Conservative Christian Hypocrisy

-- By GideonHart - 28 Mar 2008

Introduction

Christian Right claims to be the moral and Christian political party. Their position is riddled with hypocrisy, and is focused on a small number of issues that are not central to the Christian faith. Position centered on abortion and gay marriage. Neither of these topics is central the Christian faith. Both are mentioned in the Bible, but are not core tenets of Christianity. Skewed to become rallying points for the Republican party.

Other positions that would be logical Christian rallying points are abandoned, and opposite position often taken. Death Penalty Torture Affordable Health Care Tax cuts for the rich and big business Better schools for the poor War in Iraq Inequality among races and genders

However, despite this hypocrisy, and near abandonment of most of the loving teachings of Jesus, the Republican party is able to capture a large percentage of the committed Christian vote. The right has hijacked the Christian vote by dangling flash point issues at election time and through the use of media.
