That is great. I am interested in knowing what an Evangelical is. I think Billy Grahm is evangelical. I think Pat Robertson is evangelical. Dobson I think is. I think Swaggert is evangelical.

I hear evangelical, but admit when it comes down to it I am ignorant really of what an evangelical is. For instance, are Catholics evangelical?

So according to some evangelicals, Catholics are a cult too?

yup. Though it would probably be rude of me to hijack Lurker's thread here.

Well then I don't mind being called a cult anymore if Catholics get labeled the same way. We should start our own cult football conference. ND, Boston College and BYU. Any other teams??

Well, we worship Barry Switzer, if that counts.

I love Catholics. I married one. Who's now an atheist. But that's another story.

Also, Lurker, you'll be happy to hear I've only seen the phrase "retarded evangelicals" used here once. So hopefully you'll find it a mostly friendly atmosphere.

And since Aaron Shaf appeared to actually BE one, the term was likely not misused.

Good, let's just hope I don't add to the reputation that Aaron has apparantly given us, then there will be no need to toss it my direction.
