Christians Are Not Necessarily Liberal (Or Conservative)
You either believe in the teachings of Jesus or you don't. EDIT: The moderators removed the "Or Conservative" part for some reason, before I put it back (in parentheses the second time).

There's the Christan Left and the Christan Right.

It's true that Christianity itself has no particular lean to the left or the right. HOWEVER, it's also true that the members of Christianity who are most forceful about political issues (i.e. You can't do that, it's a sin) happen to be the ones leaning to the right (conservative). So although your debate claim is correct it does not invalidate the concern of others that heavy Christian involvement in politics will likely result in judgements and restrictions and manipulations.

Christians come in a variety of shapes sizes and doctrines.
No one-size-fits-all.

Other than that fact, there is also the fact that Christians, or more precisely, those who adhere to religious doctrine from the Holy Bible, or profess a faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, are in fact political people as well as secular people are also politically-minded.

Given these facts, we can see that Christians are either liberal or they are conservative or they are even neither: Sometimes they do not vote. Sometimes they do not care about politics at all.
Sometimes they care a lot.
It just depends upon whom you are speaking about.

Faith in Jesus Christ is a condition of the heart and conscience: It is not about politics, although you can still care about politics if you want to and be a Christian.

The problem with saying that is your saying that ALL Christians aren't necessarily liberalist. That statement isn't true.

Personally I don’t believe that being liberal or conservative has anything to do with your religion. As a liberal I don’t agree with everything that is said by a liberal campaign. Vies versa, I would image that a conservative would agree with every single thing that in a conservative campaign believes (Religious or Non religious).No one is going to have the exact same belief as you.

 So it sounds like you agree?

If so, you're on the wrong side!

Your explanation makes it seem distinctly conservative... Christianity doesn't have any limitation as to how devoted you have to be, one sect says one thing and another says another thing... That's the whole idea behind those words, a certain in escapability

 So you can be a Christian and not believe in the teachings of Jesus?

That's a new one!
