Quick Question

Why do people define their faith as liberal or conservative? Aren't these political terms. I know they can describe your religious practices in this society. But, I just don't really understand why we do that. It is another way to divide the Christian body. My friend said her faith was of the more liberal slant. I wanted to ask her why she used a political term to describe her faith. Any thoughts?

I agree. It doesn't make sense and it's very divisive. I suppose it's just another way that we try to box God and our faith in--it makes us more comfortable when we can define things.
