What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?
#34
RE: What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?
I don't know that I consider evangelicals and fundamentalists a separate question. In that regard, I view them much as I view conservatives and Republicans, I suspect they're often up to no good, but in as far as they are willing to color within the lines, more or less, then I think they have that right as much as any aligned with me on the left. Extremists, perhaps are a separate question, but I don't consider fundagelicals to be extremists in the main, in the ordinary sense of the word. But as to ordinary believers, it takes all kinds to make a world, and the kinds that I'm not fond of have just as much right to be here as others that I may be more charitably inclined toward.

I have some qualms, generally, about whether religious belief and the behaviors that flow from it should be accorded special, protected status. If it weren't, it would just be another irrational hobby like bowling or anime. I can understand why it has been given protected status; I'm of mixed feelings as to whether that should continue. As long as it does, I see no reason why fundagelicals should have less of a right to it than more liberal theological movements.
