| Quote: Redscat "Whilst I'm not a religious person, I've been thinking recently about what I would imagine is an ancient subject for argument and discussion. How many people who voted Conservative last week can also describe themselves as Christians. Surely the beliefs and ideals of folk like Johnson and his ilk are based on greed, selfishness, privilege, military dominanc, their "superiority" over the common man in the street, denying certain sections of society the basics of food and shelter etc. From what I've read of the Bible the gentleman referred to as Jesus Christ was opposed to all these traits. How, then can Tories align themselves with Christianity?'"
No offense to you because I've read similar before. But this is what loses me in general, this pigeon holing, reaching to make some kind of point, using Labour's supposed moral superiority as a crutch.
Just because you voted this way, you must be this kind of person, or hold these kind of beliefs.I mean this isn't America, the Cons are not the Republicans, and generally Con voters don't hold their same beliefs on Abortion and homosexuality; we've moved on from that crap as a country and we have a clear separation between state and church. So even though some people on both sides may say they're Christian, like everyone I know and probably any survey done to look into Religion in Britain in 2019, the closest they get to a church is getting married, or attending a funeral, it is me but then again I hate religion, always have but it doesn't stop me holding the same basic morals as Christian. Aren't most people that way?
Like most GE some people don't change, some people do, some float but in most voters they certainly don't completely buy every bit of who they vote for, it's just who they most agree with, or the best of a bad bunch. There's just so much grey area in politics when it comes to all aspects of it.
Could you imagine voting in the last USA election, as bad as ours may seem I still maintain a vote between Trump and H Clinton was a vote between a douche and a turd sandwich.

You see it with Israel and Palestine. It's seen in black and white: Israel
Not that much to argue with the
As say, Corbyn imparticular had this almost obsession of aligning himself with what he believed were the good guys, which also happened to mean his own Country were the bad guys, especially in his eyes. Then again he was the bloke that not only opposed the Kosovo campaign, but denied that Milosevic had committed war crimes. Speaks annually at the Connolly/Sands commemoration in London to honor dead IRA terrorists and support imprisoned IRA 'prisoners of war'. I could go on but long story short, he's spent his career being a serial opposer, it's what he was known for in the Labout Party and what got him nearly kicked out on a number of occasions and tbh as someone who remembers him and had relatives who detested him back then, so much has stuck with me.
Anyway I tap out I'm done on politics and we've gone a bit off topic in a way.
Anyway how about that RL stuff, can't wait for it to start

Good points that you mention there Shifty. I was just trying to say in a simplified way that those subjects and examples that are emphasised in the New Testament are fundamentally more in line with a socialist ethos rather than Tory attributes.

I've seen this a lot on Twitter over the Xmas period - "Jesus was a socialist" and similar guff; it's about as meaningful as speculating whether Harry Potter, Gandalf or Bruce Wayne would vote Tory, in that the imagined political ideology of a fictional character add nothing to the debate.
Unless of course, the initials of our outgoing leader are more than just a strange coincidence...
