The Talibaptists*

No offense taken, but I have to say this:

Pat Robertson and others of his ilk certainly do not speak for the majority of Evangelicals and definitely not for me. What a shameful example of God's Love he is showing to the world!

He/they bring so much dis-repute to Christianity, it is a wonder there are any right-thinking Christians left who are willing to follow him/them.

It is a wonder, indeed. I think Christians sometimes have a problem with arrogance that grows out of the belief that Christianity is the only true religion. It's a tragic warping of what Jesus stood for in my humble opinion. Politicians talk about taking the country back for god, yet want to disregard the wisdom of our forefathers who favored the separation of church and state. It's all about control and a lust for power, and I'm dumbfounded that thinking Christians don't stand up and call a stop to the religious/political freak-show going on in our country.

I keep thinking of how this idiocy sounds to my teen...

I am in full agreement with you. I decided a decade ago that if there is an anti-Christ type of people or activity, it is those horrible hatemongers. They are set up within Christianity to make it seem safe, for whatever reasons they have. I don't know why anyone considers them the in any way the same as Jesus' message. I'm glad you posted this! That link is a nightmare... unfortunately, a true one.

I am an evangelical christian in an asian muslim country. I am appalled at the behavior and utterance of some american "evangelicals" like Mr. Robertson. Where is the love and grace? All I see is the resemblance between them and the pharisees and hypocrites whom Jesus was so frustrated with. What an embarassment to evangelicals worldwide.
