My son and I were talking about Christianity last night in relations to the Republicans giving the rich a $70 billion dollar a  year tax break and then saying that they have to cut the budget by $60 billion dollars a year.  That would of course still leave a $10 billion dollar deficit.

Our conversation went on to the fact that it’s the poor, the middle class, and children that will be affected by these tax cuts.  We’re wondering where all the Christians are that should be speaking out about the very unchristian things the Republicans are doing while disguising it with talk about abortion.

Problem was, I couldn’t name any good Christians that were still alive.  Martin Luther King was the first one I named, but of course he was assassinated.  Kind of like hanging Jesus on a cross for doing good.  Maybe that’s why they all remain silent.  That’s not to say there aren’t any good Christians alive today.  But I think it’s because good Christians show more by their deeds than their talk that they are good Christians.  Democrats watch out for the little guy, the poor, the disenfranchised, workers, children, and the common man.  But they don’t do it in the name of Christianity.  They just do it.  My son and I do many things some might call Christian acts, but we don’t do them in the name of Christianity.  We just  do them because it’s the right thing to do.

The problem we both have is that Christians should be screaming at the Republicans for the unchristian things they are doing.  Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor, not to the rich.  But I guess the so called Christian Republicans don’t read the Bible much.

I’m looking forward to a time in the near future when President Obama or some person in power points out the unchristian acts of the Republicans so they can finally get some of the Christian right on their side because they want to do as Jesus commanded, which is to love thy neighbor.
