I talked about how I keep coming back to a foundational belief that God Is Love, and how I'm very aware that I'm creating God in my preferred image, but that this challenges me to be a better person so I take that as a suggestion that I'm on the right track.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
and how that's my current big problem in liberal Christian circles recently.
I lost you here, possibly because I don't quite remember the specific instances you cite. Are there a lot of liberal Christians who are anti-universalist? Or is it the pro-universalist stance of liberal Christianity you find problematic? (I don't believe in a literal Heaven, of course, but if I did I'd be universalist, while understanding the need for some theologians to keep open the logical possibility--but not the actual reality--of the total renouncing of God.)
