If you're liberal, I believe your faith is in doubt

Then don't offend him? Elmo and other puppets have the right not to be offended!

Not to mention, when a person removes their hand from the puppet ,they remove its soul.

This isn't just christians, but for all religions

Then being atheist does that mean my faith is not in doubt?

I'm a liberal who doesn't take things on faith. People can have faith in any ridiculous idea. I require verifiable evidence for my beliefs.

I actually feel kind of bad after having read the user's profile: it says she's 13.

Oh dear, and her mind is already that indoctrinated into narrow thinking about liberals?

It's a troll.

Perhaps you can explain the logical and factual grounds for your insight that "liberals are mostly emotionally based people"?

After all, I wouldn't want to think of you as merely mindlessly parroting right-wing slurs.

Is personal experience good enough?

Yeah, I know you secretly love reading my posts and all.

I certainly hope so

There is a clear connection between libralism and learning. it becomes the natural habitat of academics. And philosophical thinkers.

When in Rome?

I recommend this thread be stickied, as it is a beacon of light to the rest of the forums.
Edit: that was probably a bit too much. Mods: pls no ban

I recommend this thread be stickied, as it is a beacon of light to the rest of the forums. Also, in my experiences, the liberals are usually the ones less likely to shoot you in the face for not being a white, heterosexual, evangelical Christian male. Go figure.

As a conservative religious person, I don't plan on shooting anyone in the face for any reason.

OK, good. I would recommend that you continue that path of action.

Depends. Are you 'atheist' or 'a theist'?

Nor do I as a moderate religious person. And (thankfully) I don't personally know anyone conservative or liberal that I'm concerned about committing violence against anyone. I do however know people on both sides who can be downright annoying at times.

Consider the following:

@ChristineM's religion is also specified as 'None.'

It read fine to me. No personal attack or swearing, just making a good point in a very concise and amusing way.

Jesus was pretty liberal, so are you saying he's in hell?

Edit: Oh, she's 13, so she's probably just parroting her parents without any real understanding (which her parents probably lack as well.)

Yeah I was thinking that too. Jesus was pretty darn radical and non-conformist. That dirty hippie...

Personal experience of liberals?
You realise we all have that, and perhaps @Sunstone has had different experiences to what you're claiming.

So...'most liberals you've met' would be hyperbole, I would guess, but going with 'most liberals' starts to make claims on millions of people you've never met based on the few you have.

Hardly compelling.

To be fair, I should thank the person who made this thread. It got me 20 likes for one post. Lol. Thanks everyone.

Slight tangent, but everytime people say that, I picture him in a kaftan and sandals flipping magic mushies.
