Why Are So Many Christians (sic) Conservative?

The short answer, of course, is they are not.  Christians, I mean.  Jesus was one of the greatest Liberals who ever lived (God and Other Famous Liberals: Recapturing Bible, Flag, and Family from the Far Right - out of print: used copies available on Amazon). How can Conservatives even dare to think they follow Him?

"Christian" means "Christ-like."  To be "like Christ," one must try in our imperfect way to copy his compassion for the poor, sick, oppressed.  One must "pick up one's cross," or sacrifice oneself, and one's time and treasure to help those Jesus helped.

Conservative Christianity is a religion that teaches that Jesus taught the virtues of the "root of all evil." (1Ti 6:10)    As such, it is the polar opposite of "Christ-like."
