Jesus facing right and
/
or Jesus facing left

If Jesus of Nazareth was anything, he was an extraordinary friend of the down-trodden, definitely a Liberal, whose advocacy on their behalf so infuriated the ultra-Conservative religious and political leaders of his day that they had him killed to prevent the public from hearing the very liberal teaching that you will see quoted abundantly in Jesus' own words on this web site !
Those who actually know what the Bible says about the life and teaching of Jesus recognize that far from being like Jesus of Nazareth, today's "Religious Right" are much more like the kind of clerics who battled this revolutionary prophet from the day he opened his mouth until the day they had him nailed to a cross. Although these people claim to represent Jesus Christ, they rarely quote his teaching or follow his example. What they do instead is use his name ("in vain") to promote their ideas, ideas which Jesus himself did not teach, and might well have opposed.

How the Republicans Stole Religion
a book review :
In early 2007 the famous liberal pundit, Bill Press, published a little paperback dealing with many of the issues that we have been dealing with for a dozen years on the www, and he does a truly outstanding job of it. Every liberal in America ought to have his or her copy of "How the Republicans Stole Religion" (i. e. Christianity), and to recommend it to others every day. It's the book I would have liked to have written; but I'm glad that someone as famous and well-regarded as Bill Press got to it first. And I don't expect it to get stale for a long time to come, unless we realize our liberal dreams sooner than when we have reason to expect at the present time.
