Nevertheless if you look at Sydney, you'll find that the "Bible Belt" is pretty much synonymous with safe Liberal seats.Neil Cameron (One Salient Oversight)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03143948543305522865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14237465.post-1128824650065896082005-10-09T12:24:00.000+10:002005-10-09T12:24:00.000+10:00Doog,I appreciate that this is how you might feel ...Doog,<BR/><BR/>I appreciate that this is how you might feel about the current situation. However, please believe at least from me that I would certainly stand against this would it happen - and still call myself a true Evangelical.Neil Cameron (One Salient Oversight)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03143948543305522865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14237465.post-1128821020495538592005-10-09T11:23:00.000+10:002005-10-09T11:23:00.000+10:00I'm convinced the far Right *wants* a Civil War - ...I'm convinced the far Right *wants* a Civil War - they've failed to 'take America by storm' the way they've been barking about for decades and now they're going the political route. The Republican party's elite, to their undying dishonor, has embraced this evil plan and aligned their neo-con agenda to the Christers.<BR/><BR/>We're quickly running out of time - the blantant, shameless parade of abuse of Justice, disregard for 'the least of us' and the endless falsehoods threaten to overwhelm our system of government - with the willing and active help of corporate media.<BR/><BR/>All the while, glazed-eye religious zombies keep telling us that they 'love us' and just want to 'save us'.<BR/><BR/>Yeah. Right. They'll stand outside the wire of the death camps and cheer each blast of gunfire and then sing hymns as the bulldozers cover the mass graves.<BR/><BR/>These people are INSANE and have to be stopped. They make the Nazis look like Mr. Rogers.Doogmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577987264215449039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14237465.post-1128819870952999472005-10-09T11:04:00.000+10:002005-10-09T11:04:00.000+10:00Neil,What I notice about Mohler and Dobson is the ...Neil,<BR/><BR/>What I notice about Mohler and Dobson is the way that they, and many conservative American Evangelicals like them, reduce issues of gospel and culture to advocating for policies of the conservative "Right" in America and fighting "liberals."<BR/><BR/>What is noticable about churches in the USA compared with churches in your own country, or NZ for that matter, is that as a "political liberal" I can worship together with a "political conservative." Even though he might think my politics are right off in many ways, he generally wouldn't question that I had a commitment to articulating and expressing a biblical worldview.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786802640380693584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14237465.post-1128781257598193232005-10-09T00:20:00.000+10:002005-10-09T00:20:00.000+10:00True evangelicals will speak out about sin True ev...True evangelicals will speak out about sin <BR/><BR/>True evangelicals "pick and choose" the sins they talk about. What I have noticed about the evangelicals, is that they speak from the old testament. You never hear them spouting what Jesus taught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
