Lots of focus on works and generally rejects the deity of Jesus.

I check their Religion & Theology forum every few days. It's an interesting peek at bizzare thinking.

Looks like a 'cut and paste' theology.

you might find the paster working

It's like looking for a good pizzeria, your convenience and particular tastes are the only criteria.

We call them cafeteria Catholics in our Church, they will never be confused with Christians.

While my first hope would be for these DU'ers to repent of their ways and believe in the Gospel, if they aren't going to do that, I would prefer that they cluster together in "churches" like the Unitarians. These people are much more harmful when they remain in orthodox churches and corrupt them from the inside with their leftism. One only has to look at the history of the Catholic Church in the last 50 yrs to see the results. If a person really wishes to reject Christ in favor of Marx that is very sad and I hope he or she would be changed. But if not, please leave and form your own church/social club/whatever and let the rest of us to worship and serve the Lord in peace.

The Left is obviously sooo inclusive when it comes to divergent religious beliefs, including traditional religious beliefs...

I love the teaching of Christ but not a lot of churches go very far with them. I've been hunting for a church that stresses social justice, peace, helping the poor, inclusion. One where you might find the paster working a soup line. Where the congregation is fighting some social injustice and actively living Christ's teaching.

Iclusion is THE code word for "homosexuality is acceptable". Can anyone please tell me why those who are so hepped up about so-called social justice issues think so little of personal ethics and sexual morality?

4. Definitely check out the Unitarian/Universalists... the good thing about them is that though there is a theology among them, it's the biggest umbrella you could possibly find of people who shared varying points of view. And they wrote the book on the Social Gospel for sure.

I have always said that the UUs are political organization passing for a church. This poster proves my point.

Liberal religion:

1. Feed everyone (St. Paul: "If anyone won't work, let him starve."

2. All sex is ok (St.Paul: "Adulterers, homosexuals, and pederasts will not enter heaven."

3. No-one should feel bad or guilty about anything, especially if it has anything to do with bodily urges, such as sex, food, or the need to sleep 23 hours a day. Conservatives should feel bad, because they steal money from the pockets of the obese poor, who were born fat and poor and can't help it. (St. Paul: -- oh, you get the drift)

Call the local diocesan office of the Episcopal Church or the local synodical office of the ELCA Lutherans and ask them for the name of their most liberal congregation. There's a tremendous range in both of these "big tent" denominations.

I'd actually like to do this in my diocese for purposes of counter-intelligence.
