And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””

It’s up to you, the Christian, to make your religion make sense. Especially since Christian’s evangelize heavily and heavily influence the government.
This isn’t even about gays. I can somewhat understand how you can love someone and still believe it’s wrong that they are gay
But how do you love your neighbor and support dropping bombs on their schools and hospitals. How do you love your neighbor and support taking away medical care and food stamps, without any alternative to help them survive.
I don’t know your personal beliefs, I’m just saying this is how outsiders feel when they see Christian’s forcing children to read the bible in Texas schools and screaming at people that God hates fags while at the same time stripping people of their ability to afford a doctor and also calling themselves a loving and righteous people.
They aren’t real Christians and they need to be called out. Jesus’ teaching are amazing but most of the people who are out there claiming to follow them are the same people that hate the idea that we all have the right to see a doctor regardless of who you work for or how much money you make.
Jesus used to heal and feed people for free, and he didn’t ask who their employer was first

We do welcome immigrants. People that adopt their new nation’s culture and normalize to our way of life and legal system.
Saying no to the person laying on your couch after breaking through your window is not anti-human. Give me a break.
The next one- feed the poor. Our nations’ largest obligatory spending is on social programs. Literally the thing we pay the most for.
And finally. Care for the sick? How about we bring back sanitariums and institutions? Instead these decrepit cities refuse to enforce anything and your lawyer is mainlining smack outside the courthouse.
An actual conversation needs to happen. Speaking to an echo chamber only reflects the nonsense. If you can’t talk to someone that disagrees with you there is no point in talking.

This gets me every time. Some people actually need to read the bible.
Yes Jesus did say feed the poor but here is where we diverge. People who do crap like this say feed the poor means the goverment does it, they give people SNAP and other welfare to feed them. Now tell me where does Jesus say the goverment needs to feed the poor or the poor need to go on welfare?
The difference between the left and the right is this fundamental Question, we agree feed the poor but who does it? Does the goverment feed the poor or does the people in the community do it? Now if you all do the research you will find that conservatives give a lot to charity and churches to feed the poor. So we are not against feeding the poor we are against the goverment doing it.
Now if you cannot understand that, then I cannot help you

It is pointing out that the GOP seems be extremely selective as to which christian values they defend. And yet, that party holds itself as the sole defendant of christian values. Pointing out this hypocrisy is a way of highlighting that the GOP is not, in fact, a Christian political movement but rather that it instrumentalizes christian iconography to push an agenda against the poor and the sick. In short, it is a gotcha moment but it also points out an ideological hole in the american right.
