I. Hate. Evangelicals.

[Taverner]

Honestly, I do.

I can't stand their hypocrisy. I can't stand their coded talk. I can't stand their opposition to reality. I can't stand their narrow and myopic view of life. I can't stand their faith in a cultural myth that is applicable to nomaid herdsmen, and no application for our lives whatsoever.

I can't stand the fact they are urinating on our country. I can't stand the fact that they are trying to poison our children's minds.

And if you feel slighted by this - trust me. If you're here, you aren't an evangelical.

[EstimatedProphet]

1. Yeah, OK

I see no argument here.

[warrens]

2. I think you mean fundamentalist

Although there is a LOT of overlap.

[Taverner]

3. Nope. I hate fundamentalists too.

But evangelical, by definition, means they seek to evangelize (aka proselytize) their way of life to the rest of the world. That I take opposition to.

9. But don't confuse that definition of evangelical with the one in the name

of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). This "Evangelical" refers to the Germanic roots of the synod as well as the Gospel-based (as in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) liturgy.

[Taverner]

11. Yeah that was always funny

Evangelical Lutherans are the good ones

Missouri Synods are the bad ones

Kind of like how Free Methodists are the bad ones

and United and African are the good ones...

[Left Is Write]

12. I wouldn't refer to LCMS as *bad*...

I just don't want to be a member of a LCMS church.

4. But Taverner, we only care about your eternal soul!

Do you have any idea what hell's like? Here, let me tell you... perhaps I can scare you into joining us and tithing 10%, because, you know... it really does make a difference. I've been a Christian all my life, but I really started to see God's love manifesting in my life after I started tithing a full 10% of my salary!

5. stand by to get your shit jumped ...apparently you can be

evangelical AND liberal, too, or so I was told on here by more than one evangelical DUer. you will either get a response to this thread or a new "persecuted christian" thread will be started because of this thread. :shrug:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. Persecuted christians...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah, because majorities are ALWAYS persecuted... :eyes::sarcasm:

[jonnyblitz]

7. no shit, eh?

:crazy:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. They scare the fuck out of me.

Ever stop and watch one of their TV shows?

I do from time to time.

I saw them one time essentially telling people that if they send in $63.39 (from the number of the psalm that was being read), that god would make them rich. And I'm BARELY paraphrasing that.

These people are sick. There is no two ways about it.

[redqueen]

10. Been doing that for decades.

Gotta love Robert Tilton!
