So most people think your position is stupid. What's the rpoblem?

Actually my opinion is pretty much inline with the mainstream. Most of the candidates I want to get elected do get elected.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

How do you know what the mainstream is? Only half of Americans actually vote to begin, and the last Presidential election came down so close to the line that it's almost impossible to say who really won.

 

[JellyBaby]

Mainstream is safe. Mainstream is what everyone is and you're not.

 

[Moonbeam]

Almost impossible EngineNr9, but not impossible. Gore won.

So the mainstream would agree that this statement is a good reason to define Jesus Christ as a Conservative

Jesus was pro choice.........right

I think it defines you more as a Village Idiot.

There's a lot of reasons for Jesus to be considered a conservative.

1. Agianst premartial sex
2. Agianst Abortion
3. ten commandments
4. seven deadly sins
5. etc

Sounds more like an uptight wanker to me.He also preffered the company of men over women. Besides, his views regarding religion were considered radical and liberal at the time .Well the UUC version of liberal.

 

[JellyBaby]

5. etc

I was on the fence but your last one sold me.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I will take the time to answer the question.

Why don't you cite anything CNN says that is favorable towards a perceived liberal, or liberal policy. Get as many examples as you can. Do not mention anything that shoots your "proof" in the foot.

You really prove nothing this way, but it is good enough to fool most.

Remember, perception is reality.

With all the political wrangling that went on, I'm not sure how safe it is to say that. They both tried to steal the election, that's pretty clear to me at least.

Don't really recall Jesus saying any of those things. I also don't recall him supporting the right to bear arms, trickle down economics, or putting profit ahead of people.

What he did say:

"Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called Sons (and Daughters) of God"

"If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty"

Are you sure you didn't ghost write Slander, Hayabusarider?

The news media has a massive right winged bias. You don't even know what liberal is, you;ve never heard that point of view represented.

Which liberal are you talking about? The contemporary view, or the one that prevaled about a century or so ago?

You're just saying that. We all know Jesus would be the first one on-board to bomb Iraq. UN be damned!

Well according to Mr. Paltroll he would.

 

[JellyBaby]

Christians tend to support republician presidents because of their stand on abortion. Of course, this is crazy because the president has nothing to do with deciding anything about abortion. I suppose presidential supreme court judge appointments are a powerful tool for "making policy" on abortion but really it's not the role of a president to even be involved in that area. And, pst, it's not up to the judges, either.

Anyway since Rs are typically conservative and christians are typically Rs, Jesus must have been a conservative and of course he would be an R today. Or so goes the "logic"

If God created all life on earth then why would be for killing his own creation ???

This laughable, even comtemptable attempt to use the ten commandments to peg Jesus Christ as a conservative put me in mind of that great Onion article that appeared not too long after Sept. 11, God Angrily Clarifies Don't Kill Rule .

Thou Shall Not Kill. It's a very simple sentence, only four words long. There are no qualifiers, no special cases, and no exceptions. Be it the support of abortion, the death penalty, or war -- neither Liberals nor Conservatives live by it. Only the purest of pacifists do, and I'm not one either. But at least I'm not a flaming hypocrite, trying to use the ten commandments to elevate my political postion over another's.

As for the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Wrath/Anger, Avarice/Greed, Envy, et. al.? They seem fairly well represented accorss the entire political spectrum to me.

So say Catholic priests, Jimmy Swaggert, and a whole lot of self proclaimed pious Christians who elsewise either ah heck boys or get caught paying for prostitutes.

But even I remember Mary Magdalene from my Catholic school boyhood, the former prostitute who quite a few, not all cranks, claim was the historical Christ's sexual companion. And so say many excerpts from the Gospel of Phillip, one of the Gnostic Gospels, texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy", which were unearthed in upper Egypt in 1945.

I ain't saying it's true, Willis, but I take comfort in a Jesus who didn't spend his time on this Earth with a useless hard-on, and all the distortions of spirit that implies. The bigger the front, the bigger the back (see: Catholic priest scandals).

Your first mistake is using the word "logic" in regards to anything religious. Logic would dictate that their never was a person who could turn water into wine or any other miracles, so if you believe that logic just goes out the window.
