farglebargle -> Why does Pope Francis hate Republican Jesus? (11/26/2013 1:58:12 PM)
Apparently, given the content of his latest diatribe, he's a commie or something... Expect the right-wingers to freak out.

As do I, I believe he's the right guy at the exact right time for the Catholic religion's survival.

I take it you mean his latest rant against the idolatry of money, trickle down economics and other policies that disenfranchise the poor. Personally I think he is awesome and breath of fresh air against fundies. I look forward to the right wingers freaking out.

I was raised a Catholic and describe myself as a survivor of Catholic education. There's little love lost between the Catholic Church and yours truly. After the stultifying reigns of John Paul and Benedict, this Pope is a breath of fresh air. If he keeps up insisting that the Church remain true to Jesus' lessons and ideals of poverty, service and inclusion, I might have to re-consider my position! Thus far, his has been a most impressive Papacy.

Are you suggesting Jesus was a republican or do you think there were two of them, one for the left and one for the right? Your post doesn't really make that clear. And how do I find out which one my church is worshiping. After all the preacher is a liberal but I would guess at least half of the church isn't. I always thought they were worshiping the same guy but maybe not. Maybe I will stop by this week and ask him. (the minister, not Jesus) In the mean time it is amusing watching a few of the less stable on the left side freak out about it.

You clearly missed a few parables.

You clearly missed a few parables. Actually I had to drop off some canned goods so I did just that. He said there was only one and if he had to guess he would say Jesus leaned more to the left than the right. He also went on to say that there was good chance that who ever said that probably had issues with the right and could safely be ignored. But I am sure you have studied this subject more than he has so by all means please tell me which of the parables is going to explain what the OP meant by "republican jesus" or suggests there was more than one.

The OP meant, as you clearly know, that the pope has issues with the twisted version of Christianity practiced by many on the right in this country. As to the parables you missed, start with the Sermon on the Mount. Maybe if you took that to heart you would troll less.

Well then how do you define "Right" because Christian Evangelicals from Andrew Jackson to William Jennings Bryant and into the mid 1970s (many even today) were always populists and small d democrats. In fact, were it not for the complete and total embrace of Abortion on Demand and Homosexual Marriage, many Evangelicals would still be in lock step the Big D Democrats.

I was asking the OP what he meant by "republican jesus", I have said it twice now yet you seem unable to comprehend. Why don't you let him answer the question and go troll some where else for a while. Edited to add I find it funny as hell that someone who has told us over and over what a joke the bible is, now is insisting I not only read it but follow it's laws.

You profess to be Christian. I hold people to their claims. So why do you not even try to live up to the most basic tenet of your faith?

For some people, especially our Self Proclaimed Resident Experts on Everything, Anything and Everything Else Too, the gap between Knowledge and interpretation has long since ceased to apply - except to Other People of course. Regardless of the topic, our Self Proclaimed Resident Experts on Everything, Anything and Everything Else Too possess a monopoly on the Truth, the "facts of the matter" and Knowledge. The rest of us are reduced to dabbling in interpretations of the data/evidence, which are always unreliable unless given the Stamp of Approval by one of our Self Proclaimed Resident Experts on Everything, Anything and Everything Else Too Oddly enough, I can't recall an occasion when one of our Self Proclaimed Resident Experts on Everything, Anything and Everything Else Too offered us any insights into wisdom, though I hasten to add that I await, with bated breath and drooling with anticipation, their no doubt erudite views on the matter.

If the Sermon on the Mount is not at the heart of Christianity, as it is explained in the Gospels, then what is?

But they still take my breath away when one happens to me. Well you heard it here first, Christians. If you foolishly thought that the tenets of your faith were set forth in the Nicene and Apostolic creeds, you now have it straight from some guy on an Internet message board that you're wrong. K.
