I consider myself an evangelical Christian, but I am also a classical liberal who believes God granted us liberty.
That said, I must admit that the Moral Majority did have many campaigns of this nature during the 80s: video games, rock—especially heavy metal, Dungeons and Dragons, various tv shows and books—Harry Potter anyone? It happened and it was roundly condemned and ridiculed. The whole concept of social conservatism had it roots in this movement.
Y’all can say you’ve never seen it, but there have always been zealots. It’s just no one paid attention to zealots until recently. They were viewed as very strange, obsessed people, probably because they were very strange, obsessed people. We laughed at them and rightly considered them crazy—we didn’t try to accommodate them through law!
These were never evangelical Christians; anymore than the “God hates fags” folks—they were just weirdos. Christians don’t coerce obedience; they try to live it.
Parents should make sure their kids don’t have inappropriate materials—not the government. I don’t want the government having any say in how I raise my kids or telling them what’s right and wrong.
It happens on FR all the time, too. Go on a religion thread and challenge any doctrine. Either your post is deleted or you are treated like some devil.
Well as a simple Christian rather then an Evangelical, my experience has been this.
Zealot Evangelicals are the exception, not the rule. SJW and Zealotry is synonymous. There are no non zealot SJWS.
