiculous. Modern "conservatives" in America have __nothing in common__ with the Jesus of the bible. Lessons of humility?? What conservative leaders in America show the slightest sign of that?
- equality_1138 6y agoYou only have to look. Certainly you won't find them in celebrity pop culture news network, duh.
- cozuya 6y agoOK, who are some modern American conservative leaders who show humility, or any of the other major tenets of the teachings of Jesus? Who shows that they love their neighbors? Does building the wall show that? Which of them love their enemies? Which doesn't judge others? Who has repented for their sins? Where do I "only have to look" to find these people? What non "celebrity pop culture news networks" should I be watching?
- equality_1138 6y agoTo clarify, by modern American "leaders" do you assume like CEO's and members of congress? Sounds like too much television :)
- cozuya 6y agoSo you can't name a single one. Got it.
- cozuya 6y agoSo since there's no response, we can assume that not one, not any, Qonservative leaders follows the major tenets of the teachings of Jesus, right?
