Do you consider yourself more liberal or more conservative when it comes to politics?
Would you be more likely to feel upset by a non-christian who insulted the bible.
or
A christian who was using the bible to promote ideas you felt were wrong.

Right now with the "truth" we are being feed from both parties, I for one can't support either one. Politically I am a constitutionalists. I am not seeing that in either party. As a Christian I have nothing to say (other than teach) to a non believer. They are not under the law of grace. If a brother is teaching error I am moved to correction not to judgment. If they persist in the error I treat them as a nonbeliever... Jim

If you mean by "liberal" pretty much everything is relative or subjective, and by "conservative" there is such a thing as objectivity, I am the latter, both in politics & religion. However, I am *not* a fundamentalist.
I am no longer surprised by non-Christians who insult the Bible. It's to be expected--we're all born God-haters. I definitely am more upset by those who call themselves Christian, yet promote ideas that are contrary to Scripture (not necessarily ideas *I feel* are wrong).

I consider myself to be more pragmatic than liberal or conservative. My question is will it work?
I would be much more upset about someone using the bible, christian or not, using the bible to promote ideas I felt were wrong.

Conservative
more likely to feel upset by a Christian who used the Bible incorrectly (to promote non-Biblical concepts)

I definitely fall on the liberal end of the spectrum. Believe it or not, I can view faith and politics as two seperate things, and I can form opinions of what is appropriate for society without ever referring to faith to do it.
I'm not "insulted" by either, but I'm more frustrated when I see Christians who use The Bible to promote hate and intolerance.

I consider myself more conservative rather than liberal, no I wouldn't feel upset by anyone who insulted the bible (I wouldn't like it but I wouldn't say anything or do anything about it) because everyone is entitled to their opinion

Conservative in moral issues and liberal in economic
Depends on how( salaciously,mockingly.etc or out of lack of knowledge ) or why( mere ignorance or malice)
Promoting ideas i find wrong does not bother me,but abusing the Bible to promote hatred or evil does bother me

Definatly the latter. And I consider myself a conservative, but I know several liberal Christians.

I'm a Born Again Christian and I live my life in Accordance to God's Word and I live my life in simplicity and No Agenda.
Politics "should not" be a part of a Christian.

I am a fundi.
I am more middle of the road with regard to politics (but not my personal life).
I get more upset over my brothers and sisters in Christ who mis-represent the Bible then nonbelievers.
