    Obviously it has absolutely nothing to do with politics, but symbolism about right hand vs left hand, where the right hand is dominant in majority of people and therefore stronger arm and the 'sword hand', while the left hand is less useful.

    Now I am seriously confused.
    I am told that the bible damned those on the left. As proof the poster quoted a verse which seems (without context) to applaud those who consider belongings to be communally owned. That is a close definition of communism. The extreme left.
    SO the verse runs against the poster's claims.
    Now someone says left and right means the strong arm, which also has nothing to do with owning things communally.
    So I have to assume that the quote from Acts actually has nothing to do with political positions OR owning things together.

    Hmmm..

    That's very interesting. I've heard multiple people on the left here wish death upon the unvaccinated. Should I judge everyone here by that?

    sorry to disappoint, but i am not a fan of islam,, or any other "literal truth of scripture" religion.

    by the way, the wahabi version of islam is a very conservative religion.

    You yourself may not be but in general the left tends to be very critical of Christianity while giving Islam a total pass.

    Some even go so far as to defend Islam.

    Right hand is used for good things and bad things. Which arm commits more murders? The right, because most people are right handed. Should that translate to Republicans being more evil because they are "right"? Of course not.

    Back in the day lot of evangelicals voted Dem based on Matthew 25:34-40 (about helping the hungry, the sick, strangers etc). Then came Roe vs Wade, and GOP weaponized abortion to get the evangelical vote. I wonder what would happen if abortion was taken off the table by the Supreme Court. I think it would cost the GOP a lot of votes because abortion is the ONLY issue for many evangelicals to vote GOP.

    I doubt Jesus is amused seeing Christianity being used as a political weapon.

    Why wait until you die to be judged?
    Just post as a Christian here and you can expediate the process.

    THIS is exactly why I am a dedicated secular supporter.
    GET RELIGION OUT OF POLITICS.
    It is STILL corrupting lawmaking and lobbying.
    IMO no faith should have any consideration given to its tenets when political decisions and legislation is involved...or indeed ever.
    This above is as close to the Pope meddling in Italian politics as it was back in the 16th century or in France in the 18th century.
    It invites those with the larget most wealthy form of some faith or the largest bag of money or the one whose head is married to some influential senator to get what it wants. This isn't democracy. This is theocracy and is one breath short of corruption.

    I haven't seen anyone defend Islam as a religion. What I have seen is that posters defend Muslims, for example when the right wants them to be held collectively accountable for 9/11, in an effort to paint the whole Muslim world as a source of evil. Or when they attack Ilhan Omar, pretending that they attack her policies, when in reality they, just like Boebert, think that she is a terrorist, just because she wears the jihab.

    One of the main differentiators of liberal and conservative thinking, to me, has been the following attitude: Liberals usually root for the underdog. That's why they can identify with the poor, the sick, Muslims (who are in a minority in the US)... Conservatives usually root for the winner, and have little empathy for the loser, because they think the loser didn't try hard enough or as some other moral deficiency, or maybe losing is a sign of punishment by God.

    Well when she referred to 9/11 as some people did something and she's BFFs with Linda Sarsour, there may just be some validity to that.

    I think it might be useful if some stopped thinking in gross weight and started to think in ounces.
    I only allow god to speak for a collective of over a billion people and he doesn't exist.

    Mmmm...my take on it?
    liberals often see assumed value judgements based on the relative power of a group of people in society, especially when they are not of the skin colour or faith of the majority, because being part of the majority is safe. They are more open to differences, the individual and new ways of thinking about something.
    They see humans as having innate human rights that can be lost and reduce that value.
    Conservatives feel safe in that majority, don't want anyone to infiltrate or dilute is, attributes cultural longevity to it as a positive value and are resistant to change. They understand value as a human to be earned, not as a given until it is lost.

    Which surprises me that a conservative can say they follow the doctrines of the Constitution which says every human has/is born with inalienable rights, and conservatives assume they must be earned.

    Now here is something we can agree on!

    And the first step is to undo Democracy. While we have Democracy we can vote out anybody who attempts to do those "horrible" things (if you consider saving lives is "horrible"). Without Democracy we CAN'T. And don't think that you're safe if the dictator is a Republican. Once elections don't matter, people who elect won't matter either.

    It's amazing that so many are unable to see the inevitable outcome of where the right is heading. So many think they will be immune by tone and culture.

    i don’t think we are safe with a dictator of any political side but correct me if I’m wrong, your post seems to imply a democrat dictator would be just fine?

    It would be terrible! But no democrat has taken any action whatsoever to attempt to become one. While one Republican (Trump) has and is still going for it. Most Democrats would NOT support somebody who attempted that. But it looks like there are too many Republicans that would.

    You have to remember, self righteous christians lie, it's how they feel better about themselves. The more people they can degenerate, the more their degenerate beliefs make them feel better.

    Stop judging others. Then being those doing that won't be seen as hypocrites and get it thrown back in their face. Live and Let live.

    No, those are individual Christian responsibilities, not leftist principles. Lefties want to collectivism everything into mandatory collectivists responsibilities. Not the same.
