Because Jesus was a socialist

Because they do not stand for any of the values Christ preached. If they followed his word, they wouldn’t be conservatives. If Jesus was an immigrant to the US, the current administration would not hesitate to deport him

Because they use it how the nazi used it. Lamd claims, eugenics, and now days zionism.

I’m not trying to argue just genuinely trying to understand, why do you think Jesus was a socialist?

Loaves and fishes. Rich men, camels, eyes of needles. “Blessed are the poor.” Etc., etc.

What values do you think conservatives disagree with that Christ preached? It does say in the Bible that there were laws of the land that people had to obey. Even when Jesus was born he had to travel back to his own country for the census to be taken. Is that not the same idea of differing between legal and illegal migration?

What examples do you have of this? Those are very strong words and you haven’t even given an example of how conservatives are nazis, zionists, or use eugenics. As far as land claims go, don’t all countries have land claims? Even in the Bible countries had borders and claims to their own land.

None of that is actual sentences and I have no idea what you mean honestly… I know those are in the Bible but what do they have to do with socialism?

If you can’t logically explain your own thoughts and beliefs then you probably shouldn’t be engaging in hot discussions in the first place

Logically I believe that the only thing that determines someone’s Christianity is their belief that Jesus’ death paid for their sins and they’ll spend their eternity in heaven with him. It doesn’t change based on someone’s political beliefs and anybody who says that it does is just trying to prove that they’re a better Christian than someone else which is very clearly warned against in the Bible.

So it’s ok to simply ignore pretty much everything Jesus says in the Gospels as long as you believe in His death and resurrection, right?

That’s actually not what I said at all and a very extreme misinterpretation of what I said similar to how the Pharisees misinterpreted Gods own words of “Honor the Sabbath” to mean that absolutely nothing could be done on the holy day including healing simply because it better fit their idea of what a holy person was and did.

Buddy, did you not read the post? I spelled out christs teachings that conservatives never practice

I did read the post I was just asking for examples of how conservatives didn’t practice those beliefs

Aren’t democrats statistically more rich than conservatives? Can you even name five conservatives who are considered rich compared to democrat public figures besides Elon musk and Donald Trump?

Larry Ellison. Peter Thiel. Jamie Dimon. The Koch Brothers. Tim Cook. Jeff Bezos.

Look at Penny Pritzker or Mark Dayton or Dolph Bricoe Jr. or the Ziff brothers or Alice Walton

Those are all great examples and even they still are not as rich as democratic figures like the ones I mentioned earlier

Larry Ellison is currently the richest person in the world.

1) literally look at the inauguration 2) I’m not a defender of the democrats. I’m a leftist, not a liberal

Wait, are leftists and liberals not the same thing? Is it not like how republicans and conservatives are the same?

Anonymous #3 3d

Lmao no, liberals believe in capitalism, leftists don’t

Anonymous #3 3d

No. Liberals are capitalists, and leftists are anything from social democrats/progressives (think Bernie Sanders, FDR, etc.) to outright communists or anarchists. It’s a broad label, but it’s not the same as liberalism

Anonymous OP 3d

I suppose you could make the argument that FDR and Bernie are still capitalists, but there’s no denying that they borrow a lot of policies from socialism to create a mix of socialism and capitalism (hence the term social democrat)
