I never quite understood why religious conservatives aligned themselves with the Republicans. Seems to me the Christian faith is about charity and helping those less fortunate. Republican economic philosophy is ëveryone for themself". It is the social progressive philosophy of the Liberals that they don't like I guess, but I thought Jesus was all about tolerance, forgiveness and loving thy neighbour.

Conservative Christians certainly would not think that Jesus would be a liberal, yet -- as with most things -- they are wrong.

To hear the conservative pseudo-Christians, the Messiah's real name must have been Jesus “Adam Smith” Christ. Could someone please tell me where Jesus extols the effectiveness – let alone the morality -- of trickle-down economics? Or the genius of the "free market"? Or where Jesus indicates even in the slightest way that the Matthew 25 suffering "least of these" should not be helped?


The average liberal, at least in his or her concern that the world's goods be distributed equitably and that the suffering "least of these" be helped, seems a lot closer to the words of Jesus, the entire Bible, and Church social doctrine than does the blind, idol-level market-worship of conservative pseudo-Christians.

We created this website because we believe the historical, Biblically documented teachings of
Jesus Christ clearly show that Jesus is a Liberal. His philosophy, based in compassion,
equality, inclusion, forgiveness, tolerance, peace and - most importantly - love, is 100% Liberal
