Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

(28 posts)Its the republican party that vocally and publicly looks to represent me. While the democratic party does the opposite.
I'm going to add more to this. My behavior and Christ-like behavior are not judged by what I vote for nor by what you or anyone around me thinks. My behavior and Christ-like behavior are judged by God first and only and simply the truth of what I do in my everyday life... not in a moment in the voting booth. And the truth of what I do is that I look live my life from the waking morning to night on doing the right thing.
I can help the poor. I can feed the poor. I can donate money to people but I can't influence same-sex marriage, abortion, protect my freedom to practice my religion which would in part be helping the poor, feeding the poor, and donating money and other issues without voting republican.
I care about people too but and literally/physically/mentally actually do care for people in real life. Its just that the republican party seems to listen to me much more easily than the democratic party.
Does that make sense?
