Question by bettyboo: How did the extreme right hijack Christianity?

What I mean is surely Christianity is more 'liberal, live and let live, love thy neighbour, let the meek inherit the earth, and so on. All good stuff, so how has right wing politics, which believes the rich are entitled to inherit the earth etc, managed to convince ordinary religious people that their politics remotely resembles their 'original' religious beliefs. Thanks for your opinions.

Their "original" beliefs are completely self-contradictory, so they're pretty much open to any authority who is willing to shamelessly exploit them. As Nietsche says, Christianity is a "slave religion". Equality is the last thing it can accept.
