Progressive Christianity

This should go without saying, but Christians shouldn't feel ashamed of casting a liberal vote. In fact, I'm pretty confident that Jesus Christ would have been a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party (if not a supporter of Socialism). Here's why.

First and foremost, the Bible makes it clear that we should take care of the poor, widows, and yes--- the sick. Yes, universal health care would probably be at the top of the Divine Healer's priorities if he was a politician. In fact, Christ's miracles involved feeding the masses, healing the sick at no cost to them, and promoting the interests of those within his society who had no voice.

I used to feel ashamed of my political beliefs until it became clear to me that the so-called "progressive agenda" is more in line with what God would expect from a society that any alternative I've seen.
