> derived from christian values
This is not quite correct. Christian values would be a strict theocracy with no freedom of the press.
Liberal values descend from a robust view of agency, eg humanism which is more or less incompatible with strict interpretations of Christianity. Compatible with deism though.
- diveanon 7y agoYou are confusing catholicism with the teachings of christ. Two very different messages. Love your neighbor and judge others as you would judge yourself.
- vorpalhex 7y agoNo, I'm quoting directly from several hundred if not thousands of years of Jewish teachings which make up over half the bible. Christ mentioned very little on political structures, he certainly didn't vouch for democracy.
