The Christian religious left grounds its political vision in their understanding of Scripture. Read a couple of issues of "The Lutheran" magazine and you'll get the idea.

That's why I think it's important not to conflate religious liberalism and political liberalism.

I don't think you could find a better example of the conflation of the two than the "disinvest in Israel" movement in the left wing churchs.

"In that church you didn't even have to believe that Christ rose from the dead, or so I gathered from the sermon. You can't get much less dogmatic than that."

Interesting observation.

I'm no expert either, but accepting ANY idea that comes along seems to me to be just another form of dogmatism. Its affect is like endlessly adding water to a good soup. Eventually you have nothing but tainted water - certainly no taste or nourishment.

Just my opinion.
