    I suggest that you open up a dictionary -- even though that often does
    not work on the ASA list. Look up the definitions of "conservative" and
    "liberal". Apply those definitions to theology and -- lo and behold-- you
    have the definitions of "conservative theology" and "liberal theology".
    WOW!!

    The amazing thing is that it works for almost subject (Theology, Politics,
    School System, Ethics, etc.)

    Both substitute a canned philosophy for thinking and are therefore
    "brainless".

    I prefer the "libertarian" outlook. Nobody gets to tell me what to think
    ;-)
