Why do you spread malice and hate towards "Republican Christians"?

You Right-Wing Anti-Freedom Fundie Christians will believe anything you read. For all you know that website was created by a conservative trying to make all liberals look bad. Not all liberals are so rebellious, just like even though you're extremely self-centered, prejudice, and judgemental (some Christian), I realize that all Republicans aren't as bad as you.

Because there is something seriously wrong with all people who consider themselves conservative christiians, and any other religion for that matter. No matter how high and mighty they think they are, everyone is flawed, and religion causes war.

surely it is fear that they themselves are not on the right path and will go to hell;by condeming others for wrongdoing they reinforce the idea that they are right\nthe christian message is basically a message of love and an obsession with rules is condemned by the church as legalism

Good, deep, question, my friend.\n\nLiberals (not as individuals, but overall as a group) hate Jesus and Christianity for two reasons.  One, they worship Bill Clinton, so there is no room for another diety in their world.  Two, the word of Jesus teaches morality, responsibility, honesty, and self-determination.  That all runs completely counter to everything liberals believe in.\n\nSorry liberals.  I hate to call you out like that, but look at your heroes and tell me they aren't a bit challenged in these areas (the Clintons, the Kennedys, Michael Moore...).

For the same reason the hate Christians with a passion,no morals.

This is a GREAT question,(for me anyway)because it touches on two points that have been driving me crazy lately. The first is the intolerance some people display towards Christians. I have a hard time understanding how someone can call themselves a liberal and state that they stand for tolerance and understanding but then down people who are practicing Christians. It's a double standard and hypocritical to boot. Every issue in this country seems to gravitate to ridiculous extremes-there's never a sensible and practical middle ground. Though I believe firmly in seperation of church and state (which our forefathers took months to painstakingly state in the constitution, and with very good reason)I cannot think of one good reason why a child quietly saying grace over his school lunch should be so offensive to some that he should be expelled from school. It's not like he was standing on the tables preaching or anything. Just silently thanking God for the food he had that so many in the world are forced to do without. It's absolutely shameful. Such people are not liberals in any literal sense of the term, but rather small people with set ideas and closed minds-inflexible in their thinking and intolerant of other points of view. You don't like the term progressive regarding such people and neither do I. I call them "Left Wing Conservatives" because their thinking is just as rigid and inflexible as their right wing counterparts. They have an agenda, and they follow it thoughtlessly. \nI think this stems from an innate human need to feel superior and special in some way.  Many, many people find something that works for them and, out of this need, become convinced that their way is the ONLY way. Stupid, yes, arrogant, yes but that's how it seems to work.\nThat being said, let me lob one at the other extreme and say that I'm really tired of hearing certain elements of the Christian Right raving about how oppressed and persecuted the poor helpless Christians are. Let me explain something to you folks-Christianity is by far the majority religion in this country. It is also the richest and has the greatest representation in our government. The Christian Right has more politicians in their pocket than EVERY OTHER religious group in this country combined. People opposing you from passing legislation to impose your religious beliefs on others regardless of what their own beliefs may be does not constitute oppression. What they are doing is resisting YOUR attempts to oppress them.  Again, ridiculous extremes. When in all of history has the group with the largest numbers, the most power, and by far the most money been considered oppressed? It's crap! \nThe extremists on both sides are the problem.  They shout the loudest because that's the only way they can get people to listen to their idiocy. Neither side has a monopoly on intolerence and self righteousness. My solution: Take 1% out of the military budget and build a huge city on some piece of land that no one cares about-White Sands Arizona would be my vote, but other wastelands such as Detroit or Hoboken would work as well. Build a big wall around it and then move all the extremists from both sides in there where they can shout, stomp and do whatever else to each other all they want while the segment of the population with enough sense to pound sand gets on with the business of improving the country. It'll be a better world without 'em. But maybe that's just a little extreme....

They don't.  They harm the cause of Christ by making people equate Christianity with hate.  I'm certain that one way or another those people are going to have to answer for their hatred.\n\nAs a Christian I apologize for the existence of sites and attitudes like that.

