» Brother_Jones - Liberals

Smith refers to the phrase or phase of liberal Christianity as those who reject the authority of scripture and the authority of the Church. I suppose the last group bothers him the most because he already assumes that most normal, modern Christians like himself reject the scriptures, but have some repect for some sort of church authority. Obviously, those who have stopped going to Church fall into a category that probably shouldn't fit into the category as liberal. Maybe a term like Independent of any beliefs should be noted of those who continue to call themselves Christians until such folks gravitate toward some sort of group that determines whether any effect of Christ is still in existence.
