82. Yes they do believe that because they have been indoctrinated into
thinking that they have to save others in order to maintain their own salvation.

AS long as the leaders can peddle the fear of HELL we have a problem.
IN order to fix this we need to get rid of the concept of eternal Hell. In order to do that we have to get them to let go of Bibilical literalism. In order to do that we have to get these black and white thinkers who take comfort in absolutes to give up their faith and transform it into something compeletely different.

This is not an easy thing!! I married into a family of conservative evangelicals. The fear they have of stepping a toe out of line is unbelievable!

But we have the same battle for faith that we do for political liberalism. We need our own airwaves. Just as the RW bloviators own the poltical airspace, so do the RW people of "faith". We need an alternative to the 700 club and TBS and Angel. There is no Air America for liberal believers. The closest I can find is Day 1 which is still not liberal enough for the lieks of me.. though it is better than the 700 club.

I have tried to get people to write in to DISH and DirecTV to demand equal programming. But we need backers. We need funding. We need programming to offer.

This is NOT going to be easy.. and we need help.
