Do christians who are left/liberal even exist?

Post Reply New Topic

Seems like to me that all christians are right wingers.

Is there any christians who are liberals or left-wingers?

Yes.

In fact, some Christians are on the most extreme parts of the liberal left.

I can’t speak generally on a demographic scale but personally yes I know a good amount of people including my aunt who lean strongly toward the left of the political spectrum. However there are some vocal fringes and elements of the left that would probably consider her a moderate liberal or even right wing depending on who you talk to. But basically she’s very much left leaning and even professes socialistic views as far as healthcare, education and community is concerned.

I’m not real educated in so far as religion but I’ve been to a couple of churches that were open to lgbtq people diversity. So yes they exist even though I personally find their religious beliefs in contradiction to their holy books but people cherry pick or apply to what is convenient to their personal beliefs and values.

Many churches in NYC----especially when it is not Baptist/Pentecostal---or not very "ethnic," are welcoming places for a diversity of people.

There are Christian liberals (not far left, but liberal dems) here on WP.

The civil rights movement was led by Black preachers like MLK.

There was/is such a thing as "Liberation Theology":maverick Catholic priests in Latin America involved in social change, and leftist politics.

On WP, Kraichgauer is a good example.

If Jesus came back today, conservatives would hate Him. He wouldn't be listening to Toby Keith or Ted Nugent and driving a truck like crazy on the highway. He would more likely be listening to Meat Beat Manifesto and hanging out with the alternative crowd.

He also looked more like this than like the blue-eyed straight-haired white guy in most portrayals, since he was Semitic (a Nazarene Jew):



Count me among the lefty Christians. (Go read Isaiah, Amos, and the Sermon on the Mount; then explain to me how there can be any other kind.)

Most Quakers are devoted to the causes of the left: equality, justice, truth, simplicity, earthcare. Most Quakers consider themselves Christian, though some sects do not.

Yeah, my sister is very left-leaning.

More to the point, "Do Christians who are Alt-Reich/Fascist even exist?"; or are they actually just "whitewashed tombs" full of death & decomp? (Matthew 23:27-28)

Matthew 25:35-36
Luke 3:10-11
I John 4:7-8
Leviticus 19:33-34
