1. You won't do it. Liberals care too much about other people.
It's part of that whole "mental illness" we have, according to Savage.

4. Yea, in fact if they really did handle snakes.....

They don't like stress.

Perhaps start a "Conservative Hell House," depicting the horrors a McCain presidency would inflict upon us.

9. How would people be able to tell the difference
the difference between a potential McCain presidency, and the miseries of the current Misadministration happening everywhere today?

5. There used to be one
near our neighborhood (about a mile away).

It went under and then the sex shop next door went under. Coincidence??? Perhaps...

8. It depends on what is meant by evangelical
what you are describing is either a splinter group off a main denomination or a splinter group off off Assembly of God. Definitely not describing evangelical.

Defining Evangelicalism
The term "Evangelicalism" is a wide-reaching definitional "canopy" that covers a diverse number of Protestant groups. The term originates in the Greek word evangelion, meaning "the good news," or, more commonly, the "gospel." During the Reformation, Martin Luther adapted the Greek term, dubbing his breakaway movement the evangelische kirke, or "evangelical church"-a name still generally applied to the Lutheran Church in Germany.In the English-speaking world, however, the modern usage usually connotes the religious movements and denominations which sprung forth from a series of revivals that swept the North Atlantic Anglo-American world in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Key figures associated with these revivals included the itinerant English evangelist George Whitefield (1715-1770); the founder of Methodism John Wesley (1703-1791) ; and, the American philosopher and theologian, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). These revivals were particularly responsible for the rise of the Baptists and Methodists from obscure sects to their traditional position as America's two largest Protestant denominational families.

10. I am a gay man and I am fed up with these evangelical fundies...
...I am going to their church in my drag outfit, and spread some love and joy in that miserable congregation this Sunday.
