Christianity.

Christianity is not merely conforming to some conservative political/social agenda.

In fact the teachings of the prophets and of Jesus challenge the practices of the conservative establishment.

But conservative authorities in the Church dominate and manipulate others in order to maintain their power. 

And unfortunately they ally themselves with worldly powers like the corporations and conservative political parties to reinforce it.

"'You Hypocrites!'"  Matthew 15:7 (NRSV) 

Jesus prophesied that the way of the world is evil.  (John 7:7)

And it was the religious and political authorities of the time who killed Jesus.

So don't submit to pressure from Conservatives to conform to their political views.

They will threaten you and intimidate you.

But instead adhere to the message of the prophets and of Jesus.

And that is: forgiveness, compassion, charity, and love.

It is "good news to the poor."  Luke 4:18 (NRSV)
