I'm a Christian Liberal. I believe in helping those less fortunate through a combination of government and private means. I believe that what people do in the privacy of their own homes is between them and God, provided it doesn't hurt anyone, and should not be mandated by the State. I believe that two men in a loving, long-term relationship should have the right to call that relationship a marriage, and that such a relationship is more moral than many marriages where the partners have agreed to fidelity but don't practise it. I could never in a million years have an abortion myself for any reason, but I'm not going to force anyone else to make the same choice because I also know what pregnancy can do to a woman's body and spirit. I believe it's immoral for a nation to leave more than a quarter of their population without medical care when such care is available. I believe we're responsible for ourselves, but also to and for each other. We are our brother's keepers, just as he is ours.
That's my liberalism. And yes, it would be boring if we all thought the same. :)
