REVIEWERRATING & REVIEW

It's all in how you define it: "Although evangelicalism has been defined in a number of ways, most adherents consider belief in the need for personal conversion, a high regard for Biblical authority, and its emphasis on the sacrifice of Christ."

"The term "fundamentalist" has since been generalized to mean strong adherence to any set of beliefs in the face of criticism or unpopularity."

"Dispensationalists is a Christian theological view of history and Biblical interpretation."

With these definitions it doesn't sound so bad, does it?

I admire many aspects of the Christian right. Culture does play an important role in maintaining the moral standards of a society, and on that point I do agree with the Christian right. However, I don't believe that they we should infuse politics with a spiritual agenda. When religious leaders become political, it takes away from the broader moral lessons they are trying to teach us.

Alexis de Tocqueville once said that "religions should be careful to confine themselves to a proper sphere, for if they wish to extend themselves beyond spiritual matters, they run the risk of not being believed at all." The clergy is there to change people individually, not to change nations politically. Church and state: two different things that should stay separated. Those on the religious right and the religious left have their place, and that's out of politics. They have important things to say, but the religious right should not endeavor to be so politically ambitious. They know very little about running a government, and what they do know is generally wrong.

Nothing in the world wrong with practing your faith in a free society. There is everything wrong with the silly belief that your superstition makes for law or dogma over others. Such a simple premise lost on far too many of this particular ilk. . .

AKA, with some exceptions, what we would call 'rustics'....I can't remember...who founded the Dispensationalists? Wasn't it Charles Nelson Reilly? ( real answer below)

John Nelson Darby

The GOP is more and more in thrall to this group and cannot win without its support. Jimmy Carter was the first successful candidate ever who declared that he was a born again Christian. That won him the presidency as he carried the old Confederacy except for Virginia. Carter turned out to be a garden variety liberal who happened to attend a Baptist Church. This group shifted to and elected Reagan and never looked back.
