The American Gospel verses the Jesus Gospel!

[Jester]

Alright I think I understand what you are saying;

Why are the right-wing conservatives of today, who happen to be quite fanatically Christian, so far-removed from what Jesus actually teaches?

Well that's quite simple, the Right Wing of America is both politically conservative and SOCIALLY conservative. That's what separates them from the conservative parties in Europe like the Tories or Fine Gael.

Social conservatism is having beliefs that are right wing in terms of how people should act in a social norm. Being anti-gay, racist or anti-secular would be a good example of this. They are pretty much run by the Church as well and the Church doesn't like change, change is bad for them.

I belive that law causes one to look to the right or the left which will put you in a resistance from one side or the other but love looks straight down the middle where no laws can come against you. Where there is resistance there can be no peace.
