Right wing/Conservative Actions & Beliefs of Christ

[Eureka]

Can anyone help me out? I'm confused as to why the conservatives and right wingers are hitching themselves to Christianity.

Can anyone list a right wing or conservative action and/or belief of Jesus?

1. The Perfect Cloak

Only the evil cloak themselves as the righteous.

4. It works in Bizzaro World, apparently

like you mentioned, evil cloaking themselves as righteous.

Supporting the war but not signing up.

Being on tough National Security but destroying covert operations for political gain.

All very right wing/neocon, but hardly the actions or beliefs of Jesus, as far as I can tell.

2. They are using it as a tool of domination

in a vain attempt to make themselves more secure.

They will not succeed.

5. Thanks, but I cant find what I'm after

You've provided a great list here, but on a quick read none of them have anything that links the behaviour of Christ to the behaviour of the Christian Right.

Maybe the freepers will have to explain it to me?

Thanks :-)

6. If they do explain it

will you explain it to me? You might get something like:"There will be wars and rumors of wars", which they'll use to support the Iraq invasion. Its what I hear from some Freeper friends, don't ask how I haappen to have any, ok.?:>)

[Eureka]

7. Sure, I'll get back to you

if every anyone, anywhere, anytime, can give me an example of Christ being on the right.

Note to lurking freepers, Christ wasn't in the Old Testament, so none of that fire and brimstone shit, if you can.

Now, you're probably not going to find a sentence that read "We right-wingers feel that we are superior to God because ...XYZ" On the Fundy top 500, there are literally 500 sites (I'd look at the independent churches and personal sites) that are written from a fundy mind-set. You can get a feel for what these people believe as you read through all that hate. Before I got to know my fundy in-laws better, I learned much about them through sites like this.

They are hitching themselves on the Christianity because they truly feel that they are the only ones who understand God's commands of this earth and feel that anyone who doesn't agree with them is against God. They are using Christianity to manipulate others. Take a look at Europe's history. They are repeating that history over here. Some of the "leaders" may realize exactly what they are doing, but believe that since they aren't "the Catholics," < which blows my mind that Catholics are now turning rethug> things will be different. A vast majority of the followers have no idea of European histroy involving Christian manupliation because they have been told a revisionist history. Remember, I'm Catholic and related (BY MARRIAGE ONLY) to nuts just like this. I've heard it all.

To really understand these people, you have to read their own words and the accounts of others who have escaped them and/or studied them. Asking the freepers themselves will only leave you with an earful of hatred rhetoric because these people have no honest reason for why they believe what they believe. If they questioned anything, they wouldn't be freepers, they'd be independent or left.
