LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE? Which are you?

Since they got rid of purgatory -–a man-made concept— Catholics have been stuck with just heaven and hell; no middle ground.

It’s supposed that among the omnipotent things He can do, God can arrange all human souls on a continuum from most damned (say, Hitler or Gengis Kahn) to most beatified (say, Paul of Tarsus or Raoul Wallenberg).

Since reality is dynamic and people die every minute, the list rearranges itself constantly as freshly-dead souls are added. But one thing never moves: the tiny gap at the precise point between saved and damned. No one is ever shifted from one side of this line of demarcation to the other, and the line is not necessarily at the continuum’s midpoint.

So, some continuums can be subdivided by a dotted line: male or female, you’re one or the other at birth or lacking surgery. You can call yourself the person in the middle; but Reality knows there is no middle.

Which side, for example, is Joe Lieberman really on? I don’t know; Joe Lieberman may not know; but God knows.

So, on a scale of two, which better describes you and/or the majority on this forum: liberal or conservative? I bet there are plenty of folks on both sides.
