52. They are not Christians. They have hi-jacked the
name of a man who, if he was alive today, would be crucified all over again by those same faux 'christians'. They promote everything he was against.

If anything, Jesus, whose name they have appropriated, but whose message they rarely quote, was a Liberal, a Socialist. Everything they are against. Which is why they quote the Old Testament. I have had many confrontations with far rightwingnuts and have asked them over and over to quote Jesus on eg, abortion, gays, war and not once have they been able to do so. They always go back to the OT.

Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and the rest of the 'Christian Right' could not be further removed from the principles taught by the man whose name they have appropriated, if they tried. I wish it was copyrighted as the best thing that could happen to them would be to have them forbidden from calling themselves 'Christians'.
