I know it's not true. I just did what PrincessAwesome did.On the contrary, so-called Republican Christianity is more similar to Biblical Christianity when it comes to their view of the poor.No, that's the wackiness of mainstream and evangelical Christianity.You should get a load of how different and whacked-out liberal "Christianity" is.I do find it funny that Republican Christianity is so different from Biblical Christianity, that you guys have to condemn the pope. If Jesus was alive today, you'd hate that brown Socialist.
Liberal Christianity? You mean because they don't follow Hal Lindsey or believe in the Rapture?
Liberal Christianity is voodoo Christianity; it incorporates Eastern spiritual practices. It teaches God as male and female and co-creator alongside humankind. It advocates for big government and disruptions in family cohesion. With their noses in the air, they accuse traditional Christians of moral superiority.
Most bizarre, I think, is that they deny the deity of Christ, which should make them not any kind of Christian. But then, as with everything else, they like to change definitions.
But so-called Liberal Christianity is more similar to Biblical Christianity when it comes to their view of the poor.
Conservatives only care about Christianity when it comes to oppressing certain groups of people.

That's not true, because they scream and yell when we oppress no one. Samaritan's purse setup a free clinic in NYC, that was open to everyone, and they tried to have it closed.
As for Republicans and Christianity, yes both care about the poor in the same way, which is good and moral.
You miss nuance.
But what I did was actually true, whereas you were lying.
Liberals care about helping the poor, Conservatives say that helping the poor is "big government."
Conservatives only invoke Christianity when it comes to oppressing minorities.
First, off you are not helping the poor. You never see a Democrat demand to raise taxes on themselves. Are you saying that you voted for a Democrat that promised to raise YOUR taxes? Of course not. Democrats only promise to make OTHER PEOPLE pay for the programs you want, not you.
Because you are selfish, and greedy. You want other people to pay for it. Not you. Haven't seen a Democrat yet on this forum, or anywhere, that said 'yeah I'm middle class, and I demand Democrats raise taxes on the middle class to help the poor'. Never happened.
Further, the number of people that move out of poverty, while on government assistance, is barely quantifiable, it is so low. Those programs that you demand others pay for, don't even help.
And the reason is pretty clear for those who have worked with such people, as I have.
People on government assistance, and are not working, tend to not move up the income ladder, because..... they are not working.
Number one, top factor in you moving out of poverty, is working. I know a lady that worked at Walmart for 4 years. She used the Walmart tuition reimbursement program to get a degree, and now she works as a civil engineer.
If she had sat at home on Welfare, and government assistance, she never would have qualified for the tuition reimbursement, nor gotten a better job.
When employers look for someone to promote, they look at work history, and If you have only been with the company for 6 months, and before that were on government assistance, you are not getting promoted.
They have researched this dozens of times, and found the same pattern. This happened with Bush and the Democrats in 2008, pushing the 99-weeks of unemployment comp. People who came off unemployment compensation after 99 weeks, found they couldn't get jobs earning the same wages they had before, even though they had years and years of experience.
And the reason is pretty clear. Yeah they had years of experience before, but for the last 3 years they were unemployed. Why they going to start someone off with a high wage, that spent the last 3 years being a couch potato?
Have you ever hired someone who hasn't worked a job in several years? I have. They suck. Terrible employees.
Your number one income factor in moving up in society, is getting your butt to work. Every month you waste not working, is a month longer you will have to spend working your way up, once you start working. And if you go back on government assistance, you start all over at the bottom of the ladder.
This is why people have been on welfare and food stamps, sometimes their entire lives. They never move out of poverty.
That's your idea of help?
Let me tell you about Lutheran Ministries here in Columbus Ohio. People are given free meals, clothing, a place to stay. But it doesn't just end there. They are giving job training. Education. Job placement. Work-study programs. Job placement. Housing assistance. Help them find a place to live, once they have a job. More than half of the people that go through their program, end up productive members of society, and start providing for themselves.
Now some refuse. And we kick those people out. Because why should we waste the money and charity of others on people who can work, but refuse to improve their lives? Better to those people moved out, and replaced with people we can help.
At this point, millions of people have been through the program. Democrats, and their social programs, don't even have a fraction of that kind of track record. Their programs harm people. Our programs, Christian Republican programs, help people.
Conservatives only invoke Christianity when it comes to oppressing minorities.
Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. My church has people from Iran, people from Mexico, people from Korea, from Japan, and so on.
I guess none of those people realized they were oppressed. Funny how that happens.
By the way, if that were even remotely true, then it is rather amazing how many millions of people come to this country every single year, so that they can be oppressed. Such a dumb comment from ignorant lying people.
