Any fellow liberal christains out there?

Just curious.

I feel like I'm at odds people of my faith on political issues, and then at odds with people who share my political views on religious issues here on OT.

I'm in the middle if that counts.

And I try to be as open-minded as possible.

:Di dont know what liberal means but i am christan.

I'm here for you, but it seems that most people on this site that are Christians tend to be Catholic while I'm Protestant. Not that there are a whole lot of differences between the two, but still it seems worth mentioning.

I think I am. I call myself Catholic but since I don't agree with everything the Church says technically I don't think I am Catholic. Does that make me a liberal Christian....? Yea I think so.

well i go both ways in the political spectrum, so middle here, im not really a certain denomination but i do consider myself christian :)

I'd probably be classed as a fundy and I think the liberal christians make the rest of us look bad because they cherry pick what they want to believe in then go live life like an unbeliever.

then again as fundies we get enough stick from everyone regardless

/in before religion war

to be fair i think the liberal christians get the religion more then most, its suppose to be about loving and accepting people, not judge them and bad talk them under your tongue. Just my experience of course.

there's more to it than just loving people and accepting sinful lifestyles as being "ok"

It's about loving and accepting people, yes. It is NOT about loving and accepting what people do. Those are two very different things. The Bible says to love your neighbor as yourself, but it also states that, as believers, we must recognize evil and call it evil; sometimes that means telling your neighbor, "Hey, this is wrong and you shouldn't be doing it." Telling somebody that he or she is wrong does not equate to judging or bad talking. Christians are often ridiculed because they make clear distinctions between good and evil. I believe that's something we need more of in this world.

Good and evil is based on society.. When a evangelical group attacks gays they say they are going to hell no matter what.. When one of those evangelical leaders turns out to be gay he goes to "rehab to get the devil out of him".

I am a Christian.
I am a social liberal (believe there are ways we SHOULD act, but that it is not the gov.'s job to regulate it).
I am a fiscal conservative .

...hope that helps

I'm somewhere between moderate and conservative. :P (in other words, socially and doctrinally conservative but politically apathetic)

Hyper-conservative Christians have crazy moments and I see very little biblical basis for liberal Christianity. (just how I view it, not that I'm trying to insult anyone)
