Reforming

IF YOU ARE a Republican, a supporter of Donald Trump, and if you completely embrace the conservative political, social, and economic agenda, as well as the message of Jesus Christ, you must, for the sake of your integrity, inner harmony, and perhaps eternal soul choose one or the other, Jesus, or the G.O.P. To be a member of the Republican party, to support Donald Trump, and to claim to follow the message of Jesus is so contradictory as to be utterly insupportable. Particularly people who choose right wing extremism, with its racist, homophobic philosophy, tend for some reason to often be the most devoutly, outwardly religious, the staunchest Christians, while in fact their religiosity has little or nothing to do with Jesus, or his message. Like everyone else in America I have spent my life surrounded by and inundated with Christian religion, and have paid a lot of attention to the four gospels, and Jesus, and his message, what he said, the words in red. Jesus, in terms of redistribution of wealth, was simply hard core. Get it done, he said, whatever means possible. Render unto Caesar, give unto the poor. his entire message makes it celar that he does not think highly of collecting personal wealth. Nor does it seem that Jesus would tell gay people that they are sick, or sinners. he would unconditionally love them, one would think, without reservation or moral judgment. It is indisputable that teh message of jesus is to love, share, and to avoid hatred, cruelty, and greed. The current Republican party is devoted to pure capitalism, while the Democratic party favors of mix of capitalism, regulated by good legislation, combined with socialism, and a certain degree of redistribution of wealth, for the sake of economic stability and aggregate demand. The left wing, socialistic, tax and spend, tax the wealthy and give to the poor agenda of the Democratic party which right wing conservative evangelicals hate so much is, ironically, much more in keeping with the message of Jesus that the conservative Republican agenda. Perhaps some day they will realize it.
