    liberals are not a religious group that claims to follow the teachings of jesus. Your point is?

      The teachings of Jesus, if read for what they say, are the antithesis of the Republican platform.

      Also note: the all-knowing God/man said nothing about abortion and it was a thing then, too.

      It’s idolatry with a political party trumping (heh) the actual religious teachings.

      Christians are a religious group who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. Jesus taught many liberal ideals. Some of these include:

      • Helping others
      • Not hoarding wealth
      • Not judging others based on their life choices

      At present, many Christians also consider themselves to, politically, be Republicans. The Republican party believes in none of what Jesus taught. They use Christianity to do exactly the opposite of what Jesus taught.

      • Welfare? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!
      • Capitalism and profit at all costs
      • Condemnation of non-heterosexual lifestyles

      It sure seems to me that Republican Christians long ago decided that the teachings of Jesus are too liberal.

        I appreciate you writing all this out, but…

        I was replying to walnutwalrus’s comment:

        liberals are rejecting “conservative” teachings of Jesus

        And it appears something went wrong and my comment isn’t listed as a reply to that one. This changes the context significantly. Where did you find my comment?
