Miss marmelstein, I urge you to reconsider this judgment.
There are millions of terrifically good Evangelicals out there, including a bunch here in my very own tribe of in-laws and second bunch who are my allies in pro-life work and a third bunch who have faithfully stood with us Catholics right here in Upper East Tennessee in defending Religious Liberty.
We know each other, we pray for each other and we love each other.
The existence and activities of a few... hmmm... difficult types here at FR has jack-nothing to do with the majority of Evangelicals anywhere. They're not even the majority here.
Unfortunately, the FR Religion Forum is a very bad neighborhood, and if you form your opinions on the basis of what you see here, you will develop very whacked-out perceptions.
This is not good for you spiritually.
Seek out the good 'uns and form friendly relationships with them.
As for the rest --- well, the tagline is what a wise and holy priest once advised:
Mrs. Don-o: I truly appreciate your kind post. Sadly, after my experience with FR, I sought out other forums to see a different point of view. In almost every case, the same bigotry exhibited itself. Hatred, hatred, hatred. I did have to laugh at one who wrote that Catholics were forbidden to bring bibles into the church, lol!
Bless you, Mrs., and I’ll try to keep my mind open.
