Christianity is not conservative

Christianity is not conservative, and America is not Christian. Christianity is about giving and sacrifice. It’s about loving everyone and judging no one. It’s about welcoming and feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, comforting the sick and dying.

If America were a Christian nation, every man with two shirts would send one to Africa. People wouldn’t go to prison for addiction.

If America were Christian, twelve million doors would be open tonight, twelve million tables set and lit, so that every one of the alleged illegal aliens among us would be welcome to supper. Isn’t that what Christ would do? Doesn’t he teach us to set the table and call in from the highways the disenfranchised and poor?

Can you picture Jesus down at the border, nailing up a fence? Does anyone out there think Jesus cares about your green card?

If America were Christian, we wouldn’t need to worry about terrorists coming in with explosives, because we wouldn’t have such enemies in the first place. If we were righteous and loving, we would have only brothers.
