I meant to respond to the ignorance of Russell, his raving opinions based on ignorance. I applaud Rick for calling Russell on his lack of knowledge, but I question his own OPINION-based conclusions, presented as FACT.
Russell, hypocrisy screams from your post. YOU criticise evangelicals, while evangalising your own opinions. While I don't support southern evangelicals, purely because of their ignorant teachings, Christians are INSTRUCTED to evangelise, to spread the Word, so a blanket criticism of "evangelicals", while evangelising your opinion, is simply hypocritical.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism Being an "evangelical" is not about evangelism of opinions. There are people who identify as "evangelical" who don't evangelise and there are people who evangelise other religions. I don't criticise evangelical Christians for evangelising their religion, they generally aren't as annoying about it as Mormons. I criticise them for what you describe as "ignorant teachings". Go ahead and evangelise the teachings of Jesus regarding healing the sick, feeding the hungry, etc. I'll applaud you for it. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
