Why do so many Christians equate being liberal with being atheist?

Also, why is being liberal seen as weakness so often to the Christian fundamentalists?


Can't you be a Christian with liberal values who is against war and thinks Obama is a great president?Why do so many Christians equate being liberal with being atheist?
I wouldn't want to mess with some of the liberal Christian writers at http://www.talk2action.org since they look like they can handle themselves pretty well in a fistfight. The fact they actually care about other humans upsets 'real' Christians like Karl P.Why do so many Christians equate being liberal with being atheist?
Because they're freaking idiots.





It's almost insulting really. I may not be a liberal, but I'm always deemed a ';weak Christian'; because I don't share their bigotry. As if their religion is somehow better than mine.





If you're a Christian liberal, conservatives equate you with being an oxymoron. I've seen it both in real life, heard on the radio, seen it on FAUX News. If you go to the Politics section right now, I'm positive you'll see some anti-atheist or anti-liberal business.
You can't be anything but what a Fundie says and be a good person, b/c Fundies are inherently insecure and can't have their one rock and foundation challenged or they will mentally fall apart.


My father is one such, though a quiet one. Raised Irish Catholic American, is the only one who insists that both parents were perfect, because if they weren't, well, let's just say he'd have to see them for the alcoholic and terrible ***** that they were, and he'd never be able to deal with the pain.


So Mom, Dad, God, Jesus, and especially Mother Mary are all perfect, as is the woman in his life at the time (long time for two of the three) and that's it. No debates, no nothing. He is 100%, I am 100% wrong, and they are perfect.





And we both get abused for it, so I just don't even bother with them at all.





B/c he's so insecure. And he spent nearly 12 years celibate till the annulment finally came through. And you know what? I believe it. I don't know why he told me, but h's crazy enough to tdo just that.


And she's bitchy enough as a result!





So, yeah, they are desperate to cover over their pain and fears, that's why.
If you believed Jesus is the Son of God, would you think a president who said point blank the United States is not a Christian nation anymore is great?
They are just hateful. The closer to fundamentalism you get, the angrier and more hateful you become. Stay a liberal.
Same reason so many atheists equate Christians to being conservative fundamentalists.





You can be whatever you want to be..I've met a few socially and fiscally conservative atheists too...
Maybe try posting this question on whythefuck.org
I have no idea, they also equate Science to atheism.
i guess because bush told them that god told him to fight these wars as far as that goes. so anything else would be non';sense'; to them.
Abortion is a liberal agenda ! How can one be a TRUE Christian and support the murder of children in the womb ? You cannot be a TRUE Christian and support Obama`s anti religious agenda , his support for queers and lesbians , nor for his support for disarming the US military while all of our enemies are arming to the hilt ! Know what liberalism is before you jump on board with Theological liberalism :........


Theological liberalism, sometimes known as Protestant Liberalism, is a theological movement rooted in the early 19th century German Enlightenment, notably in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and the religious views of Friedrich Schleiermacher. *** It is an attempt to incorporate modern thinking and developments, especially in the sciences, into the Christian faith.*** Liberalism tends to emphasize ethics over doctrine and experience over Scriptural authority.*** While essentially a 19th century movement, theological liberalism came to dominate the American mainline churches in the early 20th century. Liberal Christian scholars embraced and encouraged the higher biblical criticism of modern Biblical scholarship.***





Protestant liberal thought in its most traditional incarnations emphasized the universal Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, the infinite value of the human soul, the example of Jesus, and the establishment of the moral-ethical Kingdom of God on Earth. It has often been relativistic, pluralistic, and *** non-doctrinal.





Liberalism birthed other movements with varying emphases. Among these movements have been the Social Gospel, theological Feminism, Liberation theology, Process theology, and the Jesus Seminar.*** One product of these movements is the heretical Myth of Christian Origins which denies the divinity of Christ and the authority of scripture.***
The only thing worse than a Christian is a Liberal.
I'm sure you could. But I can't.





God Bless
