Religious Irony


He lived with the poor. He cared about health care for those who couldn't afford it. He took a vow of poverty. Yes, in modern terms, Jesus Christ of Nazareth was a liberal. So why do so many conservatives in the United States claim him as their exclusive property?

It's just another delicious irony in this modern world where simplicity and ease of thought --- liberal and conservative --- is the easiest path through life.

Jesus, how about a special request? Could you save us from ourselves?
