Jesus Didn’t Call For Socialism

One thing I can’t help but notice about politics is that conservatives and liberals have a very different approach to Christianity.

Why Does The Occupy Movement Approve Of Throwing Condoms At Catholic School Girls?

This isn’t political expression; it’s a fascistic attempt to silence people.
