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??

Thank you, but since I am shy by nature, I don't expect that I will do an incredible amount of posting.

Well, we worship Barry Switzer, if that counts.

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?

Frankly, me too, but I was really hesitant to use "Baptist Lurker" as my name since I know my faith has been, to say the least, unfair to yours. (I'm pretty sure I'm going to get banned now that my religious affliation is out there.)

I have never met a shy evangelical. Isn't that a contradiction of terms?

One thing I am sure of is people get labeled. I was a gung ho "evangelist" supporter. My conservative political views are pretty much in line with most evangelists. However, when some started labeling my beliefs as cultist, it changed my feelings. I don't mind someone saying my beliefs are wrong, heck I spent two years telling people theirs were wrong. However, I don't like to be called names besides.

You are more than welcome here. The only way we understand and learn is to communicate, IMHO. Besides we have liberal mormons on this board, they are the scourge of the earth.

Yeah, I suppose it is. Really, talking is not one of my gifts, I tend to stutter, especially when nervous - good thing that doesn't translate while typing.

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.
