Jesus unambiguously preached mercy and forgiveness. These are supposed to be cardinal virtues of the Christian faith. And yet Evangelicals are the most supportive of the death penalty, draconian sentencing, punitive punishment over rehabilitation, and the governmental use of torture. Jesus exhorted humans to be loving, peaceful, and non-violent. And http://www.huffingtonpost.com/phil-zuckerman/why-evangelicals-hate-jes_b_830237.html
My, my Robbie. Where are the posts about Christians supporting the democrat party and their hypocrisy? If abortion really is murder, then voting for democrats is equivalent to voting for Nazi's. I could care less how many social programs such Nazis had in helping the "poor" if they were systematically killing innocent people. They would never get my vote.

Speaking of which, the Nazis had a fabulous social outreach. They stole from the top 4% of the wealthy in Germany and stole from the Jews and conquered lands, and then redistributed it amongst their base that they relied on to maintain power. The German people had a high standard of living as a result with free medical and social services and free education etc. However, today the modern day liberal steals from successive generations as the mounting debt takes more and more of their future wealth.

I have no problem with charity, in fact, I would support anyone who decided to give.......unless they were barrowing money that was not theirs and that they knew that they could never pay back. For you see my dear Robbie, that is theft.

I have pointed out to you several times that this is political propaganda. That meas the author is not to be believed. Do you get it now?

once again its not about the democratic party, its about evangelicals and the caricature that they have portrayed of Jesus, how you could have missed this is quite beyond me.

I am uninterested in anything but the content, do you understand, its irrelevant to me, why it was written, by whom it was written, for what purpose it was written, these are irrelevancies, do you understand, I am interested in the content, that is what is actually contained in the article. Continually harping on about why or for whom of for what purpose does not address the actual content, its a logical fallacy. Do you understand? Do you get it now?

I should take a whip to you robbie!! 😠
so you equate violence with making a rope and driving out some sheep and cattle form the temple, wow is it any wonder you people have caricatured the Christ. I am absolutely astonished and i mean that sincerely at the attempts of evangelicals to support what is naught but a gross misrepresentation amounting to a horrible caricature of the Biblical Christ. We have had distortion after distortion,

Christ was not interested in the poor, Christ is portrayed as a warrior and therefore war is justified, he brought a sword and not peace, he was violent, he was not interested in rehabilitation, its all about personal salvation forget other people,

look at what is being said here, its absolutely astonishing.

I get it , but you don't. The content is false. The content is not true. So to address the content as if it were true, must also be false. How many ways must I say it before you get your head out?

it is true, for you yourself have unwittingly proven that its true with your horrible caricature of Jesus as some terminator working in behalf of the American government, denying assistance to the needy, unmindful of the poor, invading foreign lands. Why do you hate Jesus so much to distort him in this way?

Fair enough and I agree though I believe in the principle of it I can't understand the blood lust myself. The weight of it should not be taken lightly as humans are created in the image of God and therefore any death should be taken as the destruction of such

It is your distorted mind, deceived by Satan, that sees Jesus in such a way. I see Jesus as one who loves me and every other Christian and wishes us to know the truth so we can be set free to live with joy forever. I see Jesus as a judge of righteousness that will punish those that think to do us harm when He returns in His glorified resurrected body of flesh and bone.

HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Holy! Holy! Holy!

I'll be honest my views are changing a bit...I still love my country but I'm not so sure that our dealings in the world have wrought the best circumstances and if our leaders are hypocritical then it does not help. Don't get me wrong I want to see America be a force for true good in the world but I know this is not always the case. Jesus really does not care anything about our national origin any Christian saying otherwise is off a bit.

I see I am the one making a caricature of Jesus because I am blinded by Satan and you were the one who stated despite the plethora of Biblical evidence to the contrary that 'Jesus was not interested in the poor', who vociferously supported an invasion in which 120,000 civilians have been killed to date including 4,000 young Americans. Who even in this statement above have portrayed Christ as a punitive terminator in some trash Hollywood action movie, machine gunning his way through the sinful populace, consigning them to a place of torture where he shall nonchalantly prod them with a large stick just to make sure they are still consciously aware of their suffering and pain.

You mock the Christ a second time, why do you hate him so?

You sound just like the atheist on here now. Just mocking, mocking, mocking and never coming to the knowledge of the truth.

Who is mocking whom?

All I see is you acting all 'holier-than-thou' while conveniently forgetting Jesus' command to love your Christian brothers. When will you stop paying 'lip-service' to this?

Edit: If it makes you feel any better, you're both guilty of this to some extent. You guys are fighting like children. No, worse than children.

You made the caricatures not me. I responded to say they are not true and you insisted they are true because you read that in a propaganda article from the Huffington Post.
