ofc there are liberal christians.. but if you took a sample of the population you’d find a strong correlation between conservatism and chirstianity

A lot of British Christians including Anglo-Catholics definitely have centre left and even socialist political views. They are very prominent within the environmental and transition towns movements.

Definitely mate. There are a lot of British Christian youth work organisations that originally I was apprehensive about – however the religion is in the name of the organisation only, they don’t push beliefs and have the right attitude.

Of course, there are other organisations that are unfortunately the opposite too.

conservatism? in what sense? socially? economically? define what you mean because i think you are using unfair blanket terms.

im talking about the moral code according to the bible. english law used to follow it quite closely but the laws are becoming more and more liberal as time goes on. this seriously pisses off christians who for the most part think things like homosexuality and abortion should be totally illegal whatever religion you are

im sure there are plenty of exceptions but I’m talking about the statistical majority. If you dont believe me go out and conduct a survey.

My initial comment about obama was because the only people ive ever spoken to who dont actually like obama are christians who do not like his views on abortion

no they don’t

moral code varies, people interpret in different ways

all i know is there is two gay catholic women on my course, there are about ten muslims and only one said he believed homosexuality to be wrong and was shot down by the rest of them. last week only one religious person disagreed with personal choice with regards to abortion.

yeah but that means nothing, without meaning to sound harsh – just because you’ve only happen to experience that doesn’t mean thats the way it is.

the only religious people i’ve spoken to i was watchin the tv with celebratin when he won.

the people i’ve met who disagree with him do so because they are socially right-wing or economically right-wing, or centre-right.
