Why are liberals so adverse to people who practice Christianity?

Question

Why dont liberals have no moral values? Why do they harbor such resentment for people with good Christian Values?

My Pastor told us that liberals hate Bush cause he's Christian. Is this true?

Answer 1

Actually I think you're taking the p*ss here.

I don't think that anybody with those thought processes could have mastered literacy, so I'm taking for granted that this is parody you're writing.

I like to preserve my optimism...

So I'll tenatively give a little chuckle of approval... and then go wash my hands...

Answer 2

No, liberals hate Bush because he's a self-serving idiot. Liberal are Christian too, by the way. And people who aren't Christian don't resent Christians because of who they are. They resent the way Christians look down on anyone who doesn't go along with their beliefs as immoral. Just because you're not Christian, it doesn't mean that you are a bad person. You just have different beliefs. Also, people generally tend to resent others who try to stuff their religious beliefs down other people throats. That applies to any religion.

Answer 3

No, and your pastor needs to stick to teaching about God. Jesus had no political leanings. I am a liberal and I know that Christ was a liberal, so why don't you tell me why it is that Christ would want his people to go about killing other people for oil? Or why would he want his people to be so judgmental, and spend their time telling me how to live in my house? I have no resentment for "good Christian values" but the values being presented now by the church are not "good Christian values" I hope that answers it for you.

Answer 4

You do not have to be christian to have moral values. I don't hate Bush because he is a christian, I hate him because he has done horrible things to this country. Liberals have different ideas and opinions than you do, that does not make them bad people.

Answer 5

Your pastor needs to wake up to reality. Liberals dislike Bush because of the harm he has brought to innocents in Iraq. You call an illegal, immoral invasion a "moral" value?

Answer 6

O_o Awful generalization, and usually a bad idea to mix religion and politics. What about people like me, I am liberal AND a Christian?

I hate Bush because he claims to be trying to propogate a culture of "life". How does sending soldiers away in an unjust war propogate life? How does sending an economy down the tank and costing hundreds of thousands of families their only job and means of support propogate life? How does cutting government spending from important programs like Medicare, Social Security, and education propogate life?

People who hate Bush hate him because he's a darn lousy president, and in fact probably shouldn't have been the leader of anything bigger than his local high school's FFA.

Read this book yourself, then give a copy to your Grupenfuhrer -- I mean, pastor:

DESCRIPTION:
John Dean takes a sobering look at how radical elements are destroying the Republican Party along with the very foundations of American democracy

John Dean’s last New York Times bestseller, Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush, offered the former White House insider’s unique and telling perspective on George W. Bush’s presidency. Once again, Dean employs his distinctive knowledge and understanding of Washington politics and process to examine the conservative movement’s current inner circle of radical Republican leaders—from Capitol Hill to Pennsylvania Avenue to K Street and beyond. In Conservatives Without Conscience, Dean not only highlights specific right-wing-driven GOP policies but also probes the conservative mind-set, identifying recurring qualities such as the unbridled viciousness toward those daring to disagree with them, as well as the big business favoritism that costs taxpayers billions. Dean identifies specific examples of how court packing is seeking to form a judiciary that is activist by its very nature, how religious piety is producing politics run amok, and how concealed indifference to the founding principles of liberty and equality is pushing America further and further from its constitutional foundations.

By the end, Dean paints a vivid picture of what’s happening at the top levels of the Republican Party, a noble political party corrupted by its current leaders who cloak their actions in moral superiority while packaging their programs as blatant propaganda. Dean, certainly no alarmist, finds disturbing signs that current right-wing authoritarian thinking, when conflated with the dominating personalities of the conservative leadership could take the United States toward its own version of fascism.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
John Dean was White House legal counsel to President Nixon for a thousand days. Dean also served as chief minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee and as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice. >

Answer 8

Your pastor, like Bush, is a brainless imbecile. People with true Christian values wouldn't have anything to do with Bush or your pastor - wake up and smell reality.

Answer 9

I hate Bush because he's stupid and he's leading the country into economic disaster and lied about his reasoning for sending the country to war.

And I don't have a problem with people practicing Christianity. Go for it. Just do it over there, and don't try to push your morals on to me. Believing what you want to believe is fine. It's only wrong when you try to make other people live the way you want them to live.

Answer 10

GWB is Christian? Are you by chance refering to his miraculous conversion just days before the election by Billy Graham, (the king of guilt marketing who passed his responsibility to his son like every despot who has ever lived)? Jesus tells us that by ones fruits you can see who follows the Lord God. What exactly are GWBs fruits? I am a liberal, I faught for my country overseas and care about what happens to others here in America, in a democracy that defends everyone who deserves to have rights. Your pastor is a jerk and better change his tune or suffer every other communists fate.

Answer 11

Liberals hate Bush cuz he is conservative and cuz he if "forcing" his moral Christian values upon the US. I am not trying to sound conservative or liberal, cuz I think mostly all politicians are pigs and I don't want to be associated with any of them.
