Liberal Christians are saying that conservatives don't have the monopoly on moral values.

Battling the notion that "values voters" swept President Bush to victory because of opposition to gay marriage and abortion, three liberal groups released a post-election poll in which 33 percent of voters said the nation's most urgent moral problem was "greed and materialism" and 31 percent said it was "poverty and economic justice." Sixteen percent cited abortion, and 12 percent named same-sex marriage.

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, but materialism is nothing more than a vice. Neither of them seem like a huge moral problem, much less the nation's most urgent. And since when is poverty immoral? Are they against poor people as well as the rich? Does a nun's vow of poverty make her immoral?
