Liberal Christianity

A religious movement that holds beliefs which are very different from those of conservative Christians:

  • Largely disregards biblical miracles, the infallibility, inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, the Virgin birth;
  • Emphasizes human rights, the findings of science, and the higher criticism (analysis) of the Bible;
  • Ignores passages in the Bible that are immoral by today's standards; e.g. those dealing with human slavery, oppression of women, religious intolerance, torture of prisoners, genocide, burning some hookers alive.
