Right Wing Evangelicals Got It Wrong

The racism and me-firstism of the religious right in their treatment of undocumented workers is an outrage against the teachings of Jesus. Every Republican candidate for president tries to outdo the other on discriminating against Mexican undocumented workers who are in the US because employers, mostly Republicans, want their cheap labor but not their fellowship.

Jesus said to love thy neighbor as thyself. He did not say to love only right wing Loonies like yourself, and hate those who are not as well off as you, who do not have the same color skin as you, who come from a country poorer than yours. He did not discriminate as conservative Christians do.

Jesus would vomit if he could see what conservatives have done IN HIS NAME. Jesus taught the prophets to teach us to love God unconditionally and to love thy neighbor as thyself ... no equivocation, no quibbling, no discriminating. Jesus was a straight talker unlike many of his current evangelical followers who do not seem to understand his teachings.

The US Constitution guarantees freedom of religion which includes the right not to believe, which many of the current band of intolerants have ignored or forgotten or never knew. Bigotry and racism have no place in the teachings of Jesus.
