The Secular Left Hates Your Faith. Don’t Let Them Use It Against You.

As Republicans debate President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, the Left is mounting a time-tested attack. Jimmy Kimmel, for example, that bastion of well-reasoned critique and opposition, wonders how Republicans can support this bill and still go to church on Sunday. While there is definitely a good discussion to be had about how one’s faith affects one’s actions, one thing should be perfectly clear: Jimmy Kimmel and the rest of the left don’t care about your faith. They actively and publicly abhor it.

Take, for example, immigration. Brushing very broadly and vaguely, the typical Republican/conservative stance is that we have borders for a reason, so people who cross illegally should be sent home. The left will tell you, though, that Jesus was an immigrant, and that if you truly love Jesus, you would accept these people with open arms and with no hesitation. Now, it is true that we as Christians should be hospitable, kinda, generous, etc. to everyone. James 1 talks about widows and orphans. Hebrews tells us “to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” We’re also told to be “as shrewd as serpents”, and Jesus Himself told His disciples “whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.”

Clearly, there’s a line somewhere. Christians are called to give generously, but we’re not called to be a door mat. Where does that line lie? That’s tough to say. The Bible certainly doesn’t say clearly. The answer, then, will be a matter of conscience, and no amount of haranguing by a group that’s clearly hostile to our faith should be taken as authoritative. But that haranguing is not in good faith, anyway. They don’t want you to live as authentically Christian as you can. They’re not trying to make you better. They’re trying to make you look like them. How do I know? Let’s look at some other topics.

• Want to end abortion? Keep your rosaries off my ovaries!
• Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get gay married?
• Opposed to homosexuality? That’s not very hospitable!
• Think transgenderism is crime against children? How can you be so cruel and hateful?

Generally speaking, the only time “the Left” is interested in your faith is when they can twist it into some sort of hammer to beat you down with it. They’re not interested in compromise or coexisting. They want subservience. The carrot’s an illusion, and it’s all stick, so don’t fall for it. Greater blessings than earthly popularity await the faithful child of God.
