Liberal Christain Scientists puzzle me!

[Nope]

I think that some people need religion and no amount of logical thinking is going to change that. It is better that they follow a more gentle, less angry faith that doesn't promote passing laws to limit other people's freedom.

I have heard some arguments that one of the words that Paul used has been incorrectly translated as homosexual when it was really a Greek word that he seems to have made up. Don't ask me if that is true or not but if it helps them accept homosexuals as equals, I am willing not to call them on their dance around those verses.

Online, I onced talked to a female pastor who made a very good job at claiming that the bible doesn't teach that hell is a real place. I wish that I had kept her argument to use on some theists here.

LOL... Christian science is an oxymoron!

I may have a different vision of what constitutes a liberal Christian - My parents were some kind of liberal Christians and they didn't go to church or pray very often - They read the bible once in a while. I was taught some principles about Christianity, the bible and Jesus, but that's it - My mom didn't allow me to have an official religious education because she disliked priests and thought they corrupted the will of god. My dad didn't like priests as well because when he was a kid he went to a church to beg for some food (back then people were really poor, it was normal) and the priest kicked him and his friends out - What a Christian thing to do, right?
