Where is the moral religious left ?

Question

We have divided the political spectrum to left and religious right, when the truth of the matter, ie Christianity, would suggest that Christianity is more about social responsibility and social reforms....so why is there only a religious right wing ?

Seems that there is immoral right and left wings, that deceive us to believe that there is only a moral right wing ?

Remember an eagle needs both wings to fly !

Clue...

Seems some politicians have polarized God to believe the right is right...

You can have corrupt right and corrupt left...the 'hell' of both sides... +

Seems like today the correct answer is a balance of both right and left....

Time the real moral religious right and left united .....

Answer 1

That's a good question.
We are being deceived by the Fallwells, Robertsons, and
Olanskys.

When a pathological sect of charismatic con artists shroud themselves in a religious disguise, its in order to extract money and power from the gullible. It does not make them Christian.
If some one tells you they are a Christian, be sure your purse or wallet is secure - and then listen to that person if you choose.
For the most part organized religion is organized crime.

However there is a moral, religious majority and they are in the millions and millions spread all accross the globe. If they are left because they do not support the current administration or our war in Iraq, so be it.

Real Christians are not seeking publicity and power. They don't need it. Only the religious right wants to create a totalitarian theocracy in the US and beyond.

Answer 2

No. Why do conservatives imagine they personal a monopoly on God, morality, and faith? God is an invisible spirit and belongs to everybody, not in basic terms Republican voters. in case you want civil rights, balloting rights, social protection, secret ballots, the FDIC, the SEC, the minimum salary, the 40 hour artwork, baby demanding artwork rules, nationwide Parks, seat belts, the initiative procedure, females's suffrage, the FDA, specialist social workers and different similar reforms then thank a liberal/modern inclusive of many non secular liberals which comprise Martin Luther King Jr, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson.

Answer 3

HMMMMM. It could be there can't be a moral religious left. It would be a contradition in terms like military intelligence and social security.

After all if you are left it's supposed to be anything goes. You don't want to have a baby just kill it. Just don't let it be born first, that would be against the law.

To be moral and religious means you have to let a higher standard than if it feels good do it determine how you should be acting.

See the rub there?

Answer 4

Although depicted as atheist, there are many in the democratic party that are religious. The religious right is saying it is their way or the highway. This is just wrong. Some, not all religious right use this to expose fear, these people are hypocrites and do not have a clue. They do not know God or Jesus but do know how to sell their ideas, however wrong they are.

Answer 5

There is a moral left-wing. Don't expect to see it by looking at our "leaders", though, same as the right.

One of the traits of a good Christian is humility, something few (if any) of those in power possess.

The Religious Right is obsessed with power and control, and the majority of its members are living proof that, like the ancient Euripides wrote -- "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." God talks to them and issues militant edicts to us through them. Most are Republicans -- proud "born again" Christians who speak deleriously of "God's will and the blood of Jesus Christ" -- but their true religion is cold, hard money.

They walk the halls of Congress, and are by far the most powerful voting bloc in America. When they speak, presidents listen -- constitutional amendments are proposed, freedoms are lost, liberties dry up...

Americans who look at Bush and see either compassion or morality are severely suffering from optical delusion. This is a man who sets himself up as a purveyor of truth and knowledge, but who sees "thugs and killers, brutal dictators and barbarians" behind every tree, and is committed to not let "terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile." (Yes, that is an actual quote.) This is a man who declared war upon Islam --calling it a "crusade" -- from the pulpit of the National Cathedral rather than the Oval Office. This is a man who enjoys what he is doing in God's name, and who promises that he will not stop killing until the entire world is "safe."

Just who IS this God that incites all the brazen hypocrites in our midst -- whipping them into a frenzy of pharisaic attempts to strangle democracy at home and abroad? This awesome creature is on a murderous rampage in the Middle East, Africa, South America and -- as Donald Rumsfeld would say -- east, west, north and south somewhat. Armed and jackbooted, Bush's Diety bears no resemblance to the compassionate and forgiving God in whom Christians have put their faith for more than two millenia.

More and more innocents are being herded onto the world's killing fields by the deliberate actions of a "Christian" nation -- in the name of its Christian God. What blasphemy! If Christians are unable to recognize the difference between good and evil; if they cannot see that those we crush under our heel are also God's creation -- then all those hours spent in Sunday School, church services, summer camp and "all day singing and dinner on the grounds" picnics were a sorry waste of time. You can judge a man by the company he keeps. Those who preach that maiming and killing terrified men, women and children is "God's will" -- who cover up the slaughter of their own citizens and who topple other regimes by force or farce -- are evil men who worship evil gods. And every single TRUE Christian in this country knows it.

Answer 6

There have always been religious left and right wing - and the majority in the middle - I am extremely thankful that I am a Christian and I fit right in the middle!@

Answer 7

Because the "left wing" is open minded enough to other interpetations and tries to explore all avenues before making a desicion.
