Evangelicals Are Wrong

Evangelical Christianity is increasingly separated from the surrounding culture so says Christian former evangelical.

My problem is with attitude. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "Now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."

That message is totally lost. God loves us first, because He made an incredible sacrifice, far more incredible that anything I have given up, to have a relationship with us. That glory, that painful beauty, is lost in the debates modern Christianity has obsessed itself with.

el - I don't follow the sacrificial lamb teachings but agree with the rest.

The Conjecturer also fisks Focus on the Family's Position on Gay marriage and how wrong it is.

For a Christian organization to post such bile in the name of a Christian desire to save children is not just wrong, it borders on the evil. There is such moral equivocation, such abject hatred and distrust involved, that my mind if reeling from it. This is exactly why I'm so dissatisfied with evangelical Christianity?there is no sense of engagement with the world, only a desire to cudgel it back into a rosy, nostalgic mirror image of what it once may have been.

That is frighteningly close to the mindset of an Islamofacist. I hope James Dobson realized this, and comes to the conclusion that his purpose as a Christian minister should be spreading the Gospel of Christ, not attacking the gays for daring to try for a normal life.
