Explain to me...

Why people back home in the US make comments
against welfare,
for the death penalty,
religiously judge the president's heart,
say hateful things toward people who get an abortion,
who are gay,
or who don't believe the same things they do.
Explain to me why I can still get in a debate on facebook
about Obama's birth certificate being forged,
or the welfare system being abused by everyone.
Explain to me why the same people say this is "God's way" or "what Jesus would do".

Because the Jesus I read about had a pretty blatant message:
Feed the poor.
Help the poor.
Give to the poor.
Love your enemy.
Love your neighbor.
He had dinner with the "sinners".
He yelled at the people who were not giving to the poor,
who judged people's hearts,
who wanted an eye for an eye.

Explain to me why American Christianity in the media, on facebook, amongst people I actually know makes absolutely no sense these days.
