How can evangelicals claim to be Christian...

There's only ONE thing this type of Christianity cares about and it's not even on your list. It's obvious they don't give a rat's rump about the poor, the sick, lying, cheating, stealing, honesty, love, or just plain manners.

This brand of Christian doesn't even care about their own habitat. As far as they're concerned let the Earth and all those that live upon it burn to a crisp or get washed away in flood waters. They don't care about the lilies of the field or a fallen sparrow either. Not their problem.

They care about one thing and only one thing. Eternal life. I've always believed Christianity was the best of the best religions because you can do whatever you want to do. You can behave however you want to behave. You can lie, cheat, steal and even kill.

All you have to do is ask to be forgiven of all your sins and believe that Jesus suffered and died on that cross for you personally, and presto...you're forgiven and have eternal life! If you commit a sin a few minutes from now no need for concern. As long as you 'believe' Jesus paid for your sins you're glory bound. The best religion ever! Right?

They are watching and waiting for a New Heaven and a New Earth. The hell (so to speak) with anything or anyone on this old Earth because it's doomed anyway. Throw litter around, pour toxins into the water, pollute the air, pray for wars that could hurry along the destruction of this Late Great Planet. What do they care? They will be sitting at the right hand of their god in heaven and looking down at all the unbelievers burning in hell.

That's all that matters to these Christians. The afterlife. Not this life here and now. Nope. Not at all.

The thing sitting in the WH knows this and plays them like a fiddle. Pathetic.

It's because Evangelicals is a cult. IMO  Me, I'm spiritual. I believe in an ALL loving God no matter rich or poor, black or white and every other color in between, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, immigrants or naturally born and no matter what religion they practice, pagan, or atheist.  It;s how we live our lives that counts.  A lesson the cult could take from me and many like me.

guess that leaves me way out in left field

what,,,,,you an atheist?
gotta be baptized son to go to heaven. 

Exactly HOW do you know that most Catholics are only Christian on Sundays?  The word "CHRISTIAN" does NOT mean evangelical....  It simply means anyone who follows the teachings of Christ and accepts Christ as the Savior..  It's really as simple as that.. I'm sick and tired of the Fundamentalists claiming to have a corner on that word.  

As for bringing politics into religion.. From where I sit it's the Evangelicals who have done that by Stumping on the Pulpit and  infiltrating the Republican party and trying to elect candidates that are willing to legislate social issues near and dear to the Fundie's hearts...  Of course the Constitutional mandate of separation of church and state be damned.  

My father in law is Catholic, and he goes to church every single day. God is positive...fear is negative....God is love not fear.
