What I sitll find of interest, is that the OP request to meet "Liberal Christians" but when asked, will not define what they mean by Liberal and when those who state they are both idenify themselves, doesn't give any indication as to why they wanted to meet them or what they would like to know.
Thats because Sky didnt really want to talk to a christian at all..... he/she/it just wanted to hurl insults at them and tell them they ar'nte christian or christian enough for her/him/it.
This is the impression I get as well.
I dont see anywhere in the Bilble where Jesus was anything resembling a liberal.... nor was a he a conservative.
I suppose it depends on your definition.
He was non-political if ya ask me..... he thought politicians were a den of thieves, and he was right!
I agree. I would add that He was VERY clear that He felt religion and politics should never be mixed - which was one of the major problems of his day.
I see his teachings instructing me to do everything I can to be self reliant and think for myself.
Agreed. But He was also very clear that any time a Christian sees ANY poor person, even those they would consider to be scum, they should help that person. To reject them would be to reject Christ.
I am VERY charitable with my money, time, and abilities... I raise my children to respect their elders, and to be the best little women possible.
Both honorable and admirable.
If I see someone in need... I help them. Now that dont mean I hand money to every bum I see on the street either.
I wonder how many homeess people Sky has taken to dinner I know I have done it several times.... I load them up in my truck, and we go eat, and I fellowship wth them. Its always a good time. You'd be surprised at how many of those follks dont want to have a home... too much trouble.
I do however listen to my gut... which I think is the the spirit of God giving me intuition
Point being.... libs are'nt the only ones with a heart. In fact, most of the folks in my life who I think are assholes, usually end up being of the liberal persuasion. They dont like to be called liberals either..... why, I dont know, but it is what it is.
I find that often times, Conservatives label anyone not agreeing with them on EVERY issue, as being a Liberal. Certainly happened to me a lot. Think about that. I think Obama, Reid, and Pelosi suck. I hate Obamacare. I'm pretty anti-union. I own a glock as is my right. I would do away with a couple dozen fed agencies and give control to the states. I'm a Christian and think Christianity is often treated unfairly. I'm a business owner / "job creator" (100% American, thank you). I'm a family man. I was against Obama's bailouts as much as Bush's (mainly because of the poor structuring). I could go on but you get the idea. What does that make me to the whackjobs? A Liberal. Why? I give Obama credit for the order to kill OBL in an allied country. I think Bush was the origin of our economic problems (Obama just made them worse) etc... Just a thought for you to consider.
There are good christians, and there are bad ones as well, and that goes for liberals too.
Sky Dancer is intellectually dishonest..... true story.
I don't know sky dancer well enough to make such a judgement but that seems to be the case with at least this post.
