I see one unsourced quote here using God and "My Lord" stated once in a sentence discussing evolution. Maybe, this isn't so bad though. If they are going to fight us with scripture then won't they have to start reading their Bible?

All I can say is...

BRING IT ON!

These idiots don't have theological ground to stand on, outside of the leftist denominational churches.

We don’t evangelize; we consider it disrespectful to shove our spiritual views down other people’s throats.

This woman rejects Jesus' command in Matthew 28:18-20, which is called the Great Commission.

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[1] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

She makes other points in this piece which she claims are "Christian". The only problem is that she is not basing her beliefs on the Bible. The other thing she does is drop the "H" word. "Hate" has replaced "Racist" in the culture war.

Riiiigghht. Your perversion of the doctrine of the separation of church and state has brought us to the point where Christianity is the only institution which may be attacked but not defended or celebrated in the public square. I would be happy if your idea of Art and expression that included any use of symbols important to those of faith would be denied any public support on that prinicple. Any use of Christian symbolism would automatically disqualify any artist. That would be a nice start

You not only shove your views down everyone else's throats, you demand that we pay for the executioner's bullet.

consider a conversation my kid had at school last week. They were discussing the election, and the other child said, “KERRY’S for QUEERS.” She also informed my daughter that “GOD KILLS QUEERS.”

I bet $50 that's a lie.

The religious left is in the predicament that they're in because they took off the kid gloves 50 years ago, and have spread a trail of heresy, betrayal, misery and suffering wherever they've been.

They have destroyed mainline Protestantism. They have turned the Roman Catholic Church in the United States upside down and destroyed the faith of thousands in the process.

They have created a pansexual dystopia where anorexia, depression, and youth suicide are common.

And now, with a little pushback, they're crying.

Go to Hell.

Except when it comes to shoving Gay-ness down OUR throats.

They could. But I wouldn't buy it either.... And to you somebody should sell a guide to other people's beliefs...

For me christian evangelism is a personal attack, and one I won't support... We have said, no thank you, we don't believe in the NT or in Jesus for 2000 years... This should be enough for you!

Big difference between being "religious" and being a believing,practicing, christian.Religion can be nothing more than an exercise in ritual or "dogma" Where true people of faith practice what they preach.I think this is what bothers them the most about "W" his faith is an integral part of his life not just a ritual for show.

Those were kid gloves? Made from real human kids I presume with brass knuckles sown in.

"Bible verse for Bible verse."

Uh, I think this should read:

'Communist Manifest reference for Bible verse.'

What do they mean they don't evangelize.

They preach their gospel of filth in the public school via the NEA.

They have their preachers and evangelists on T.V. everyday and have had for years.
Oprah, Phil Donahue, Norman Lear, Sally Jessie, Ellen Degenrate, Rosie O'Fat, Jane Pauley, Geraldo, Bill Maher, all the late-night talk shows (some more than others), almost any 'neutral' PBS program, any sitcom that touches morality, on and on it goes.

The music industry is also preaching a message of rejection of the Bible and acceptance of another gospel. Sex, Drugs...

This article is part of the reason why liberals lost the election to value voters. Smearing Christians is not a family value and making up stories about evangelicals being bigots shows your own bigotry.
