What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Oh, I guess it depends how liberal.

But by "liberal" I guess that usually means that they are more open to science, although they are equally obnoxious.

For example, I once read parts of that physician-geneticist, Francis Collins, book about God, and he is using the same tired non-evidence for the existence of God. I stopped reading when he used the incident of his daughter's rape in a chapter where he wrote how God is not stopping evil because he wants to teach us a lesson.

It seems they are not very far from being fundies.

While it's certainly part of the picture, I don't think being more open to science is what defines a liberal theist. I think it's more of a willingness to question doctrine - in re science or otherwise - that are clearly repugnant or anaethema to human happiness. A liberal theist, for example, would embrace something like 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy', but have no problem rejecting the notion that remarriage after divorce is adultery.
