Opinion of "Liberal Triumphalism"

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

It's not an official phrase, but it's a type of theology many obviously adhere to and that I've heard many sermons promoting. Imagine someone passionately preaching something like this:

So basically it's the evangelical triumphalist view that one day Jesus will return and rule the world again and all other religions and belief systems will be abolished, but unlike the fundamentalist version it's more that the whole world will become some sort of liberal paradise, with "all liberal, all the time" not being just a slogan but basically how things will always be. Of course this no doubt means fundamentalism gets abolished too, but that's not really the focus. But when you think about it...this is indeed the logical conclusion of liberal evangelicalism. So of course I vote FT.

How can you say fundamentalism get's abolished too, when this theology wishes for all other belief systems and all other religions to be, as you put it 'abolished.'

That's the very definition of religious fundamentalism, whether it's a conservative hellhole or liberal hot air.

Well never heard of "fundamentalist" ever used to describe liberal Christianity. But it's obvious what I mean. Repressive conservative Christianity gets abolished. Fits in with the frequent preaching about how people who promote that distort and pervert the message of Christ and that liberal Christianity is the real truth to follow.

That's a horrific thing to say. 

Which part?

"Fundamentalist" in the US basically means "conservative evangelical", so replace "fundamentalism" with "conservative Christianity" in that post to get the point.

As for abolishing the other belief systems, that is the only logical conclusion. Think about it, if Jesus did return tomorrow, and thus proved empirically Christianity to be the true belief system, how could the other religions and belief systems survive? Now you may not believe Christianity to be true and thus believe that will ever happen. Fine. But it's not about totalitarianism as prove of objective truth in this instance.

So BRTD is endorsing genocide?

Of course not. Jesus isn't going to kill anyone.
