7. Liberalism and Christianity go well together
Where I live in Chicago there are a few churches that teach the true message of Jesus, but in the surrounding suburbs and small towns, I haven't seen very many. It would be great if there was a national, organized church that could bring liberal christians together all across the country.

I stopped going to church when I became old enough to realize that some of the things the church was saying were perverted. I haven't attended church regularly since, largely because I've been turned off by all the vocal fundies. It's a shame though, that the fundies who have the power now and the media attention are really perverting Christ's message. It's going to give all christians a bad name.

I think that one of the reasons I became liberal is because I took the message of Jesus to heart. I think liberalism and christanity should go hand in hand. There really should be a vocal liberal church to counter the trash that the fundie churches are spewing.
