Oh, I agree Boru. Religious liberals are far preferable to fundamentalists. My point is simply that they stand on weaker intellectual footing, which makes them vulnerable to attacks from the right when arguing scripture. I would love it if no one privileged scripture, but treated it like any other historical documents with some things worth holding onto and others discarding. But that's just not the world we live in.
