I Wish More People Knew...

...that there are plenty of liberal Christians out there. As for myself, I remain agnostic...I just wish that those on the Right didn't appear to have a monopoly on Christianity.

1. They "appear" to have a monopoly

Thanks to a long-running PR campaign based on misinformation, politics, and general hatred of anyone who's not *just like them.* "Other" is scary to them, as is "thinking."

2. I wish you'd know that even orthodox Calvinists such as myself

do not sympathise in any way with the hatemongering, scare-flaring, hell-preaching Christ-jackers that you allude to.

3. They yell the loudest & longest. That gets them the attention.

I am sick of getting lumped in with them. In my heart, I know who I am.

5. In DU2 Religion and Theology Athiests were the loudest

and so liberal believers just avoided that forum- except for that brave soul rug.

[Thats my opinion]

4. That is a serious problem,

We are not only out there but we are active. it is an embarrassment to realize that when people think of Christians they usually think of right-wing ultra-conservatives. We need to do a better job making the case that we are historically at the heart of faith and are currently active. I suggest we can make that case on the new religion forum--and just duck the stuff that will be thrown at us.

6. the right wing "Christians" now inculcating the Republican party......

......have hurt the Christian message more than anything since the Crusades. Those who do not know anyone who is religious and liberal just think those people represent everyone. Makes me sad and mad.
