    Default More terrible news for creationists- Exvangelicals are coming!!!!!

    There is a growing number of “Exvangelicals” who disavow their previous stances on same-sex marriage, race and sexuality.
    Evangelicals, often citing the biblical text, typically maintain that marriage is between one man and one woman. Over 75% tend to worship in racially segregated congregations and favor gun rights and ownership more than other faith groups.
    But my interviewees tend toward intense critiques of their previous religious tradition, as well as rejecting the evangelical faith completely.


    White Gen X and millennial evangelicals are losing faith in the conservative culture wars (msn.com)

    IMHO far to many have become politicized... They are much more about politic then faith, love, thy neighbor & "the Gospel".........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    It was encouraging to see the Southern Baptist Convention reject Trumpist MAGA head contenders, and elect a relatively more moderate leader who at least thinks racial reconciliation should be on the table and rejects the nonsense hyperventilation about critical race theory

    My niece is a millennial who is an Evangelical, she recently recommended a book to me, “Jesus and John Wayne” by Kristen Kobes Du Mez
    she doesn’t support the current tenets of Evangelicals. She believes they have lost the gospel values of Jesus.

    Not read that book but have listened to parts of it & a pretty good analysist of it..

    IMHO that book is pretty much on the money..

    John Wayne was a hollywood creation. Always the hero & mostly good etc etc etc

    Just the opposite of a man that willingly=without opposition was crucified..
