What Has Happened to Christians - Part 2 (Repost of 12/30/13 post)

Continuation...

Wall Street threw our economy and the world economy into a free-fall and drove us right off the cliff into a Depression like none since the Great Depression. You did not hear a grunt from the Christian-right when this happened. These Christians constantly wave their flags as if the flag is God and profess to be “the true Americans”, all the while poor kids go to bed hungry and die. When Wall Street perpetrated a scheme on ALL AMERICANS, poor, rich, black, white, etc., you did not hear any outrage from the Christian-right; nor did they wave their American flags. Our economy and the world economy lost trillions of dollars, but they were silent! Here’s a novel idea - why not shout from the roof tops – YOUR TAX DOLLARS, BLACK TAX DOLLARS, POOR PEOPLE TAX DOLLARS bailed Wall Street out!!!!

President Obama has done nothing to the Christian-right but extend them a helping hand. But President George Bush, on the other hand, took the country into a false war in Iraq and robbed us of our national treasure. President Bush also hid the cost of the Iraq war by putting the cost on two different sets of books to make it look as if he was saving money. President Obama comes in and puts the costs of both wars on the book and the Christian-right attacks him for spending more money that any President in history. This is insanity!!

What would Jesus do if he were here now? He certainly would not be where some Christians are right now. He definitely would not be selling out Christianity in the temple. He definitely would not hate the poor and downtrodden. Christ loved all people, and while the Pharisees and the Sadducees were dressed up in their earthly garb in the temple with their legalism and profiteering, Christ was out feeding the poor with fish and bread. He was praying for the masses!
