You apparently forgot to include that it is also required that an individual f*** a 14 year-old child to be "saved." And when others in your congregation also do this, give them a big "pat-on-the-back" and an "atta-boy." And then people wonder why the Christian religion (all religions for that matter) is on a severe and steady decline.
You have no idea what it means to be born again. Keep your bigotry to yourself.
What he said isn't that off-base.
It's not a matter of hypocrisy, it is a matter of distrust. Evangelicals feel so abused by the media and the elites that they refuse to believe anything coming out of the media. Conservative media and the GOP do not help the situation either, misinforming the people so that they will still turn out for whatever reptile politician will reliably pass tax cuts and cut social spending, while themselves exercising poor moral values. Of course, there are some horrific actions committed by evangelical leaders that are not appropriately dealt with - it happens in every religious or social community - but Evangelicals are uniquely branded as hypocrites when such events occur.
When you feel cornered and oppressed, you may find yourself sharing a bunker with people you may not be proud to be in the company of. It's very hard to convince people that they need to kick that other person out.
Oppressed? Give me a break. Is anyone calling for an Evangelical Christian ban? Is the President of the United States calling you a terrorist? Do people assume you're a member of a terrorist organization every time some self-righteous theocratic prick gets caught with his pants down? Don't play oppression olympics here. Do not even go there.
