not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [Matthew 5:39] I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute
you; [Matthew 5:44]

Hilary Clinton, obviously.

Sure about that?

The fundamental problem with Republicans or Democrats assigning their political ideology to Jesus Christ is that he wasn't necessarily advocating for any of his policies to be the law of the land.

[it's me]

:lmao Jesus (or Apollonius) gave two fucks about republicans or democrats... dude was too busy deceiving morons in the middle east 19 decades ago.

Wow, what religion are you espousing?

Such harsh criticism!

[Clipper Nation]

Yet another reason to be an atheist, tbh.

Apollonius of Tyana look it up.

Crime and Punishment: If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to cast a stone at her. [John 8:7] Do not judge, lest
you too be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to
you. [Matthew 7:1 & 2.]

Are you saying Liberals think there should be no jail and no courts?

I prefer to do this myself, not have the government do it for me. And that is how Jesus preached it.

[Uriel]

The fundamental problem with Republicans or Democrats assigning their political ideology to Jesus Christ is that he wasn't necessarily advocating for any of his policies to be the law of the land.
That's beside the point. Jesus advocated precepts that fell under a very specific system of morality. And that system happens to be liberal and progressive. Jesus spoke in favor of equality, tolerance, concern for the oppressed and downtrodden--all principles that are espoused by the Democratic Party.

[Uriel]

Sure about that?
Of course not. But according to recent polls, she's the preferred candidate of over 70% of Democrats for the next Presidential election. That's the strongest reception for any potential candidate for either party in the modern era.

[Uriel]

"Thou shalt not kill"

50 million abortion deaths, nope.
Liberals don't like abortion any more than conservatives, and we regret that it happens.

But we believe that a woman's right to choose and have autonomy over her own life takes precedence over that of a clump of cells.

[m>s]

still not jesus-like fail

[Uriel]

Are you saying Liberals think there should be no jail and no courts?
Of course not. But conservatives like to bandy around phrases like "zero tolerance" and "getting tough on crime." Liberals merely recognise that there are psycho-social factors at work that influence criminal activity, and that it is not our place to assign moral culpability on people's transgressions given the existence of these factors beyond our control.


I prefer to do this myself, not have the government do it for me. And that is how Jesus preached it.
The underlying point is that we need to care for the downtrodden and the oppressed. And it's great that you want to do it and all, but the federal government can carry this task out far more effectively than any one individual.

What...no cut and paste on Jesus' IQ?

So Jesus Christ also allows women to kill their unborn babies, even without the consents of their husbands (if they have)?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

:lol sucking Saul's dick from Romans rather than admit it's a contradiction.

Republicans will say they believe in those things but that it should be voluntary and not government-mandated.

By saying voluntary, you're implying it's optional. So you're saying Republicans believe that fostering "equality, tolerance, and concern for the oppressed" should be optional. Meaning, I can choose to care for my neighbours, but whether I do so or not is entirely at my discretion.

I don't think that's what Jesus meant at all.

I'm quite sure He didn't, but you'll never convince the peanut gallery.

This is brilliant. :lol Everyone should watch this and see the contradiction that is conservative Christianity.

[spurraider21]

So you're saying liberals (who claim to distance themselves from religion) are more in touch with Jesus? Isn't that also a contradiction?

[bigzak25]

Fuck voting and fuck politics. But Jesus is my nigga!

[SupremeGuy]

Is there anything that the demorats won't try to spin? lol

[Uriel]

So you're saying liberals (who claim to distance themselves from religion) are more in touch with Jesus? Isn't that also a contradiction?
I'm not saying we're "more in touch" with Jesus (I haven't prayed to Him in years, ever since I became an atheist). I'm saying that our system of morality is more in line with Jesus' teachings than conservatives' system of morality.

i guess it all depends if you think the government should be playing the role of jesus or not

Jesus Cantavious Courthouse Christ, 1st overall pick of the Jews who then traded him to the fucking Romans for what? Silver.

So you think that the government should not follow the teaching of Christ if you are a Christian? There is a difference between being Christ and following his edicts.

I was raised to abhor Christians of convenience but it seems that is all that is left.

[Uriel]

What does that say about the Christians in government who want to erect tablets of the 10 Commandments in front of every courthouse in America?

[spurraider21]

Valid point.