GOP supporters fall into 2 categories , one super rich and greedy who love more tax cuts and second are the ignorant bible readers , the funny thing is bible was about helping poor, elderly and the sick and under GOP all these 3 groups are worse off , only very wealthy are better off

Your question, though understandable, is lacking.  You cannot limit hypocrisy to just fundamentalists, or to just Christians.  Hypocrites are everywhere and in every society.  Your question is valid, and brings up good points, but it seems more like a statement than anything else.  I may be wrong, but I feel that you wouldn't be satisfied with any answer that is given to you.\n     Personally, I do not support welfare because I would rather become involved in people's lives and help them that way instead of just giving them money as the solution.  For your questions about war and capital punishment, I do not know.  But I do know what Christians need to do, and that is to be there to help those who need help, and show the love of Christ to those that need love.  Do they do it?  Not all the time. Some do, and some don't.  No institution, society, or group will always do what they should.  It's a sad fact about being human.  Not excusable, but it's a fact nonetheless.\n     As for your last sentence, Christianity is not a political party.  Being a Christian does not mean you have to be a republican.  I do not know why people seem to think that.

People have come to the conclusion that "Christians" hate everyone because the conservative radicals are the ones that get public attention.\n\nAs true Christians, we are to follow Jesus' example and follow the commands of the Bible.   Jesus lived a life of love.   He does not hate anyone, only their sins.   That is why He gave His life to cover our sins.   He loves us even though we disobey Him.   If He loves everyone, so should we!!

Is there such a thing as Christian politics? Yes. And I think it's gone too far. I personally think that the Republican party has become a religious party. People are voting for republicans because they think republicans attend church more and are more faith based.\nMaking decisions based on faith without fully understanding a situation is dangerous in my opinion.

Most people hate christians, becuase that they think that Christians are trying to convert them into something that they don't want to be. When in reality God is calling them to a relationship with Him. They are taking their frustrations with God out on the person that is happy being in a relationship with Him. Not out fault your mad at God! \n\nAlso, you have to remember that God said that the church would be persecuted because of Him. We are called to be strong through it all and and keep pressing toward the mark! \n\nNon-beleivers have to remember that every person that claims to be a christian is not one. Just because Bush says he's Christians doesnt' mean that he speaks for all Christians, just because Bobby Joe from around the corner claimed to be a christians and you caught him doing something contrary to Christians beleifs doesn't mean that he speaks for me. That's the biggest problem, they hate people judging them when the person judging is doing the same thing they are doing. The reality, however, is that God is judging and that is all that matters!

Hatred motivates them both, ignorance and arrogance causes their motivation, and narrow-minded bigotry underlies their ignorance and arrogance.\n\nBoth are brutal and cruel.  Physical violence is more obviously harmful and dangerous.  The "Christian" who does this, by the way, is not really true to his or her faith - and may be considered a cultist depending on which denomination is involved.

I too can tell a liberal just by the way they act...they have a hate basis for anything they don't agree with while paying lip service to "tolerance".  The way they act is so child-like.  What they don't understand is that they are attempting to take away all the rules in our country...commit crime....let them out,  marry same sex...there is nothing perverted about that....be a pedophile,,,,it's ok, you were born that way.....and down with religion, esp Christian because it is evil to have a higher power say that anything is wrong.   It is a child-like existance in a world of theory...global warming, abortion, gun control etc. etc. I wish we could cut the country in half and live in the conservative half!!!

Thank you!\n\nBut it has always been, and will always be, that some people hate others for having different beliefs. We see it in politics, we see it in religion, we see it in racial arguments. \nI once had a conversation with a Republican from Y!A who basically said all Democrats were this and that. I asked why he would say, since Democrats are humans, the same as Republicans, etc. We eventually got into a debate and I asked what he belived in, naming a few of mine. He actually agreed with some of the same things I did and I asked why, even though "our parties" are different, why some can't put the hate aside and work for a common goal. \nNever got a straight answer after that...

To better understand the current political circus in the United States. Since the christian coalition invaded and assimilated the republican party, it is a good idea to study their myth now. It is always a good idea to know your enemy. I thought the socialists were the craziest people until I took a closer look at Jesus freaks.
