Left-wing Christians?

[Dani Rose]

I have no idea if this or Forum Community is the right place for this, but anyone else like me in the house here? I so rarely run into leftist Christians even in my real life, so I'm very curious.

[Alben Barkley]

Paging BRTD!

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

I'm one. Socially conservative, at that

[Orwell]

BRTD is exactly the kind of guy you're looking for, although left-wing Christianity is pretty popular in Latin America IIRC.

[JGibson]

I am one as well.

[John Dule]

You've come to the right place.

It's called Secularism, no matter if it's political or Religious and Traditional if it's right Wing

That's OC. He makes bizarre posts and most of the forum loves him for it.

OC is a great poster and you can't change my mind.

Hi. Seems to be a D-MN thing here haha.

The other most notable one here is Scott.

What type/denomination are you btw? I'm non-denominational as is my church, Scott is Episcopalian.

Non-denominational as well, with extremely loosely Protestant sensibilities. I tried churches (I do respect what the Episcopalians have going for them), but ultimately felt most content with private worship. I consider myself to be pretty devout, but it's a very personal thing for me, outside of the ways my faith colors my political beliefs.

Never mind, you’re at the complete wrong place.

I mean, I talk about it, I just don't gather in person about it. That sounds like crowds.

[ListMan38]

Yeah that's me

1. I like supporting the poor
2. Corporations pursue whatever's profitable (even if it is wrong), making Christianity not particularly compatible with capitalism

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'm a left-wing Christian as well. It's a perspective pretty commonly discussed on our Religion & Philosophy board, which I moderate. Welcome to the forum!

[TDAS04]

I am too.  I’m basically Episcolutheran.

NGL, I think my version of Christianity is actually the closest to BRTD's of anyone on the Forum (although our aesthetics and politics are very different, ofc)

Is your version of Christianity heavily influenced by emotional hardcore music of the mid-to-late 90s?

Literally LOL'd at this.

Never change, BRTD. Never change.

This song legitimately counts as a hymn and I won't hear it otherwise.

Genuinely didn't expect this kind of response to my first thread, and I just- wow. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome. May God bless your days, or for those of you who would prefer, y'all just have a good one.

I grew up left wing and Christian. Then again I was born and bred and the Aussie version of Washington DC. Christianity is neither left nor right. It's pro truth, justice, redemption and forgiveness. Something sadly lacking on both sides of the political aisle.

It's increasingly harder to speak the truth in love to someone who has an immediate bias or even hatred against oneself and what ever you say. Especially when their categorization of what you're saying is completely uncharitable, reductionist or straw manned. I enjoy a good stir and a good laugh, so maybe I've cost myself a sincere exchange of ideas outside of an audio convo (either on a voice chat or in person). People don't see things how things are, people see things how they (the individual/s) are.

I would not consider myself "leftwing" now tho
