[lbo-talk] The coming evangelical collapse

[Mark Bennett]

"The evangelical investment in moral, social, and political issues has
depleted our resources and exposed our weaknesses. Being against gay
marriage and being rhetorically pro-life will not make up for the fact that
massive majorities of Evangelicals can't articulate the Gospel with any
coherence. *We fell for the trap of* *believing in a cause more than a faith
*."

That's hitting the nail on the head.  Of course, it takes a theologian of
genuis to "articulate the Gospel with any coherence"; but, still, it's
remarkable how these militant "Christians" are, in many cases, utterly
ignorant of the Gospels, Christ, and the New Testament in general, except
for The Book of Revelations, of course, read in the most literal manner
possible.
