Being a conservative and a Christian is practically a -blam!-ing oxymoron. Do Christians actually read the shit the mythical character Jesus taught? I can tell you he didn't preach the same lies about this country we're told every week by Fox News and other freaks. Jesus was a socialist who preached against the rich and taught that people should give up their material goods and give their stuff away from the poor? Don't -blam!-ing believe me? That's okay. Here are some quotes: [quote]Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. Luke 6:20-21 Then he looked up at his disciples and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. ‘Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. ‘Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Matthew 25:34-36 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Mark 12:41-44 He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 43 Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 44 For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” Luke 14:12-14 He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”[/quote] Are you telling me Jesus would have supported the consumeristic, materialistic, greedy America? If you say yes you're out of your -blam!-ing mind. Jesus Christ, the mythical made up character would hate conservatism. Give to the poor is what he taught. Not "Let the poor work for the rich while the rich get fat off the blood of the poor and poor suffer and died for nothing." If you're a Christian and you vote conservative you're a -blam!-ing oxymoron. Christianity is a religion that should fully embrace socialism and the teachings of socialism because the Jesus -blam!-ing Christ was a socialist. Yet again it amazes me how people can be this brainwashed. They believe there is a personal God looking out for them because they're told so in a Church and yet they live and wish for a society that totally goes against the core teaching of what this God was suppose to have taught. Irrationality is over nine -blam!-ing thousand.
