Liberal Theology

Liberal Theology maintains that the man created God. Such a position is exactly opposed to Classical or Orthodox Theology that, based on testimony in Scripture, holds view that God created man. In consequence the scriptural texts in Liberal theology become only a sort of legends and/or philosophical treatises considered as containing moral values worth of teaching, but do not make a man accountable to Living God who created the World. As the God of Liberal Theology is just product of human mind, followers of Liberal Theology search for non-Biblical explanations of origin of world and life where God plays no role whatsoever and they regard the Biblical passages on origins for being only metaphorical.

According to Wilhelm Busch, a Lutheran priest persecuted by Nazis, such God as conceived by Liberal Theology, existing only in people's imagination as a construct of our time, who could be called and dismissed at one's discretion, would be completely ridiculous.
