Do Liberal Christians still believe in an historical Jesus?
Advertisements [?]
I have noticed in the last week many posts by those who call themselves liberal Christians, an almost literalist view of Christianity and an obsession with doctrine and dogma. Is the term "Liberal Christian" just a label adopted by the cafeteria crowd? In this day and age of access to information and education and access to books, are there still progressives who believe in a historical basis rather than mythical basis of the philosophy/religion known as Christianity?

I would love to hear from Christians on DU that still hold this view. In particular, why they believe the philosophy is based on fact. For now I will assume they never had the opportunity or found the need to research the religion passed to them from their families. One can not be tolerant of others unless they understand the roots of the other's beliefs and of their own. It appears spirituality and religion are used interchangeably on here and it is causing undue misunderstandings.
