Fox Op-Ed: How Long Will I Be Allowed to Remain a Christian?

Pretty much everything Jesus and the Bible teaches the religious right ignores.

Jesus never condemned gays. He never condemned abortion. He said to love your neighbor. He said that the poor would inherit the earth and the rich would have difficulty entering heaven. He said let he who hasn’t sinned judge. He dined with sinners. He loved and forgave.

Yet today’s modern religious right Christian hates gays, screams about being pro life while gleefully banging the drums of war and supporting capital punishment, they hate anyone who disagrees with them, they worship money and spite the poor, they cast judgement upon others while turning a blind eye to their own transgressions.

They’re literally the anthesis to what Jesus and the Bible teach.

That’s why your “supply-side Jesus” was so dead on the money.

The bible is neither left-wing, right-wing, pro-Trump, anti-Trump. It’s about anti-greed. It’s about loving your fellow man and woman. It’s about taking care of the poor, elderly, misguided, and the environment.

The Bible is pretty silence on abortion too. Although, there’s a text about women drinking “bitter water”. Wonder what that means.

I guarantee that if Democrats ever get back in power there will be death squads at churches on day 1.

I don’t know what that means.

The Dems were empower for about 6-8 straight years. Nothing happened.

The vast majority of Americans are Judo-Christians.

You used to be a little more subtle. Tone it down a bit, you’re exposing yourself.

As a Christian living in the United States, do you feel attacked? Persecuted? Oppressed?

No. No. No. (To all three questions.) But I do have an “However.” Some of the mainstream media is broad-brushing Christianity and presenting our faith in a bizarre kind of rendition. When it is so easy to identify the lies the media is presenting, it is all too easy to wonder, “What else are they lying about, how else are they misinforming us?”

IF some in the media are wanting Christianity to crash and burn and are trying to take it down, the end result of a crash and burn may be the media, not Christianity. The media needs to ease up, not because I feel attacked, persecuted, or oppressed, but because what they are doing is beneath them and I expect better of them. If I don’t get it, they, not the faith, is what I will be ignoring and considering not worthy of note.

Do you have any concrete examples of this?

Did you see that great big IF that started the paragraph?

You may also want to check out a book by Robert Singh. One of the issues he noted is that the “Christian Right” is a term the media coined from statements gathered from separate, unrelated denominations and issues. If the quote about gathering three people from the Jewish faith gather to discuss a passage will result in four opinions, it is even more true of Christianity.

Who cares?

Good summary of the Bible and Jesus. Remarkable so many can profess to be the most devouted Christians, yet profess their belief sof greed and hate.

[AZslim]

Since you can’t provide even one concrete example why bring it up at all?

[MrCapitalism]

It means the libs have lost their minds. I left when I saw it coming. They are fully satanic now.

Satan is appalled by liberals. Even the Prince of Lies understands that conservatism is the better path.

Grin. It is the fault of those who removed those old-time see-saws from our playgrounds. If those on the see-saw were of equal weight, or could adjust for additional weight, fun could be have by both. If one side had too much weight (or to little) neither had any fun at all. I blame whomever removed the see-saws–whether they be liberal or conservative. The wisdom of the see-saw has been lost! Lost, I say.

Can anybody tell me how to quote a post that includes the quoted post text in it?

I have never used a forum like this

One way is to highlight the portion you want copied, then Ctrl-C. Then hit “reply”. Or you could hit “reply” and then hit the quote bubble to the left of the Bold (B) button.

Hey you! I pray you and yours are well

Thanks

[Meriweather]

Yes, all is well, and I hope the same is true for you! Good seeing you.
