Blessed Are the Liberals
I find it incredibly remarkable to the extent that Conservative Republicans – The Religious Right – act in total contradiction to the Teachings of Christ. Yes, it becomes clear, in the light of their Doctrines, that they are indeed followers of Paul and not of Jesus.
Where Jesus was profuse with Blessings upon The Meek, Blessings upon the Poor… The Humble… The Downtrodden; what does the Religious Right proclaim? Blessed are the Powerful, The Rich, The Exploiters, The War Mongers.
And where Christ exhorts us to “sin no more” and to “be Perfect even as Our Father in Heaven is Perfect”, the Religious Right finds it convenient enough to rest complaisant in the Forgiveness for Sins which the Murder of Christ purportedly purchased for them.
Christ Prophesized that Many would go the Wide Way which would lead to Destruction, while only a Few would struggle on the Narrow Way of Truth. So the Odds are against anybody who makes this Choice. Most will choose wrongly. But the choice is still there.
