How can Liberal Christians claim to be Christian, but don't follow any of the doctrine of Christian Belief?

Christianity is faith based and centered on a risen Savior. Those that have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior do not comprehend this faith, therefore cannot explain it. Since they cannot explain this faith that Christians possess, it scares them. Therefore, it is easier to condemn and shy away from Christians and Christianity then to accept those that have this faith.\n\nTrue Christians are peace loving people that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. (Key words: True Christians) These teaching are against what non Christians want to practice and how they choose to live. They fear that Christians will change the way they want to live, and so they spend their lives running from this faith based religion.\n\nPersonally, if I had never met Jesus Christ, I truly believe I would be praying to do so. I had rather leave this world believing that Jesus is the Son of God, and find out I was right... than to leave this world not believing and find out I was wrong.

They sound like a Christian to me.  I've never met one who follows the teachings of Christ. Intead they follow the politics of their "religion" usually to the compleat exclusion of the teachings of Christ.

I'm Christian. Women are viewed in a better light, and liberalism is more acceptable (we don't ALL have to believe everything in the Bible literally).

I am sorry, but those words you just said were descriptions of Jesus.  I am no Jesus.  The Bible says that a Chrstian is a follower and believer of Jesus Christ who STRIVES to be like the almighty.  The Bible makes it clear that you will fail.  No one is perfect.  I am a Christian because I try to have the best relationship with God that I can, I have and will see people delivered and set free from sin, I try to worship God as much as I can, and I strive to be part of my local church.  The one think that makes you and I human, not God, is the fact that we will never always succeed.  God knew this, so he sent us a way to not have to pay for our sins, he sent his son jesus to lift the burden off our backs and to sacrifice himself for every person on earth.  All you need to do is believe and ask for forgiveness.  That is a REAL Christian.

I'm a Christian that does not subscribe to any denomination.\n\nWhy?\n\nI follow Christ Jesus.\n\nWho does Lutherans follow? Luther?\n\nA follower of Jesus is called a Christian, and YES, that IS in the Bible.\n\nIf you want to follow Jesus, then BE a Christian.

I am a Christian, and I do not believe the things you have written in your question.  I do not put myself above others because I am still figuring everything out for myself.  You stating that all Christians do this proves that you are uninformed.  The other points you made seem to point to the fact that you may be just as narrow minded as those you accuse.  Are you only wanting someone to agree with you?

Christianity is all about interpretation. Some people (fundamentalists) believe the Bible word for word. \n(see http://godhatesshrimp.com/) Non-Christians like to make fun of fundamentalists because if you take the Bible literally then that means they can sell their daughters into slavery, etc. Fun stuff like that. However, most people don't think that the Bible is to be taken literally but interpreted. For instance, the people mentioned in the Bible weren't real but were instead characters designed to teach Christians a lesson. What is interpreted and what is taken at face value depends on the branch of Christianity and the individual churches themselves.

Yes but being a 'bleeding heart liberal' is a good thing. Neocons just have no clue about what Christianity really is.

Christians have always labeled people with different ideas and beliefs as pagan, savages, etc. etc.\n\nMany Christians have an honest desire to help people, but most just can't accept that they might be wrong. They think people who don't go along with the Christian movement deserve to burn in hell.

The problem is that everyone IS arguing about RELIGION. Ok first of all yes I am Christian in that I follow Christ, but I don't claim a sect (e.g. Baptist, Pentacostal, etc...), and I'm not going to force my beliefs on anyone. The thing most people (especially "religious" people) don't get is that it is not about being religious, it is about haveing a relationship with the loveing God who created you. Most people choose a religion, (or choose not to) based on the structure that they like, or the rules they are willing to follow, or just because it is how they were raised, but think about it really, if you do believe in a God, whatever you may call him, then it only makes sense to ask HIM how he wants you to live, not your church. Believe me, if you ask he WILL answer you.

The word "christian" means literally "disciple of christ" or "christ-like"... look at the right-wing republican fundamentalists in this country who call themselves christian, then look at what Jesus actually taught. there is very little similarity....I consider myself a christian, but because of people like pat robertson, jerry falwell, fred phelps, etc. etc. etc., I'm embarrased to call myself a christian.

First of all, it is the height of stereotyping to say liberals are godless.  Also 43% are pro-life.  I know several wonderful \nchristian liberal activists and am one myself.  My savior was a liberal as evidenced by the answer I gave in this link.  .\n\nI'm sure you will not take the time to read it but I have a good augument that shows using bible verses why Jesus was a liberal.  Please look at the best answer I gave here.\n\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aqj59QK.Kwt4kzyMOoxQVaLsy6IX?qid=20060917101212AA8ckCM\n\nAlso I am able to work with people who are atheists and gay in the political world by treating everyone with respect and kindness and as a person.\n\nIf you are a true Christian, you could too.

If the "Jesus Christ" somebody believes in is "another Jesus" from "another Gospel" (as St. Paul warned us about...)  - then they cannot rightly claim "Christian" as a title.

I agree with you but those "other" christians would say you are are not a true christian wouldn't they?
