So, let’s see. You want me to seriously consider an article critical of evangelical Chrisitanity from a source that is a cult, critical of evangelical Christianity?

Hey, visit my profile. I'm a reformed Southern Baptist, which I suppose, would have me fall into the category of "Evangelical."

It's a good article and a number of evangelicals either agree with this assessment or have been saying similar things for a while. Case in point.

not fair to say Catholics are critical of evangelical Christianity. There are plenty of evangelical Catholics. The Catholic Church simply teaches her doctrine. She knows that critizing fellows Christians of differing doctrines is unproductive.

A blog written by a Catholic doesn't make it "from the Church". He's simply making an observation, which is quite valid.

A personal relationship with Christ is not bound by doctrine, but if it's based heavily on emotions, then it is like seed planted on rocky ground. There's a certain amount of knowledge and discipline that is mandatory to maintain that relationship with HIM. And are we passing that on to our kids? Or do we go to church IF we didn't stay up too late on Saturday night? Do we show and teach our kids that God made us to KNOW Him, to LOVE Him, and to SERVE Him in this world and be happy with Him in the next? You can't truly love Him unless you know Him. And that requires at basic biblical and doctrinal learning, in the least.

Skip the Mind Science Cult Monitor if you want, and go straight to the source: The Original Coming Evangelical Collapse Posts.
