Liberal sins

I enjoyed reading Dwight's posts today and Tuesday on what some label the 'sins' of liberal Christianity.

I always thought that defending unpopular but just causes was a virtue, not a sin. I do know that it is a sin to bear false witness. Religious right pundits like Charlotte Allen (and Katherine Kersten for that matter) are too well informed and educated to not know that they're bending and twisting the truth to suit their own particular ideological agendas.

God help me if I ever need to resort like them to outright lies and distortions in order to make my point.
