Neo-Conservatives Hate God

Given yesterday’s post, “Liberals Hate God,” I thought I should appear “fair and balanced.”

Many conservatives want to conserve true religion. I won’t say they hate God. The aspects of true religion which conservatives want to conserve are precisely what liberals want to exterminate.

But too many conservatives are neo-conservatives, and are therefore like the Pharisees in Jesus’ day, who wanted to conserve their traditions but hated God when He walked among them.

The link to “neoconservatives” above gives evidence that many conservatives also hate God, in that they hate “the least of these,” which is to hate Jesus Himself, and do not extend hospitality toward them. Hatred of foreigners is a hatred of God, and a denial of pure religion (James 1:27).

Conservatives err when they seek to conserve a past which was based on the traditions of men, instead of advancing forward in the direction charted by the commandments of God:

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
Jeremiah 7:24

Mankind has certainly made progress toward “liberty under God,” and then at times retreated from that progress. It is not inappropriate to look back with fondness on that progress. But our goal should not be to conserve the past, or return to the past, but to advance ever boldly against evil and toward the City of God.
