John Fugelsang on Jesus’s ACTUAL Politics

<div>Donald Trump and the Republican Party have the backing of Evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians. But if you read the Bible or listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ, it would be clear that their policies are anything but Christ-like. We're joined by comedian, radio host, and NYT bestselling author John Fugelsang to discuss his new book, “Separation of Church and Hate.” <br /><br />Fugelsang shares his unique perspective as a Christian who was raised by a former nun and a Franciscan Brother. He shows the disconnect between what far-right Christians claim Jesus taught versus what he actually said in the Bible. Jesus promoted peace, love, compassion, and mercy... None of which are evident in today's Republican Party. <br /><br />We also break down many social issues that right-wing Christians use their faith to justify. Jesus advocated against the death penalty, provided for the poor, and never once said that homosexuality is a sin. Not to mention abortion, which was weaponized in the 1980s to consolidate power under Ronald Reagan. <br /><br />We hope this interview can help you engage with right-wing Christians in a civil way by pointing to actual scripture, which might help them see the contradictions and lies that their party embraces.<br /><br />READ John's bestselling book: <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Separation-of-Church-and-Hate/John-Fugelsang/9781668066898">https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Separation-of-Church-and-Hate/John-Fugelsang/9781668066898</a><br /><br />LISTEN to The John Fugelsang Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-fugelsang-podcast/id1464094232">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-fugelsang-podcast/id1464094232</a>
