    religious right has more in common with Satan than God

    I disagree, Satan seems like a pretty reasonable dude from what I can tell. If anything, Old Testament God and conservatives line up fairly well.

    Jesus on the other hand was a hardcore leftist.

      The teachings of Jesus, the moral example of Jesus, is totally irrelevant. You can’t get into heaven by emulating Jesus. You can’t get everlasting life by treating people with compassion and respect. Those sermons and shit, that was just a hobby that Jesus engaged in that has no bearing on his purpose on Earth or what a Christian needs to do to be a Christian. The only way you can get into Heaven and see your mommy again is by unquestioningly accepting the dogma of Christianity, which is completely amoral by any humanist standard.
