I'm not American so not familiar with your politics in depth but I think we saved by the blood of Jesus not by our politics.


Gee, there are so many political attacks on liberals in this thread.

Now imagine what some would say if there had been attacks on conservatives here.

Well the thread started in 2011, so if it were left dead it would be irrelevant.

It does certainly seem like there are a lot more conservative Christians here than liberal ones... I tend not to box myself in with stuff like that because I agree with some of each side... Politically I'd be waaaay left (I'd like communism if it ever worked the way it's intended to) but morally I'm probably like 20% away from the middle on the liberal side.

If you don't want to "box yourself in" why look for a post started years ago and left to disappear for seven months?

On the contrary, it proves that there has been an on going array of political attacks upon liberals for a LONG time. Thank you to whoever resurrected this thread as you have proven my point.

Wow. I thought I was the only "one of a kind political ideology" on here with my Anarchist beliefs. A Liberal Christian...you just don't see too many of those either.

I don't know about in the realm of politics, but there are plenty of people here who have liberal understandings of God's Word. Too many, if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Go into any ghetto and you will find plenty.
There are over 600,000,000 Latin Americans, most being liberal Christians.

Liberal Christian politically or religiously?


Both.


I realize that many right wingers on this forum claim Jesus as one of their own. But whether anyone realizes it or likes it or not, Christian progressives are far more adamant in proclaiming Jesus as their true socio-political inspiration.


Right wingers for example often portray Jesus as a a muscle bound tough guy carrying a rifle. By contrast, liberals portray him as a nice guy surrounded by families, especially by children.



The conservative Jesus:







The progressive Jesus:







Read the Bible - which portrayal is more accurate?

I prefer the dough eyed Jesus. Those paintings you see of Him are the actual likeness of Him. He was really a lot like Ghandi....peace, good love and happiness stuff. He didn't have boundaries and just let people walk all over Him. He preferred for people to just give everything they own away and live from hand to mouth.

I've had at least a couple people on here tell me that they wish I would " take a stand" on the Bible. Thus far none of my rights as a Christian have been violated so what exactly am I supposed to be taking a stand on?

I try my best to be Centrist. Will fail on occasion, though.


As for the portrayals above, I have yet to see any proof that Jesus would have armed himself with a high powered rifle for any reason, instruct Bush to invade Iraq, inspire Queen Victoria and King Leopold to kill millions of Indians and Congolese, or tell Hitler that killing Jews was going God's handiwork.

Fundamentalist think that you have to cram the Bible down people's throats to be a true Christian

He would have if He was building an earthly kingdom. I wonder what kinds of weapons the angels have.

I don't believe in every part of evolution, actually there's a lot of parts I don't believe, I'm also independent.... And voted for Trump. Not because I like him, because I'm terrified of Hillary Clinton. But, I'm pro LGBT pro choice as long as it's before two months into pregnancy, pro birth control, I do hate college rallys because it's just a buck of idoits sobbing and yelling whilst getting nothing done and looking stupid- but I think we have a lot of similarities.
