Almost every position the left has, is actually just an attack on Christian beliefs?

I do not want to copy and paste entire articles so I will post a link to one I like when I put in the Google search why the left hate the Bible.
When I was younger I was very leftwing myself but as I grew older I grew out of it.

Globalism- No Borders or Nationalism
The left is for it but the God of the Bible is against it.

Deuteronomy 32:8 "When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel.

Acts 17:26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

Religion and politics definitely lend to that.

Is this a conscious decision or are they being controlled by the devil.


On another note I wish some folk around here would realise we aren't American.

The United States has 300 million people who for the most part speak English.
I have used my fair share of Fater Ted quotes but they only get you so far.

As for the thread subject, it is meant to be tongue in cheek however I am sure the author I quoted was 100% serious.:)

The source is a conservative radio station that broadcasts the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. I hardly think it's the most objective source for the starting point of a discussion like this.

What do you think the left's position on Batman would be if he was real?

Think about it.

Folks need a moral compass in their lives. Religion has been replaced for the most part by radical social ideologies. And where we once had blasphemy we now have political correctness.

I don't know which is worse.

Christian beliefs down the centuries, were enforced rather than instructed, with strict dogma and dire threats of damnation. Therefore, they were inherently ultra-conservative and regressive against the progress humanity was making in science, technology and the arts.

Left-wing policies (without going hard hard left) are essentially liberal and progressive, socially anyway, so they too are inherently against many Christian beliefs. Its not so much that they are an attack on Christian belief, they just can't avoid not being contrary. You can say the the same of leftist ideology versus any of the ancient faiths, the Abrahamic ones anyway.

Religion is a radical social ideology.

This kind of illustrates the point made in the opening post.

I'm neither pro nor anti religion, but it can most certainly exist without being either radical or social.

Nor does being a member of one faith mean automatically being resentful to antagonistic towards all others.

Yeah you can make that argument.
He was surely an angry young man towards the traders in the temple.

One of the most interesting movies about him was The Gospel According to Matthew (Italian: Il vangelo secondo Matteo) directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, an atheist communist. Worth a watch with English subtitles to see another angle on it all.

He was executed for his challenge to empire though I reckon. If he was crucified, then we can be sure he was a political threat because this particularly cruel death was reserved for such by the Romans (see Spartacus, and see the later Jewish Revolt). They didn't execute thieves that way. So if there were people sharing Jesus' fate that day, they were certainly not thieves. They may have some ideological link to Zealotry. My own personal suspicion is that Jesus of Nazareth did too. A forerunner of Gerry Adams if you like. His biographers couldn't be explicit about it when Rome was still boss in Judea.

The left and the church are pretty close in central america.

You'll find that very few people on "the left" are motivated by hating the Bible, it just so happens that the Bible (and the Torah and Koran) are conservative anachronistic texts with very little relevance to modern times, and so they automatically conflict with modern thinking.

It's easy then to get sucked in and assume you're being "attacked", when in fact nobody cares.

You dont have to be left wing to see that Christianity and all other religions are complete bs with no basis in reality.

I though Christianity was all about charity and tolerance. According to the gospels, Jesus was definitely quite a lefty by today's standards, both socially and economically. I mean, he told people to pay their taxes and went around flipping over the tables of bankers. He was pretty clear about where he stood on the accumulation of wealth and wealth distribution itself. It's right there in the holy book.

I never quite understood how Christianity got tied up with right-wing ideology.

Jesus may well have been a communist, but Karen was a carpenter.:D

Not necessarily christian values, but it is about corrupting our family based moral structure.

Particularly the moral structure of ethnic europeans.

Radical feminism, race mixing propaganda and encouraging all people to embrace homosexuality.

The right wing are just as corrupt though and both wings are controlled by the same people.
