This type of site is nauseating
as it's an attack site, on multiple faiths.
The information is better organized, but it's one of the type of sites, that gives apologia a good name. http://www.irr.org/ Southerton is one of their headliners. I guess the antis pay better.

Isn't is odd that these supposed followers of Christ would be so invested in tearing down the faith of other would be disciples?
Just because the ideas of another, who loves and worships Christ, are not in conformance with my perception and modes of expression, why would I spend an iota of energy finding fault?

Please tell me you did not just say that.

Do you really think people bash Huckabee because of his politics and not because of his evangelical support base? Mormons hate Huckabee because his particular religious delusions do not coincide with their own religious delusions.

I've spent my life working and interacting with Evangelicals, getting along with the vast majority. Please spare me the suggestion that my dislike for Huckabee is religion based. It's when they start to challenge my beliefs that I tire of them. Huckabee qualifies in this respect.

I recognize the nuance, I simply don't believe people when they say it has nothing to do with religion. Huckabee is a dork, without a question. But he's a harmless dork. The amount of vitriol slung at the guy cannot be explained by his politic positions. Hell, people around here are cutting Hillary more slack than Huckabee. How do you explain that?

And I don't know that I agree that folks are cutting Hillary more slack--in fact I distinctly recall a thread no more than a few weeks ago asking why people hate Hillary so much.

Huckabee advocated just a week or two ago, his support for flying the confederate flag.
He's an idiot, and a dangerous one at that. |
