I've noticed something on these forums. Those who are followers of Jesus, who believe that he is the messiah who died for their sins, come up with all sorts of novel labels rather than simply identifying as Christian.
Can someone please explain to me why?
Professor Henry Higgens (My Fair Lady) said "Why can't a woman be more like a man."
CHRISTIANS FOR SATAN:
What exactly are mainstream Christians today? First of all, you have to be a avid (no, make that rabbid) supporter of guns, and a supporter of the National Rifle Association if you want to be elected by the Religious Right. Guns are an instrument of killing, and very necessary in the unnecessary wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, (almost war in North Korea), and (almost war in Niger).
Modern Christians are warmongers and they believe in torture camps and they believe that God was kidding when He said "Thou shalt not kill."
Legitimate war hero, Senator John Kerry, was a supporter of guns, and even went hunting during his campaign for the presidency, yet, the lies from Veterans For Truth, coupled with negative campaigning by the National Rifle Association, kept Kerry from getting elected to the presidency. Since when are Christians for lies? Since now!!!!!
President W. Bush, in his various campaigns, beat out legitimate war heros Kerry and McClellan. McClellan was a triple amputee from his war injuries. He was missing both legs and an arm. Yet, W. Bush, who never saw battle, came off as a greater war hero. In fact, as Dan Rather pointed out, W. Bush was intentionally put in the Texas Air National Guard and trained to fly an obsolete plane that would never be used in war (in other words, he was in a draft dodger unit that was designed for kids of famous politicians and the rich, who were given special abilities to evade the draft). Rather was fired.
With so many Christians now following Satan's lies, Satan's cruelty (wars and torture camps, and ignoring the sick and hungry), and Satan's hatred of God's achievements (like his beautify nature...by polluting it and warming the Globe), that it is difficult to associate with any particular Christian group without being part of a Christian group that is actively trying to defy God.
How can a Christian support wars when he knows that God has commanded "thou shalt not kill?"
CHRISTIANITY, THE RELIGION OF HATRED:
Hate Gays, hate Jews, hate Moslems, and want to take legal rights from all of them. They want to teach their brand of religion in schools, and stop teaching science. They want to say all that they want to, then object in public religious forums that people of other religions are speaking. They want to take over the government, then object to objections. Should we remain silent if the Communists take over our government too?
Christianity can't even get along with itself. One denomination of Christian is always bickering with another. There are numerous versions of the bible, and each is worded slightly differently. Which is right and which is wrong?
CAN'T BE OWN ROLE MODELS:
The poster child for abstenence was the daughter of Sarah Palin (Republican governor of Alaska). She had three babies by three different men, out of wedlock, while continuing to be the poster child for abstenence. All she could say was "do as I say, not as I do."
I realize that all humans are imperfect. Yet, Palin's actions were unacceptible. She wasn't even trying to be good or be a good role model.
PROBLEMS OUT OF CONTROL:
After years of having Religious Right control of the United States (and, for that matter, control of the world by attacking peaceful nations), the world is a mess, filled with debt, pollution, starving, homeless, wars, and even torture camps. This is what the Religious Right did to the world.
Taxes were cut for the super-wealthy, with the promise of trickle-down. Yet, that never came to pass. Rather, tax savings paid to outsource factories abroad, giving just enough time for American workers to train their foreign counterparts in new state-of-the-art foreign factories, before being fired. American manufacturing locations (like Detroit and Ohio) are now like ghost towns, crime ridden, and filled with poor, hungry, and sick, and housing prices dropped like a rock.
WANT KEYS TO THE CAR, DADDY, THOUGH I KEEP DRIVING DRUNK AND WRECKING THE CAR:
We put the Religious Right in charge during the Reagan, Bush, W. Bush and Trump administrations, and the world is not a better place now. Yet, though they wrecked the world, they want to rule the world again (and again, and again, and again). It is a power-mad grab for glory, and it has nothing to do with the ability to lead or knowledge of running the world. It is ambition driven cruel leadership, that doesn't tend to the needs of hurricane victims, doesn't help the starving, and tries to block universal health care (called Obamacare). Remember, Jesus cured the sick, and he didn't charge money.
