I’m very proud of the Catholics and Mormons who stood tall supporting prop 8. Kinda wonder why the evangelical movement was relatively silent on the issue? Blessings to all churches that were shining their light in the darkness!

Wow! You were eavesdropping on all CA Evangelicals and Evangelical leaders? You monitored all Voters' Guides that went out from all CA Evangelical churches?

California has more Christians than any other state (not % wise -- that's actually pretty low; just sheer numbers). Believe me, had the Evangelicals remained "silent" as your audacity of deceit claims, then Prop 8 wouldn't have passed.

It took an effective coalition of Catholics, Mormons, Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and, as we saw with the voting results, minority voters. Even the O-man "contributed" indirectly -- as his presence on the ballot drove up minority voter turnout, who in turn, tended to vote for Prop 8.

If you're going to make your "relatively silent" claim, then I would wager your evidential proof is likewise based upon an argument from silence.

Because we tend to do our 'work' anonymously and not crow about our efforts.

Matthew 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Gee, do you have to hijack the thread and turn it into an Evangelical bashing right from the start?

What would your reaction have been if someone made a comment like that about the Mormons?

Something like this?

Why start? What was the point?

"Kinda wonder why the evangelical movement was relatively silent on the issue?"

A total lie!

The proposition was put on the ballot SOLELY by evangelicals. (cut the PAGAN BS, ok?)

I agree with you 100%!!!
The Evangelical church was far too quiet!... and I am a member of one!

Now where do you get that?
Just because evangelicals aren’t screaming “look at me look at me” does not mean they were not involved.
