Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[harrypothead]

Mlsoft, I have been reading your thoughts for quite a while now, and I am certain that you, like most evangelical Christians, are a very decent person, committed to your family, faith, and life. But it is theocrats like Robertson and other vocal individuals that give evangelcals a bad rap. These theocrats seem to claim to speak for all/most evangelicals, but their adenda seems more political than religious. For example, I don't believe evangelicals are out to conquer the world with dominionism, nor do I believe the majority feel contempt for gays even if they don't approve of the lifestyle. But I am wondering why we don't hear more evangelicals (by far the largest demographic group in this country) speaking out against those who claim leadership of the group to a political end, eg. Robertson, Reed, Falwell, Jones, and we can agree to disagree on Dobson. What gives? Your thoughts? These people give evangelical Christians a bad rep, and their rhetoric tends to be very divisive. Clearly, not good for evangelicals or the country.
