Why are atheists more Christ-like than Conservative Republicans who predominantly claim to be Chrisian?

I'd like to consider myself moral. I agree with some of Christ's teachings; the key points of Christianity are very well-meaning. Now I'm an atheist. I think that as a whole Christians are not hateful people though there are some that are hypocritical and focus on some biblical themes while ignoring others.

Hehe those who downthumbed my post most likely ignored the bigger picture.

If wealth is sinful why spread it from the sinful to those who have not sinned?

"Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's"

Materialism is of this world, the spirit is of God. Inviting people into materialistic sin isn't what Jesus wanted, he wanted people to put more interest into their spirit than they do materialism.

Christ preached for individuals to share their wealth...not have the government force them to do so. Big difference especially when you are talking about saving souls. Government redistribution enforces the mentality that you have paid your taxes and therefore done enough. Charity redistribution enforces the mentality that it's never enough but pay what you can. Which one supports a more Christ-like approach?

1, Because what you are claiming is incorrect. You are buying into stereotypes.

According to the Washington Post (which isn't exactly a bastion of conservatism) both liberals and conservatives give equally in terms of charity.

In my opinion, conservatives are more likely to give their own money, and liberals are more likely to call for someone else to give the money.

Thou shalt not covet the wealth of others.

The part of the Bible liberals keep skipping over.

Conservatives are Chritlike.

"Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. "

HA HA ,,nice try.When people who never read the bible try to quote scripture why am I not surprised that it would be wrong.Jesus was referring to one of his followers.A disciple.Sorta like Eric Holder is to Obama.This has to be the biggest epic fail I have seen from Atheist.Just astounding.

He genius that was what he said to his disciple's, not the people.You are really getting desperate and for a Atheist wanna be you need to scrub up on theology to come and play with the big boys.

You certainly are contributing to the political discussion with BS.

So your an atheists
