I don't think anyone said this.

People can debate these topics all day. It's just interesting to me because people will say "I'm a Christian" as if all Christians have to agree on stuff. And if people disagree with your interpretations of Scripture and what's acceptable, you assume they are liberals who are just trying to shape the Bible to fit their liberal stances. When, in fact, you don't have to be liberal (or of a particular political affiliation) to feel a particular way about this topic.

Ok.

And "intellectuals" and academicians aren't a monolithic group, either. So these types of social and political debates happen in academia everyday.

You mean your breed of Christianity dictates your views on everything.

I tend to make generalizations and ignore the exceptions, while you seem to find exceptions to the rule, still important somehow.

Christianity dictates your views on everything? That's noble.

Most people who I disagree with on interpretations are liberals, moderates, and conservatives. It spans across social and political spectrums. When you attempt to categorize people, that's when you are often debating the categories rather than the positions. That's dangerous because your opinions of the categories shape how you approach that person and their viewpoints.

My mind operates based on generalizations. What you consider to be an exception is simply a matter of your frame of reference. Mine is different.

It's fun. Discussions and debates aren't the end of the world as long as people on both sides have sound logic and can back up their points.

Put [ quote ] (without spaces) in front of the sentence and [ /quote ] (without spaces) behind the sentence.
