Dear Christian Conservatives: I Want to Thank All of You for Making Me a Better Person

[bodecea]

What a scumbag. Liberalism IS a religion. Being a liberal Christian is just a denomination of liberalism. Liberals interpret everything through their filters, even religion. He will no longer stand by? Wow, what a threat. I imagine churches will shut down across the fruited plains to avoid his wrath.

Ah...struck a nerve.

See, if it wasn’t for the ignorance, hypocrisy and utter hatred that seems to emulate from many of the “Christian right,” I might have never decided to stand up to reclaim my faith from the tens of millions who have so ignorantly distorted its true meaning.


good luck trying to stop an out of control freight train that's been running for 2000 + years ....

Revelations speak on wolves in sheep clothing and the US houses more wolves than christians. As a matter of fact, nobody on the planet is more hypocritical and unworthy of God's true blessings, than US home grown fake christians.

Why is it when ever a liberal says that our taxes go up?

Liberal Christians think it's perfectly reasonable to have government act on the behalf of liberal Jesus, the hippy God that rules from on high.

These are the same folks that scream bloody murder if Christians vote against abortion on demand.

Dude, shouldn't you be outside trying to find santa?

Shouldn't you be out murdering babies in the name of your chocolate hippy Jesus? The younger the better.

This is what the kind of reality you live in....I see.

I will not discuss abortion with you on this thread, but I have yet to find the Jesus of the NT in the newly Pres. Elect along with his newly elected cabinet and counselors or most members of the Republican party.

Christian morality is not in their hearts, but they still wear him on their sleeves, using him as an excuse for everything from bigotry-racial and class, misogyny, and intolerance of different religions, esp Muslim.

The big issue is they claim they are Christian ones and nothing can be further from the truth.

You are entitled to twist the bible into a pretzel to justify your beliefs but the NT message is about changing the inner man, not enslaving him. Legislating religious morality NEVER works out for the people. Your constant lies and smears are not Christian by any remote standard. The only one you are fooling is yourself.

Apparently you have not read the NT. Not enslaving man, that is exactly what republicans do, by making them dependent on the elites, like Trump , who has stepped on the little business owners to make himself wealthy.

I've studied the Bible for over twenty years, read it three times cover to cover and many books many times.

Trump hasn't stepped on little business owners, I'm a contractor and a member of a contractor board. Those that have worked for him did well and enjoyed doing the projects. You get your truth from smear and hate sources and have zero interest in finding out anything for yourself.

However, the left are the big government types, not the right. The left uses government as God, distributing fairness at the cost of freedom. I can tell you your exegesis is atypical. Most Christians have a more traditional view the God's main purpose was to change the inner man and by that would give freely out of his heart. Your version is much more Marxist than Christian in nature, that the state decides who gets what and how much.

That's exactly WHY the west has opposed communism and socialist states so much and at a great price. Just move to Cuba and enjoy Paradise now, why wait?

Trump stiffed everyone , he spent more time suing and being sued. Its common knowledge.

We do not have communism yet, oh wait, with the Pubs in charge we will. Take away all rights, except the right to work at low paying jobs that do not provide healthcare or a living wage. The ACA was not socialism , they paid for health ins and work as well. All countries have capitalism and socialism. Its due to the elites that people need welfare and food stamps and healthcare help. Its going to get worst. No one wants to bust their butt so a CEO can make 15 grand a hour.

Better yet we need to quit paying taxes, as personally I don't' want to pay for Trump's team or the Pubs in congress's salary, pension or do I want to subsidize their healthcare.

Want to see socialist, look no further than our government.

Dear Christian Conservatives:

I finally understand, I really owe all of you a gigantic apology. I hadn’t realized until fairly recently how big of an impact you all have had on who I am, what I stand for and the type of Christian I want to be.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

For a while I had drifted away from Christianity. Not that I stopped considering myself a Christian, but I had stopped really thinking about faith in my life. While I’ve never been a big church attendee, once upon a time I did spend more time focused on my faith and incorporating it into my life in my own ways. However, the last few years, I had somewhat moved away from that. I’m not really sure why.

Well, thanks to all of you Christian conservatives, I’ve now come back to the point where my faith has become a greater focal point in my life.

See, if it wasn’t for the ignorance, hypocrisy and utter hatred that seems to emulate from many of the “Christian right,” I might have never decided to stand up to reclaim my faith from the tens of millions who have so ignorantly distorted its true meaning.
I found that in my current mission to correct the wrongs many of you people have inflicted on my faith, I’ve developed a stronger devotion to real Christianity.

You know — helping the helpless; defending the defenseless; giving to the needy; assisting the poor; accepting each other; forgiveness and hope; love and compassion. Those things Jesus Christ actually spoke of.

Values for which many “Christian” conservatives tell themselves they stand for, but by their devout relationship with the Republican party, undoubtedly prove that they don’t.

If it wasn’t for your blatant distortion of the faith that I hold dear — and my subsequent reaction to reclaim it from those who misrepresent it — I might have continued to stray further away from that very faith. And who knows, I might have never returned.

But I have — with a vengeance.

No longer will I sit idly by while you people pretend to be followers of Jesus Christ by representing values which are complete contradictions of his teachings. I’m not going to sit here and let you people call yourselves Christians, misrepresent my faith, and do nothing about it.

I will no longer sit silently by while my faith is represented by people who continue to drive more and more people away from it with your intolerable distorted system of beliefs about Christianity.

And trust me, I’m not the only one. Millions of liberal Christians are beginning to awaken and fight back against your distortion of our faith. We’re sick and tired of your ignorance being tied in with our religion.

Your despicable reign over our faith is coming to an end.
So, once again, thank you. Because if it wasn’t for all of you and your intolerance, bitterness and hateful attitudes, my eyes might not have been reopened.

Sincerely,

Allen Clifton

OJ Simpson committed to being a 'better Christian'
Fri 21 Jul 2017
By Eno Adeogun
Former US football star and actor OJ Simpson has been granted parole after convincing a parole board that he has repented after more than eight years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel-room heist.

Doesn't he have to admit to the double murder before he can be considered a "better Christian"?

There is nothing in Christianity that mandates a public confession of wrong-doing.

It is my understanding that Mr. Simpson owes people who were awarded money in a civil suit against him. One thought is that if he is still able to earn money (book, movie, etc.) he would set about doing this, and quietly (without letting his left hand know what his right hand is doing) direct all monies to go towards paying off this civil suit.

Or, perhaps if the people who won the civil suit against Mr. Simpson are Christian, they might consider forgiving the debt (also quietly without letting their left hand knowing what their right hand is doing).

 

[Penelope]

I disagree with a civil suit if one is found not guilty of the crime.

I have no idea who Allen Clifton is , but I agree with his letter.

Here's a way to fin d out more about him.

"About Allen Clifton

Allen is a co-founder of Forward Progressives and creator of the popular Right Off A Cliff column and Facebook page. Be sure to follow Allen on both Twitter and Facebook.

Somehow, I dont' believe his religious turnaround is anything more than political bullshit

Austin? That makes him a pro-abortion Dim.

Infanticide? Sounds Christian to me.

Careful throwing that first stone partner

civil liability is NOT dependent on the proximate cause of injury being "criminal". Another
issue is the legal burden of proof
