Elizabeth Edwards’ Corpse Finally Cools. John Announces Engagement

I’m a liberal, like most of my close friends, and I’m a bit confused. First, few of us would ever consider him/her a leader of any movement or ideology we consider important to us. Second, most of us consider his behavior disgusting and antithetical to our ideology, and would like him removed from the political seen with someone actually considered liberal among people who call themselves liberal.

Third – assuming you claim to be a Christian (your religious views were completely omitted) – your own statements about his odds for the afterlife are plain uninformed. Very specifically, Christians are urged to remember 1) don’t make judgments like “he’s going to hell” and instead love someone is the primary commandment of Christianity, 2) his wife dying of cancer may have been considered a liberal… did she deserve that condemnation?

Quite a few people consider their Christian upbringing (which I’m wildly guessing is Christian by your standards) to be the basis of their liberal ideology. I don’t see God opening up the sky and telling us that’s wrong, nor did I see the names of any religious deities on my voting ballots. Try to consider someone else’s ideology from their point of view enough to come to at least the same conclusions they come to, before pretending you know how they think or whether their Right or Wrong in the religion of You.

Funny which things you consider most important when talking about your religion. I don’t see love anywhere in that. What if this were the only/first impression a liberal gets of your religion? Aren’t you obliged to not condemn them and try to reach out with a message of love, not judgment of actions?
