Christian Democracy is a heterogeneous political ideology and movement. While Christian Democrats hold a variety of views, there is general agreement on certain issues.
Broadly speaking, Christian Democracy is conservative in regard to moral and cultural issues, and issues of public morality and tradition. It can be described as left-wing insofar as it claims a “strong social conscience”, in the sense of emphasizing the alleviation of poverty, the welfare state, and if necessary the restraint of market forces. It may also be seen as liberal insofar as it upholds human rights and individual initiative.
Christian Democracy is a significant force in the political mainstream of Europe and Latin America, but is less common on other continents. Christian Democratic parties in Latin America are generally more inclined to support left-leaning economic views, while their European counterparts tend to be more right-wing.

Oh my God, this really sucks…
smart notice, without any argumentation prrt
Hey, aren’t you the guy that voted for “Best” on my new category “Child In Time”? Yes you are. But I won’t lose any more words about this, because I think people who consider themselves “Christian Democrats” don’t know who built Democracy. This is as stupid as the so-called “Christian Science”. Religion can’t be considered as science. Religion is just resting upon wrong facts and on nothing else.
lol you totally speak nonsense. i think your the one not knowing what the political party CD stands for. even so, is “das kapital” based on facts??? you are full of shit, use arguments when you are “against” something. all you can say is: christians are stupid.
by the way, some great scientist were christians.
You’re the one who started to get abusive, so I have the right to give you the advice to go fuck yourself. I hope your religious sprit will allowe to do that.
like i care lol, as long as you dont come with arguments your still full of shit. read a book, if you know what does are
From the description above I would put christian democracy on the statist side of politics. But from the above it sounds more European economically than what is in the US.
I’m starting to see that European conservatism are much different than their US counterparts.
I’m actually curious though – what is the philosophical basis of this. (Would you say the philosophical basis for Christianity is altruism (Jesus’ life) and nothing else in the bible?). Do you ignore the old testament?
Considering there is not much (at all?) about working democracies in the bible where does Christianity gets its ideas of democracy from? From Jesus’ altruistic philosophy?
Although there was some great scientists that were Christians – they probably wouldn’t have been if they had known evolution – since Darwin, the Christian scientist is a minority. I’m not saying this to piss you off – it’s just now God isn’t the best hypothesis to most scientists.
I ask you these questions because I consider you an intelligent Christian who is open to explaining this to me.
This party is inspirate by christianity. This party isn’t only for christian people. But for all the people. The problems we are facing today they try to solve with christian morals. It isn’t the target to make the netherlands a “christian” state. like islamitics have their “sharia??” don’t know if you understand that word?
anyways, The democratic part of this party makes sense they believe in the right of people chosing their own path. With that there is nothing to be afraid of as atheist. Since the christian morals arn’t as bad as some people think. Whats wrong with putting the “family” as core in a sociaty?
economical they are right winged. I remember you saying in australia right winged gouverment fixt it economical? Jesus himself never had a politic statement. And the old testament was for the jews. So the only thing they have from out the bible is morals. The party is the most central party in the netherlands. giving people their own responsibility without giving lots of rules.
i give you an example. It’s the democratic part of this party that makes abortion legal. But it’s the christian part that makes the party try to reduce the numbers of abortion as low as possible. By education and help for young mothers. But the main things the party do is leading a country for everyone, ot only christians. I hope i gave you enough answer otherwise you would ask me again ;)
Ow and for the scientist thing. It’s not fair to compare back then with nowadays. Back then the whole population was considerate “christians” So offcourse the scientist too.
I don’t understand why darwin and his evolution would be against religion(he was not anyways) Those things can live next to each other. to bad atheist and christians try to put them against each other.
And i never understood why evolution makes it that God wouldn’t excist.
in belgium this party has won tonight. after germany and the netherlands again a country in the EU
I’ve been meaning to ask you more thoughtful questions about this Boomstam. When I get a chance. :)
I saw this interesting quote which may be relevant here:
“Well, Jesus Christ is like a mirror these days. Everyone sees whatever they like to see in that figure which only reinforces my suspicion that the historical Jesus never was. Rich Republicans see a white blue eyed guy who preached that God helps those who help themselves, lunatic thumpers like Fred Phelps see an intolerant gay bashing Jesus and the liberal doves see a “share your wealth with the poor” Jesus. So when you talk of “returning to Christ” which Christ do you have in mind?”
That’s the worry I have a about this party, but truthfully I have about any party. If Christians look at Jesus and follow him because of his altruism, I am fully behind that.
Science is concerned with science. Not with religion. There is no bias. To science, the concept of God is highly improbable. It’s not that science hates God, s/he can not be explained at all. S/he can’t be found anywhere in a materialistic way.
An apt question is “Did God invent man, or man invent God?”
I’m not saying this to offend – I’m offering a different perspective.
About the science…. you are right about that, i can’t add a single thing to it.
