Why is the Christian Right aligned with the Republican Party? And why do these Christians knock Socialism? Jesus taught ideas close to socialism and would not agree with many Republican policies.

: I'm an Aussie and not sufficiently familiar with the American parties to comment directly on them, but the Bible supports the idea of private property and reward for effort, ideas that socialism is at odds with. Yes, the Bible teaches ideas that are superficially similar to socialism, but as I once saw an atheist (I think it was) writer say, the difference between socialism (or was is communism?) and Christianity is that socialists force everyone to share, whereas the Bible teaches us to share because we love. That is, of course, a very simplistic comparison, but I think that's the key to the answer to your question. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 17:45, 1 March 2008 (EST)
