This excerpt it taken from a debate 2004 forum that i was reading.
"I’m 29 now, and I registered for the first time as a Democrat at the age of 26. The 2000 Election changed my entire political outlook forever. I’ve watched the actions and listened to the words of the Bush Administration rather closely and I must say I find their convictions, and actions to be very non-Christian. The fact of the matter is Jesus is one of the biggest Liberal’s of our time. During the days of Christ being Liberal meant being a revolutionist. The word liberal had power, it had meaning; the word Liberal meant movement. Christianity has become the largest established religion in history."
Now comes my outrage against this fool.
1. Liberal ideas do NOT coincide with Christianity. Issues such as abortion and gay marriage are BLATANTLY outlined in the Bible. Since Jesus kinda was the example of the Bible its impossible for that tto be true.
2. Just because Jesus did not give into the pharisees, making him a rebel kinda, does not mean that he is a liberal. I love how liberals paint themselves as rebels, when in fact the republicans are the rebels seeing we are the ones taking all the abuse from verbal assaults such as this one.
3. The fact that Christianity is a movement does NOT make it liberal. How stupid is that to define a word such as liberal and use its meaning to coincide it with a religion. Thats like saying a mug is a kind of cup, therefore the world cup (soccer championship in case you guys dont know) must be an item to drink my water out of.
4. It engrages me that people wish to distort these views of Christianity and make it seem like the fact that liberals accept everything that other people do makes them just like Jesus. Jesus did not accept sin and therefore did NOT accept every action that another committed. Dont get me started on the tolerance issue, ill go off the edge.
5. If Jesus/G-d was truly liberal, G-d would never have had israel attack the countless nations in the old testament. Cuz after all, its not nice, jeez, to attack others. G-d would have accepted David's adulterous act with bathsheba as ok if he was liberal.
6. Lastly i find it funny that this "Heavy Christian" tells president Bush to go F*** himself later on in the same post. And calls the president an a**hole. Wow Jesus would approve.
