[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.

Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.

Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

    Correct, just like the “Pro-Life” designation, someone either IS “Pro-” aka “for” peope’s “Lives”, or they are not.

    But what people CALL themselves is a whole other thing entirely. Never forget, the Nazis originally, and unironically (in their own minds at least), called themselves “socialists” (reference). And people STILL believe it, DECADES later.

    But that is the thing about Facts: they are either True or they are not, and yet what words come out of someone’s mouth does not necessarily have to reflect that Truth.
