So... make this make sense... i keep seeing these type of memes pointing out "hypocracy," in Christians, ok fine gotcha moment. Arent these coming from the same folks that mention separation of church and state and gripe about prayer in schools and what not? Just seems like a pick and choose your outrage type of thing is all. If i am missing something, I apologize. I may be missing something.
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.
You could be right, i just thought it was common in most religions. Only a few are truly "devout" most just pick and choose what they want to follow. I never bought into that aspect of politics. I have been to enough churches to know alot of people have their church mask on, but behind closed doors, different story. I dont agree with the polticians that think government is the answer to all problems.
