And if Jesus were a democrat, those little children would not be there because they would have been aborted before being born.
Thankfully Jesus was apolitical - neither democrat nor republican.
Well he wasn’t a democrat but he definitely was liberal lol
Depends on what you mean by liberal. Modern liberalism in the American sense.... has nothing in common with what Jesus stood for.
You mean giving to the poor loving neighbors? That’s republican to you?
Well sure...... 0.o
That's a strange question. I've been donating to charity, since I got a job at McDonald's, when I was a high school student.
I give my 10% to the church, and then I also donate to charities that I approve of, in addition. I also have worked at the shelter downtown, arranging the stock room, and packing food for lunch and dinner.
Liberal columnist Nicholas Kristof once again displayed his counterintuitive bona fides. In his Sunday column, "Bleeding Heart Tightwads," Kristof (just in time for Christmas) admitted to being disturbed by a survey showing that liberals, for all their talk of compassion, are less charitable...

This holiday season is a time to examine who's been naughty and who's been nice, but I'm unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy.
Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.
Arthur Brooks, the author of a book on donors to charity, "Who Really Cares," cites data that households headed by conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than households headed by liberals. A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals.
And this is largely because "giving to the poor loving neighbors" is considered a very personal thing in religious circles. We don't believe in demanding others give. We believe we're supposed to give.
Jesus said in Mark chapter 6 verse 36 and 37....
(the apostles said) "Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
But he (Jesus) answered, "You give them something to eat."
YOU give them something to eat. Not government. Not that wealthy guy over there. Not tax money from companies. YOU give them something to eat.
Which is exactly what Conservatives do, at a massively higher rate than left-wingers and Democrats.
Left-wingers never want to give their own money. While they scream that everyone else is greedy, the left-wingers are the most greedy people in the country. They NEVER demand higher taxes on themselves.
They demand everyone else give to the poor. Those people should give more to the poor. That rich guy should give more to the poor. That company should give more to the poor.
But the idea that they themselves should give their hard earned money to the poor....... Never!
Also everyone else. You never see Obama saying "I should give more to the poor.". It's always "those people should pay their fair share!" even though those people are already paying more than their fair share.
So yes, we religious conservatives do believe in helping our poor neighbors, and we live that out, and do so at a much much higher rate than Democrat left-wingers.
