Liberals like Jesus all the way up to that "I am the way, the truth and the life NO MAN comes to the Father but by me". That kind of exclusive way to heaven really bothers the libs.
Liberals have a bible that could be defined as "selective reading texts".

Endorse, no, but that doesn't mean Jesus wanted government to BAN him either.
I haven't seen the government closing down too many churches lately.

Yep! Pray to God, and all is well. Pray to Jesus, or to God (same) in Jesus Name, and and you'll offend someone. Which God do these people pray to, anyway?

Republicans appear to be more generous than Democrats when donation rolls are examined.

Also charitable giving increased when taxes were cut in the 1980s.

What does "personally done" mean?

How does national health care equate to one individual doing ANYTHING except paying his mandated taxes?

Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. We have to live under man's law but obey God's law.

Jesus would probably not have voted. Not to stay "impartial" but because He worked on a larger scale than government.

The left mapped out the Republican states after the 2004 election and called it Jesusland. Jesus knows no borders. Mohammed does though, there are references to "Islamic territory".

Someone here on FR had a tagline that was something along the lines of:

God is not a Republican. But he is definitely NOT a Democrat.

Just some hucksterism to get some yellow dog democrats back on the plantation. They'll mock the superstious Christians behind closed doors.

Um...well OK they haven't. But this hostility towards Christianity that is given off by the left certainly wouldn't make Jesus too happy.

I also take issue with the headline.

I ALWAYS vote democratic(ally) for Republicans.

There is no Democratic party any more than there is a Republic party.

"Love your creator, love yourself, love your neighbor as yourself."

Dear Reverend: Most conservatives would agree with you, however, the devil is afoot about the planet and his minions will not be appeased with "love". The "Almighty" Himself, has had to flood the entire planet and destroy two ancient cities to rid the world of sin. For the time being, mankind will need to understand that the United States is Noahs Ark until a peaceful world can be restored.

They always try to take credit for Jesus. Dangerous game, to try to say what God is for or against.

Seems to me that Jesus said: "Thou Hypocrite, take the beam out of thine own eye so that thou can see clearly to help thy neighbor remove the mote from his own." and "If thine eye offends, pluck it out. Better to go through life with one eye than for the entire body to go through eternity in hell."

Jesus was not all sweetness and light, as we know, but they conveniently write out of the NT in order to gain approval for all their mortal sins. At least when I do wrong I admit it, I hope, except when I fool myself.

Jesus taught love, tolerance, forgiveness, charity and humility.

Love? Like love for life? Love for children? Even unborn ones?

Tolerance? Like the tolerance for all religions EXCEPT Judaism and Christianity? ACLU comes to mind.

Forgiveness? The kind of forgiveness extended to Trent Lott after he apologized?

Charity? Taxing the rich to give to the "poor"?

Humility? Like the humility displayed by party leader Howard Dean? Calling Republicans all manner of names and such?

Yes, Jesus displayed these characteristics, however, the majority of dimocractic leaders and followers discourage such behavior and mock those who do follow Jesus.

Hypocrite is not a strong enough word for this guy.

They like the compassion of Jesus but want to ignore anything divine. And hey, He associated with outcasts like prostitutes and tax collectors.

Not everyone had long hair. And I'm sure they didn't wear sandals in the winter.

Somehow, Democrats let others define them as elitist snobs.

Somehow??? They have done a fine job of defining themselves as elitist snobs by the hypocrisy they live out in public and private, everyday.
