(1,668 posts)For the usurpation of the title "Christian" by the religious right, liberal Christians go out of their way to tell me I'm wrong. I'm suggesting that you, not me, could have pushed back harder. I gave up, so I own that I didn't do as much as I might have. If you can tell me that you've done everything in your collective power to change the storyline of the religious right being the real Christians I'll shut up.
But honestly, it feels like you would rather tell me I'm wrong and let sleeping dogs lie. That's probably a carry over emotion, but it always feels like special pleading. There are liberal christians that push back, the Reverend Barber is a great example, but the volume from liberal Christianity collectively seems set to a 1 and the religious right has theirs turned up to 11.
