It is sometimes asked if it is liberal in character. The question is tendentious and a source of much confusion. It assumes that a liberal society is necessarily good and, conversely, that every good society must be liberal.

There is also the further difficulty of defining the liberal society.

This is an untenable position. Scriptures may be infallible, but they have to be interpreted, and that calls for reason. Others interpret them differently and need to be persuaded and argued with, and that too calls for rational discussion. In a multicultural society one has to live with other faiths or none, and the fundamentalist needs to give good reasons why he should be allowed to live in a certain manner and even bear such moral and other costs that this entails. In short, the fundamentalist cannot avoid appealing to reason and accepting the discipline of the dialogue.
