My mom said that today in church her pastor said in the sermon that Jesus told us to help the poor, and taking money away from public schools to give to charter schools only widens the gap between the rich and the poor.  She then added that Jesus spoke against adultery and lust and would not have approved of bragging about sexually assaulting women.  According to my mom, people got up and walked out.

The pastor also started the sermon by noting that she’d heard of another minister who read the entirety of the Sermon on the Mount at the pulpit, to be told by the so-called Christian parishioners after the service that it was offensive and they didn’t agree.

The Sermon on the Mount is straight up the words of Jesus.

I recently read an article that said, hypocritical Christians in America don’t actually worship Jesus. They worship America, and even then, it’s a very specific, self-centered idea of America.

Do you still have a link to the article?  I’d love to see it.

it’s true though, the fastest way to piss off a conservative ‘christian’ is to quote the actual words of christ

biblical literalists have like 99% not read the bible

it’s extremely strange

I pulled the link to that article from the replies–it’s a good read: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/02/liberals-stop-trying-to-own-conservatives-by-their.html

Seriously. The more I read about Jesus and what actual scriptures say the more I understand that most Conservative Christians do not live the gospel at all and it frustrates me to no end.

These kind of Christians tend to worship the institution of Christianity rather than the actual word of Christ. What’s important to them is that the Christian institution remains the dominant religious force, and while they might not be fully on board with Trump and big bankers and people who want to cut public funding, they know that they’re all good God-fearing Christians and that’s always better than the socialist homos and abortion lovers in the Democratic Party.
