This is hilarious! Christian scholars and theologians are releasing a manifesto today to "take back" the term Evangelical from the politicians. Apparently, it's starting to have a negative connotation in the world of politics. I wonder why?USA Today says in Manifesto aims to make 'evangelical' less political:
"Evangelical" has been widely used to refer to Christians who have conservative political views, but the Evangelical Theological Society requires members to agree on just two points: inerrancy of Scripture, and belief in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as "separate but equal in attributes and glory" and essential for salvation.
This really makes me laugh because if "Scripture" is nothing else it is errant. In fact that's exactly what this blog is all about. And don't even get me started on the "holy trinity"... Ha!

lol, I did a post explaining this point (in case it's not obvious...): The Religious Right vs. Young People.
Hi there,
Thanks for your entries on this blog. We have been having troubles with Christian fundamentalists lately (especially those from Singapore) who oppose us because we refuse to take a hard anti-gay stance or to attack people who do not hold to a narrow Sola-Scriptura fundamentalism. One in particular even threatened to have my son raped/sodomized on his birthday. The rest have been anathemizing us.
Our blog is Jeremiah Blues (http://jeremiahblues.blogspot.com). They have also been bragging about their higher authority because of their supposed learning (getting degrees and doctorates, learning Greek, etc.)
Do your part and add your voice to ours. We welcome all comments.
Thanks.

p/s - Glad to see another free-thinking comic fan. :)
Keep up the good work... :)
