Well, I guess as long as I’ve spent the day focused on the gap manifesting between the left and right, it seems appropriate to have found this:
A Christian Can Be a Christian or a Liberal, But He Can’t Be Both
Can a Christian be a liberal? Short answer: no. There is no way a Christian can buy into neo-liberal ideology and be faithful to the bigger-than-Dallas teachings of the scripture and expect to continue enjoying his hard-won religious liberties.
… ad nauseum.
Yup…. this guy’s a big help.
Can’t remember if I sent you this link or not (not sure how to make it a link in the comment section) . From the Christian Science Monitor a special “conversation” that is hoping to bridge the divide between red and blue. http://www.csmonitor.com/specials/conversations/
Thought you might find it interesting. I did.
What about if I call myself progressive.
i guess these people have no mirrors in their houses.
What’s so interesting about the article is that it’s just a bunch of wild accusations about ‘the liberals” (whoever that is) designed to get people worked up, with no examples, data, etc. Basic propaganda techniques, rather poorly executed (for good propaganda you take some examples out of context to make them look like some kind of demonstration of your point).
What’s really sad is that there were undoubtedly people reading it and nodding their heads and saying “Yeah, we Christians are the downtrodden 75% of Americans!”

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

“The most fundamental value that distinguishes Christian Democrats from right-wing Christians is that we value equal rights for both men and women.”
[…] This reminds me of an article I linked forever ago, about how one can’t be a liberal and a Christian — which no doubt came as a complete surprise to some folks left of center. […]
I Totally LOLe’d on the Liberals Like Christ website definition of a Christian Conservative they must have gotten their facts from the 1850’s instead of Today
and even then to be a Christian of any kind requires the Social Conservative Idea of No Abortion and No Gay marriage its simply a fact of life just by reading the Bible
Seriously I think you guys got it wrong on what a Conservative is
although, I’m Libertarian so what do i know, eh?
unless of course, 2 Tim 3:16-17’s definition of inspired is different then what we consider the word to mean today Yeah right
