[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.

Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.

Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

    They’re not, in fact the typical conservative ‘Christian’ despises what Jesus taught: Care for the poor and sick, and hospitality to the stranger in your land.

    Christianity, at its heart, is incredibly socialist and the first ‘churches’ after Jesus’s crucifixion operated a lot like communes, with shared group meals and living communally.

    I’m not entertaining any ‘no true scotsman’ replies today, that will just get you blocked.

    If you say you are vegan and eat meat, you are not vegan.

    If you say you are Christian and despise the poor, the sick, and the foreigner, you are not Christian.
