Things I believe by Teresa Nielson Hayden, a meditation on the Nicene Creed for Easter 2004. To give you an idea of the flavour: "I believe in the God of the Burgess Shale, Who not only made creation stranger than we know, but stranger than we could ever imagine." Read the comments thread as well. I particularly commend to you comment #27.
The Slacktivist blog by Fred Clark discusses religion from a liberal Christian perspective. It's particularly notable for the ongoing dissection of the theology in the Left Behind books, by someone with heavyweight theology training.
The Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic has a joking title, but a serious mission. While the discussion on the site is from an explicitly agnostic viewpoint and occasionally forgets that not all Christians are fundamentalists, they have much material on over-literal or selective use of the Bible that will be of interest to liberal Christians.
