For all their "christianity", republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical.

Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

Wait until the suckers learn that he doesn't want people to eat animals in the apocryphal writings. But that's just how Christianity works... Take what fits the bill (Emperor Constantine, Jerome of Stridon, anyone?).

    Um, He fed people fish. Apocryphal writings are not in the cannon for a reason.

    Also, don't forget the story where he told his disciples to go fish again, and they returned with a boat so gull of fish that it almost sank.

    It's safe to say that Jesus was not opposed to eating at least fish.

    Is it really? Because some dudes decided what's canon and what isn't? Cherry picking is cherry picking, no matter how you describe it.

    If your argument is that the whole bible is unreliable due to canon selection that's a totally viable argument to make. But that then goes both ways and means that you can't make an argument about anything Christ did or did not teach or do. It means, you can neither make the argument that Jesus was for eating animals or against it, because any scripture supporting any of these points was subject to canon selection and thus is unreliable.
