More of the right will identify as Christian’s but the left is much closer to the teachings of Jesus because the fruits of the spirit are: love, compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness, gentleness, truthfulness, brotherhood, forbearance, faith, joy, just to name a few.

When thinking of those “fruits” not many people think of the conservative Christian’s. It bothers me more than anything they hide behind their “beliefs” to push their personal agenda that goes directly against the teachings of Jesus. Gives Christianity a bad name, then again I would say each religion has it’s own group of extremist that make the whole look bad.

I am so far left I got my guns back, as the saying goes, and I believe in radical kindness and love, but to those who wish the same, which is not the right.

This is why my church is down to like 10 members and we're struggling to pay monthly bills.

Give up the building and start meeting in people's homes/apartments, coffee shops and the like. The rest only holds you back anyway. Imagine good tippers who the wait staff eagerly looks forward to returning regularly - what a reversal that would be from when "Christians" show up after "cHuRcH" and abuse them!
