Change of Priorities

Somewhere along the line, being a "God-fearing Christian" changed from humility, compassion, and kindness. Reading this website it's a wonder anyone ever converted in the first place.

How does hatred, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness fit into the Biblical principles?

This nation was founded on Biblical principles. That is the argument of the neo-conservative right-wing movement. So we should have state-sponsored religion. That is the solution.

Where were these state-sponsored religious people when legal slavery was practiced?
Where was the moral superiority when hatred of people of different skin colors was rampant?
Where is the moral superiority of the right-wingers in dealing with poverty?

Please show me how state-sponsored religion is a good thing (e.g. the Taliban, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and the Spanish Inquisition).

The separation of Church and State is required not for the protection of the Church from the State, but for protection of the State from the Church.

The practical application and the ideology of right-wing Christians do not agree.

What would Jesus do?

"And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Mark 12:17
