If being able to take diverse perspectives means being of many minds, then you nailed me. One reason I've made a practice (in the past) of posting under different nicks is that it gives me a way of expressing a particular point of view without personally attaching that perspective to myself. Well articulated ideas should speak for themselves and stand on their own merit.
Buddhists like to say, "Don't be too attached to your own opinions," and I take that to heart. I am not my ideas and opinions, and I am not the labels that people put on my ideas.
I have chosen to give voice to a type of Christianity than many people here don't seem to associate with the label. When I first came out of the closet and identified as a Christian, Susie got all over me about needing a crutch. I'm a cripple--quite literally, I walk with a limp--and this is a significant dimension of my spiritual journey that I haved learned to accept. I can also accept the possibility that religious faith is an opiate and that many good people live happy, meaningful lives without it. That's simply not the choice I have made for myself.
I subscribe to a contextual interpretation of scripture and not the literal approach taken by 95% of the self-identified Christians who post on this board. I am a humanist and existentialist, and I do not see these philosophical frames as being incompatible with putting hope in a power greater than myself or with following the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I belong to a fellowship where atheists and fundamentalists are both welcome to sit in silence and listen to what's going on in their heads and hearts. We're called unstructured Quakers. My Buddhist friend calls our spiritual space "beyond concept." We don't preach. We're more committed to finding common ground in our shared humanity than with getting worked up over differences about stuff people make up in their heads. That doesn't mean we don't take a stand on deeply held convictions. Injustice is only relative if you're on the side of priviledge.
I'm also part of a political movement in the U.S. called Red Letter Christians. Simply put, we don't believe Jesus is a Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, and we're deeply concerned about social issues. I post from different perspectives on the political continuum because I want to transcend the partisan thinking that has so deeply divides and distracts us.
