Liberals Like Christ
In his 2003 book "Red, White and Liberal", Alan Colmes, the Liberal radio and TV talk-show host, has a chapter devoted to the theme of our site, i.e. "Jesus was a Liberal", (a chapter, he assured me, was influenced by my web site). In that chapter he refers his readers to "Ray Dubuque's fabulous www.Liberals LikeChrist.Org web site." Alan also had me as a guest for an hour on his Oct. 23rd radio show, when that chapter was the one generating the most response from the public.

Dear Ray –
"I can't begin to tell you how wonderful your Website is!
I abandoned my Christian upbringing many years ago because I simply could not believe so much of the intolerance and hatred espoused by my church. In recent months, I've been returning to faith, but I've studiously avoided Christianity because I could not see myself just "turning my life over to Christ" and being done with it. I've also been thinking for months about how Paul's teachings seem to be in direct conflict with Christ's and how Fundamentalists should really call themselves Paulists instead of Christians.
I thought I was all alone, but to hear that others (now and through history) have noticed the same conflicts is enormously reassuring.
Thank you for giving me a new perspective on Christ."

"Hello,
I believe what you preach wholeheartedly. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share this on the internet. There have been peer reviewed studies done in the study of psychology that people tend to believe what they will with no regard for evidence. Perhaps this is why lifelong Christians, those who hear the lessons of Christ in Sunday School still refuse to hear the message in those lessons. The propagandists have the public forum. The race is not lost. But it will always be a hard fought fight. You are a new hero of mine for your work. "

"God bless you and your web site. Thank you for having the courage to do it. I'm starting to get my Christianity back! All the things I learned growing up in the United Methodist church are coming back to me. It all started when Clinton was in office, and I was becoming more politically mature. I couldn't believe what the country was making of his affair, when there was so many other things going wrong in the world. Then the conservatives brainwashed the country and made W. out to be a saint. I stood by and scratched my head, not being able to find the right words. Your web site has done that for me.
Peace.
Andy"

Hi Ray,
I really like the new layout of your web site.
I sent the page you sent out around the Christmas
season to a friend and she thanked me and loved it. She was very happy to have something to share with her Republican family and friends. Keep up your good work.

I loved the old site and I've recommended it hundreds of times. (I was one of the Clinton defenders also) and your site was an inspiration.

"Hi Ray, +
Thank you so much for putting together this web site. I think it is important that you understand there are many, many Americans who share your views. I am too disgusted with the rich religious institutions in this country to go to church or temple. To live like a true Christian is to be 'Christ-like" (ie. like Christ). Christ spent most of his time challenging the rich and helping (feeding, clothing, teaching) the poor. How many of these religious hypocrites actually do this? They help themselves. Ironically, the churches in America have become the houses of pharoah, protecting and promoting the powerful and taxing and oppressing the poor to death.
Lastly, to be rich is to be wicked and evil. Alas, that is a hard pill for affluent Americans to swallow as they plow down the highway in their SUV's on their way to their holiday homes (skipping church another weekend, alas!)
Thanks!
Frank F. :)"

"Dear Ray,
I'm with you brother. I'm a recent visitor to your web site and I have to say it is a breath of fresh air and much needed in today's American political climate. Like you, I try to understand and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ - as opposed to the nonsense and trappings we see and hear so often in today's churches.
I have added this site to my favorites and have been viewing regularly. I will also share it with others. All the best to you and yours, and Thank You for your work."

Subject: Pro choice
"Your pro choice argument is among the best I've seen so far. I had no idea that Hilter was against abortion ! Lol lol lol. I guess this fact effectively renders Ray Comforts 180 movie as pure garbage. Lol; now that's funny.
The thing is I am a follower of Christ who has recently switched from a pro-life position to a pro-choice position. This is no small feat considering I very rarely switch positions on anything. Anyway I been scanning the mobile web ever since in order to sharpen my arguments for the pro-choice position.
Yours are the best arguments I have seen. Thank you so much.
In Christ, Josh "

from Evaluation form of Liberals Like Christ site.
Content: Not only outstanding, but, unlike a lot of liberal theology, expressed in plain language.
Christian: Liberal Protestant I wish liberals in politics would read this site. Even if we didn't have to answer to
a fundamentalist wave in the U.S. presently, liberals need to know who their allies are, as you show so well that Christ is.
