Sure, they call themselves Christian, but their “I got mine - **** everyone else” philosophy on politics exposes them as frauds. They just call themselves Christians because it gives them the undeserved warm and fuzzies.
In truth, they idolize the just as fictional Republican Jesus
Are you really of the mind that Jesus' message was, "Get the government to take care of everyone!"? If so, my question is, once we get the government to take care of everyone, what is our purpose?
Jesus taught us to take care of each other, not to call on the government to do it for everyone so that we do not have to bother. Your philosophy is a kick in the face to every human being who you believe would stand by and do nothing, therefore the government must. Republicans trust in the goodness of people. All we get from your side is what a lousy, deplorable humanity we are. The government can fall tomorrow and Republicans and the faithful would take care of the poor.
