When did being a Christian equal being right wing?

17. I think for me it was when Christians encouraged their politicians to take away abortion rights because

THEY didn’t believe in it. Christian’s complained when any law came along they didn’t agree with. Gay marriage, single Moms having babies, Divorce even if you want to go back that far.
Heart transplants, medical science breakthroughs that they didn’t prove of. Just the relentless harping about Christian values and their beliefs. Hearing it from the pulpits. Making it talking points with politicians on interviews and such. Bringing Christianity into every single issue. Yea, it shouldn’t be held against you. It’s just a political hot button right now. Please understand and don’t take it personally. But it’s like I told my dear sweet Mother in Law; “ the rest of us are growing weary of your ‘expertise’ in all moral issues. It’s like nobody else’s feeling mattered but hers because ‘she was right and everybody else was wrong’”. I told her (after 25 years of biting my tongue) that I didn’t make it my purpose in life to talk HER out of her deepest beliefs. That would show a lack of respect for others. And she should respect my boundaries and drop it.
She did.
We all have feelings here. Sorry if yours got hurt.
I don’t want Christians to EVER feel unwelcome here. Ever! Nor Muslins or Atheists. There is a reason for separation of church and state.
