Wow - Maybe that was the start of my slippery slide.

Would I happen to know these conservative people VERY well? And I'm sure that I was there.....

Great post!

The only time a conservative incites a negative response in me is when they are being bull-headed in understanding what someone is saying. Instead of listening they are already "hearing" what they "think" you are saying.

Of course, that could apply to anyone.

I have observed some Liberals are very uncomfortable with Christians (or even non-Christians for that matter) who are more conservaitve than they are themselves.

As a Liberal:

1. Do you feel anger or a rightous indignation when around those with a more conservative lifestyle?

2. Do you feel extremely distracted or irritated when a women in a jean skirt and frizzy hair perm, or a man in a white shirt and tie worships God with you at church?

3. Do you feel it is your duty to tell other other Christians they are wrong and you are right in lifestyle?

4. Are you content to flaunt your liberties in Christ as what is right or do you feel compelled to inform them they are in bondage to legalism and the Law of Moses?

Disclaimer: I dress modestly although I wear jewelry and makeup but never with the attitude of superiority because of my choices.

Blessings, Rhoni

I hate those condesending legalistic self righteous snobs!

I feel like it is my responsibility to defend weaker people against preachers because I am not afraid of them...

Now Brother, as a fellow liberal, let's pray for those condescending, legalistic, self-righteous snobs! How about it my brother, we can be liberal and still love those folks, can't we?!
