Political ideology and theology
I'd like to see if there's a correlation between the two.
For the sake of clarity I'll give [i]my[/i] definition of Liberal and Conservative. And plz go by the definitions I provide, again, for the sake of clarity.
Liberal: Anyone who wants more govt and more taxes. Believes in socialism, communism, marxism, or central planning. Does not believe in unalienable rights or the Constitution.
(You do not have to meet all the qualifications)
Conservative: Anyone who wants less govt. Believes in liberty, self governence, free market, less taxes. Believes in the Constitution and BoR. does not believe in a nanny state. Also Libertarians and anarchists fit this bill.
(You do not have to meet all the qualifications)
In short:
Liberal: More govt involvement
Conservetive: Less govt involvement
Edit: Plz go by the "in short" defs, as many ppl are getting their jimmies rustled due to disagreement of terminology.
[spoiler]If you are agnostic or unsure if you're a theist or atheist, plz try to pick the one you lean closer too, refrain from the "other" option as much as possible.[/spoiler]

4 RepliesEven using the terms "liberal" and "conservative" in American context is kind of stupid. Stack that on to a seemingly blatant attempt at trolling and all in all this is a pretty poor thread. But because I'm in a good mood, I'll not only take a pointless snip at the thread, I'll also post a pointless answer. For a long time I identified as a totalitarian populist but given more recent delves into political science and related topics, I think it would be more accurate to just say I'm a totalitarian Marxist - the difference being that Marx was not necessarily standing in opposition to the elites as much as he was standing [i]for[/i] the proletariat (which some might argue is effectively equivalent but I digress). As far as my theological views, those aren't something I talk about with very many people.
