[WARNING… angry rant to follow…]

I am an EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN.  I don’t deny it.  In fact, I have been an out-of-the-closet evangelical for 19 years.

I am not a FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN in any sense of the word. 

It is worth noting that almost all FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS would probably be considered EVANGELICALS, but ALL EVANGELICALS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTALISTS.

That said, you should know that I am deeply embarrassed by some of the bullshit crap that passes as teaching/theology/leadership out there these days.  In fact, I am not only embarrassed, I am angry.  I am angry because these kinds of people actually KEEP PEOPLE FROM JESUS.  Trust me, it is true.  Not only to they PREACH NONSENSE, but they MUDDY THE GOSPEL with their nonsense.

Most of the time I let this stuff just go.  I don’t make a big deal out of it and don’t publicly criticize it.  But sometimes I am pushed over the edge.  The rejection of these people and the false gospel they preach is not the result of an anti-Christian bias among the mainstream media as much as the fact that these people SOUND INSANE.

Let’s be clear… claiming that OPRAH WINFREY IS THE ANTI-CHRIST and TALKING ABOUT SEX WITH DEMONS… this is as crazy as claiming that the end of the world was to come this past May.

I don’t doubt these people love Jesus and are saved and will be at the heavenly banquet… I just wish they would shut up in the mean time.

    Anyone who will listen to the hateful bile of John Hagee is either subject to magical thinking, similarly bigoted, or spiritually, mentally, and socially retarded and doomed to socialize only among people of similar ‘beliefs’. Is there a context for Oprah Winfrey being the Anti-Christ and the rest of the silliness of those that Rick Perry is choosing to wrap himself in the cloak of faux-Christianity? Simply: worshipping a sociopathic God wanted the Germans to kill 12 million, Stalin to kill 20 million, the US Army to commit genocide in the name of Manifest Destiny, the butchery of Darfur to continue makes a person on a good day a fool and on most days unable to think past the tripe handed them by a "spiritual" leader. There are very good reasons to marginalize the words, beliefs and actions of such Evangelicals because they make as much sense and offer as much to our culture as Scientologists do.
