To be clear I'm not becoming Conservative or any ive or ism for that matter. I'm going to divorce myself from politics for a bit. I felt like the Holy Spirit (or my conscience, or something) is telling me to back away and focus on Christ. For the record I still have love for all my Liberal...

As crazy as this might sound, deciding to be a non-literalist actually helped my faith. I think for a lot of people tend to be black and white thinkers. I'm pretty much the opposite. I see the beauty in Christianity and the moral to the stories. It doesn't really matter if the stories are 100%...

Well said.

You see what you just did there? You used stereotypes. MUSLIMS are prepared to die to resist change. Something I talked about in the last post. All Muslims aren't coming to get you. You're feeding into the lies that make the machine move. What in fact makes homosexuality lascivious? What makes...

Satire what is it? In the modern day Republican Politicians advocate war to feed the industrial machine on a level that's far greater than warranted. A war for self-defense is not the same thing as pushing a military complex down people's throats. Also, please explain to me what the Romans...

Well, since we're talking about stereotypes allow me to talk about how many people on the left view Conservative Christians... First off, many Progressive/Liberal Christians don't understand how the two words could even go together. Conservatives have a love of war and money that seems to be...

Well, I'm in the American South. While I don't dispute those numbers, it certainly seems different here.lol

I still don't understand how homosexuality is the great sin that divides the Christian Church. I'm convinced you can do just about everything else and be accepted in most churches. Very odd. I really think murderers are more likely to be welcomed in than homosexuals in committed relationships...

I realized a lot of times when I post here, I just go on and on about how everything should be more progressive ( I still think it should ;) ) . However, I'd like to quickly say I'm grateful all of you have been here throughout the years. Also, to the new people who have recently come in and...

Move in a positive direction. For a long time I've felt like LGBT Christians are marginalized here. Bothered me greatly. Wanted everyone to be able to participate in this great forum.

I was really thinking about it and most of my stances beyond a few aren't that different from our Conservative brothers and sisters. Many I've met are for loving their neighbor, spreading hope, and trusting in Christ. Very thought provoking post Qyot. I'm going to think on this and repost.

I'm gonna fourth this. Jesus is of love, why wouldn't he love the Trans community?

I'm Liberal and I support the death penalty for the most part. I do feel like its used unfairly. A bit racist. But the concept that certain very violent people that may hurt children are put to death? I'm okay with that for the most part.

Reddit is actually a pretty amazing place. They have so many subforums, almost anything that interests you is there. I read Radical Christianity from time to time. Really good subreddit. BTW I don't pay anything. I do fine without the enhanced membership.

I like Kerouac, Jim Carroll and Rimbaud.

Was playing GW2, but currently looking for something new. Maybe, a sandbox type. Tried some FPS, but boy am I terrible. LOL

Thanks guys. Will check out some nonspecific groups and that FB group as well. Also, Anto9us I feel your pain. Being a Liberal Christian can be somewhat difficult at times.

A little off topic here...Are you still very young? Maybe, a move to an area with more diversity would be what you really need! I feel so sorry for young brothers and sisters who live somewhere they feel misunderstood.

I've been here for quite a while, and pretty much only post here. I've tried a few other subforums, but mostly here due to my fear that I'll be embroiled in a back and forth then banned. Any other spots on here safe for Liberals Christians like myself? Really not interested in the debate...

For me personally, it is more of an action based evangelism. Really helping people, feed the poor, loving the downtrodden (LGBTQ included), caring for the ill, soothing the depressed and anxious etc... Hanging out on a corner, pointing a finger at people walking by, that's easy. Picking the...
