Nov 2^nd, 2011 at 3:41pm I've heard this be used as an insult by some of the lefties on here and elsewhere. I am a right-wing Christian, and yes, in some cases, I could be labelled as far-right. And what is the problem with that exactly? Why is that a bad thing per se?

Reply #3 - Nov 2^nd, 2011 at 3:52pm There is no such thing as a "right wing christian". The terms are mutually exclusive. Surely being a christian means following the example of jesus christ. Read about his life. What examples of right wing thinking and behavior are demonstrated by jesus?

It does, which makes any right wing religious persons attacks on the Greens all the more arrogant and hypocritical.

Reply #10 - Nov 2^nd, 2011 at 7:25pm Jesus was far far left and he accepted everyone even boat people matty. You and Jesus have absolutely nothing in common, so either go as far left as you can get or ditch Jesus. Which one will he pick?

Unfortunately being a RW and a Christian generally is an unpleasant combination. Those (but not all of course) who continually profess to be good Christians are usually intolerant of anyone except those who agree with them.

Reply #14 - Nov 2^nd, 2011 at 9:45pm It is always amusing to read the comments about Jesus and Christians from those who have never read the Bible, prayed nor go to church. You generally sound silly. And that comes from being uninformed.
