After all, Jesus preaches charity above all else and taking care of your fellow man. Most Christians, of course, don't follow this in the least. They state "Be Charitable if you WANT TO!" As if somehow it's being christ-like to just hate the gays, and not actually help people. (Because you know, the latter is just too hard)
But if you really think about it, the two are compatible in another way. Getting into heaven is essentially the same as being born into a rich family. Either you're born into a family the worships Jesus, or you go to hell for being born into the wrong religion and then not figuring it out yourself. Born to a Christian family in America? Congrats! You have a good shot at getting into heaven. Born into a Muslim family in the middle east? Too bad! Should've thought about that before being born in the middle east. Born into a Jewish family during the Holocaust! Do I have bad news for you or what?
Of course the absurdity of such a concept is obvious on it's own. But I can see the connection. So I can finally see why Christians are Republicans. Because God is a Republican. Punish people for the circumstances of their birth, punish people who don't follow your own twisted sense of morality, and might = right.
I don't think your post had enough generalizations, surely you could of added a few more?
