Something else I believe as a liberal Episcopalian, put a little more aggressively: My God is the God of the poor. You can be for the poor or you can go to hell. pastordan is awesome, and I grew up in a Protestant mainline church distantly related to the UCC so I know where he’s coming from. H/T to ***Dave FTW. via Note to Religious Liberals: God Does Take Sides | Religion Dispatches.
