Liberalism and religion

For the most part, Liberalism is theologically at odds with Christianity.

Jesus was a liberal, and he threw the conservatives out of the temple.

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann

I was not making a sweeping generalization

and

My first and fundamental point is that liberals do not tend to be Christian.

You just made a sweeping generalization.

Re: Liberalism and religion

Pray tell, how was Jesus a liberal, by modern definition ?

What's the modern definition?

You have probably been reading too much Coulter, Limbaugh and others. They give highly dishonest caricatures of liberals.

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann

It should come as no surprise that the majority of Christians have a more conservative point of view.

When I first noticed it, many long years ago, it was a surprise. But it is no longer a surprise, for I have come to recognize that hypocrisy is commonplace.

Re: Liberalism and religion

I've never really liked Limbaugh. But Ann, come on, she's funny.

I really wouldn't know. She does not appear in anything that I regularly read, so I only hear second hand reports.

But this modern liberalism is, at the core, opposed to Democracy, which makes me wonder why they call themselves Democrats.

You have still failed to say what this "modern liberalism" is. As far as I can tell, it is a strawman invented by the dirty tricks department of the republical party.

They want to hand over half of their paycheck to government run institutions so that they can be 234th on the waiting list to be seen by a doctor.

By contrast, conservative Christians are lovers of disease and will, time after time, vote to achieve the further spread of disease and suffering.

Can't you tell the difference between a caricature and a definition?

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann

How, precisely, would or society be better if we had a couple million more "crack babies" in our schools and labor pool, and several million more kids with teenaged mothers?

So you agree with the premise of eugenics?

Coragyps makes a statement that has nothing to do with eugenics. You respond with an accusation of eugenics.

I guess you were right (in Message 55) when you said that liberalism and Christianity are diametrically opposed. Liberals are not dishonest enough to qualify as Christians.
