[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.

Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.

Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

    I have always heard Jesus referred to as “progressive for his time” regarding treatment of women, by Christians who want to escape the label of being considered backwards themselves. “See, Jesus said women could be quiet and listen to his teachings, they would usually be exempted from learning anything, period.”
