A principle

Here is a principle I have witnessed about Christians and their theology in today's context, though it doesn't peg all individuals.

Conservative theology is trying to save the world from the godlessness of liberal thought. Liberal theology is trying to save the world from the ignorance of conservative thought. Ironically though, many conservatives become godless with their vilification and hatred of others and many liberals become ignorant from their arrogance that blinds them.

Of course, conservatives can become arrogant and ignorant and liberals godless. But when I see something offensive from a conservative or liberal theological person, this principle I have found identifies the nature of their offense.

Oh, and you can call me liberally conservative...
