    Starting a liberal Christian directory or portal?

    I found that a lot of the Christian search engines and link directories (and there are many) will not list my website because it's theologically liberal. This means than a lot of other progressive sites can't be found there as well if they don't profess the Nicene Creed. So, what about...

    Liberals _have_ to clean up the faith?

    Thanks. :D I admit I am a hither and thither type. I may come in and post great guns for three weeks then drop off the face of the earth for 4 months. I seem to be cyclical in how I live my life, and not with just internet message board posting. *lol*

    Liberals _have_ to clean up the faith?

    Thank you for your blessings. I am glad you have that dear friend, just as I am very glad I have myd two boys.. even the one who was an OOPS at first. I am glad your dear friend's mother was strong enough emotionally to go through that pregnancy. Not all women are. :(

    Confessions of a born-again evangelical UU

    What a lovely post. :) I am not a UU though I think if I were to change churches that is one denomination that appeals to me.

    Liberals _have_ to clean up the faith?

    No, I agree that we need to have laws to prevent murder and deal with it. However I do not believe that abortion is murder as it is not yet a person. In terms of quantifying suffering physically and emotionally I determine that the greater suffering goes to the mother than the embryo. So...

    Liberals _have_ to clean up the faith?

    I agree with you, but what of those cases here in the USA where some Christians want to control a woman's body, refuse to allow gays to marry, and throw out science and teach religion in public schools? Do they have the right to push all of that on people who don't want it? Isn't it enough for...

    Liberals _have_ to clean up the faith?

    Do you agree with the idea that it is up to liberal believers to control what fanatical believers do or change the faith somehow and prevent fanatics from coming into existence? I have been hit with this idea more than once by posters on other forums lately, so I finally decided to blog a...

    Demand accountability for Katrina

    Americans, here are some places where you can quickly fill out email forms and send some notices to your Senators and Representatives and the media in a hurry. If you need a letter to send you can use the example below (note you may also want to ask why there are so many no-bid sweetheart...

    Rewatching "Fiddler on the Roof" helped with reading the Bible

    I love this movie! :woohoo: It not only gave me a stronger interest in the foundation of the Christian faith, but also it showed me something that I never really got a sense of through the conservative evangelical charismatic churches I've attended for so long... what a personal...

    Are you also unevenly yoked?

    Captain, For my own husband and me, I am a liberal through and through when it comes to universal salvation, biblical fallibility, pluralism and so forth. My husband is all right with ordaining women, doesn't think the KJV is the only Bible, thinks that Christian rock is a-ok and so is...

    Purpose of Liberal Christianity forum

    I think the forum mainly pertains to liberal theology, however I find that often people with a liberal theology tend to be liberalish politically too. You can visit this thread to find out where you stand in both respects. :)

    Are you also unevenly yoked?

    The trick in our home is to never talk politics or religion. I am sad that it has come to that becaue it would be beautiful to explore deeper things with my husband, but we just cannot do it. :(

    Are you also unevenly yoked?

    In my case I am married to a conservative evangelical guy. From a liberal point of view I feel fine being with him, but from his point of view he is uncomfortable. I was more conservative when we met, or rather, I was trying to be conservative because at the time I thought that was right. But...

    Where do we go after we die? And how do you know?

    Michael, I once had an epiphany wherein for a split second knew that I had been everyone at one time or another, poor, rich, white, black, male, female... I'd been all of it. And it wasn't an intellectual understanding, but a deep feeling of knowing in my soul. Now, whether God was telling...

    Where do we go after we die? And how do you know?

    Other folks have found reasons to think reincarnation is Biblical. :) I'll see if I can track down some of the pro arguments, if you want. (NOTE: we aren't supposed to debate in here, but I don't think this counts as a debate since we are presenting info from both sides but not getting into a...
