The True Opposite of Liberalism
Many Liberals and Conservatives don't fit the mold, making the definitions seem fuzzy. There is the obvious fact that liberals want to spend more while conservatives want to spend less--in the United States. That's why it is true that many conservatives are simply people with good math and logic skills and many liberals are simply people with lousy math and logic skills. Many conservatives are simply people who are aware of what Socialism does to a country and they don't like to suffer. Still, Conservatism is not the opposite of Liberalism. Liberalism has its root in a belief that most people are basically good. Liberalism and Conservatism are not opposites, and many conservatives and liberals don't understand the roots of the label they are wearing. Liberal can mean "marked by generosity" but that is not what is meant when we are talking about liberals versus conservatives. The root belief of liberalism is the belief in human goodness. The true opposite of liberalism is a dependency on Jesus Christ for forgiveness and real righteousness. How many Christians do you know who are thirsting for deeper depths and higher heights in God, and how many are simply trying to conserve their current spiritual experience? How many are there who resemble the slothful steward who buried his talent? 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
