Conservative Christians praise Jesus and follow the example of God. Liberal Christians praise God and follow the example of Jesus. One judges, the other forgives. One smites, the other saves. One says "praise me", the other literally says not to worship him but to follow his example.

"Conservative Christians praise Jesus and follow the example of God. Liberal Christians praise God and follow the example of Jesus." This is a very interesting insight, does it come from your own observation or from e.g. the bible?

And I am assuming USA, is that correct?

It was a quote from someone I heard on the internet a long time ago. Can't remember from whom, so I guess it is my quote now. USA definition of liberal and conservative.
