Legalism = works based salvation = road to Hell.
Liberalism = license to sin = road to Hell.
The narrow path that leads to salvation is like an old road full of holes, but when we are born again, Jesus is driving. We may hit a few holes but nothing can knock us off the road once he is at the wheel.

Liberalism, yeah, whatever.
Exactly how does "works based salvation" result in you going to Hell? What, do you advocate sitting around in your church, helping only those close to you? Is that how you define a "good Christian?"
Gah.
"Legalism = works based salvation = road to Hell."
Your Bible can't get straight which is the path to salvation. Depending on which passages one reads, it says only faith, or only works, or only grace, or only works & faith, or only predestination or only God's random choice is the way to salvation. I think most theologians simply picked faith as the path to salvation because it suited their practical purposes rather than because it is any more biblically valid than the other stated paths.
"Liberalism = license to sin = road to Hell."
No. Since "sin" is an affront to a god and all gods are fictional, sin does not exist. Similarly, since hell is imaginary, there is no road to hell.
"The narrow path that leads to salvation is like an old road full of holes, but when we are born again, Jesus is driving. We may hit a few holes but nothing can knock us off the road once he is at the wheel."
Be careful. Being driven around by your imaginary friend sounds like a very dangerous choice.
"Jesus Built My Hotrod"
Papabear: It makes it convenient for these jerks to damn you either way. If you do one, they quote the other. Their just happy that someone is failing and will go to hell.
"We may hit a few holes but nothing can knock us off the road once he is at the wheel."
And that road leads down the path of smug self-righteousness and contempt for everyone not like you. No thanks.

Soudns like god needs to do some renovation, and maybe rebuild that small road to a 10 lane highway.
what is with the hillbilly metaphors for Jesus controlling your life?
"Jesus won't cut you off before you're through
With him you won't never get a crossed line,
And when your bill comes it'll all be properly itemised
He's the telephone repairman on the switchboard of my life.
The phone line to the saviour's always free of interference
He's in at any hour, day or night
And when you call J-E-S-U-S you always call toll-free
He's the telephone repairman on the switchboard of my life." (Courtesey www.lspace.org )

An ancient Chinese principle which is pretty much totalitarian tells you that you should be a good person and this is a bad thing?
Liberalism = license to sin = road to Hell.
You are hereby banned from using the word "liberalism" until you can define what it means. Yes, you're not allowed to say it. No, you can't complain I'm restricting your freedom of speech; freedom of speech (and freedom in general) is a liberal value, which you think is sin.
Don't worry. You can say "liberal." Liberals believe you have a right to speak your mind no matter who likes it and who doesn't. You're allowed to insult liberals because of liberals. You're allowed to be Christian without fear of punishment because of liberals. The food you eat is safe because of liberals. You are able to afford a computer because of liberals and the computer was invented by people who rejected the conservative values of religion at least to some extent.

Ha! I knew it! Even God can't fix a road!
...but when we are born again, Jesus is driving. We may hit a few holes but nothing can knock us off the road once he is at the wheel.
water: Can I help you, Officer?
Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
water: I'm afraid I don't. I wasn't speeding.
Cop: You are sitting in the passenger seat. There is no one driving.
water: That's not true! I'm born again! Jesus is driving!
Cop: The driver's seat is clearly empty, and you just collided with a telephone pole.
water: We may hit a few holes, but nothing can knock us off the road once he is at the wheel.
Cop: You are thirty feet away from the road. You have smashed into a pole.
water: No, that's not true! Jesus is driving, and I have faith that Jesus will drive me safely down the road!
Cop: The driver's seat is and was empty. You are no longer on the road. You have crashed.
water: You must have a lot of anger in your heart if you hate Jesus so much!
Cop: Step out of the car, please. I'll need you to come with me.
water: I'm being persecuted for my beliefs!
