  Evangelicals can call themselves Christian, Born again, whatever, but their words often betray them.

  “You can consider Mormons brothers in Christ all you want, but Christ doesn’t consider them saved. Which is all that counts.”

  Incredible.

  “Key Word Mormon.. Not Christian and we out number You Mormons big time”

  It doesn’t matter how many Evangelicals there are or if you consider yourself to be a Christians if in the end you are ignorant of what it means to be Christlike.

  When an Evangelical tells you he loves you and prays for you whether in the beginning, middle, or end of his berating and belittling your faith, in reality he just loves the sound of his own voice and the seeming intelligence behind his own theories about what and how you believe. Nowhere in any conversation does and Evangelical really attempt to get answers. If you can accept a left wing talk show host or a comedian’s ill-mannered shtick and lecture that speaks critically of what others hold sacred, an Evangelical will reinforce what you already think about Mormons. An Evangelical’s portrayal of Mormons is as ugly and hateful as anything they decry in the media. Evangelical’s scattershot and ad hominem attacks on comment boards against Mormons don’t add up to a coherent critique, and most aren’t qualified to provide one. An Evangelical aims for laughs instead of insight — and aims low, and then follows up with a provocation, thinly disguised as a sincere inquiry usually is almost as funny as it is offensive. Being snarky and smug doesn’t equate to providing insight, and many occasions Evangelicals lose sight of this in their zeal to spread the Gospel According to Evangelicals.

  when an Evangelical claims to be a Christian and a Conservative while mocking my faith on one comment board than saying we should all just come together man, it leaves me wondering how much more interesting the comment boards might be and how effective conservatives could be if Evangelicals focused on living their religion rather than focusing on how my religion, although has very nice, upstanding, patriotic, honest folks, is just so damned stupid and evil. You can’t be a Christian or a Conservative just reading about the parable of The Good Samaritan you have to live it.

  Evangelicals mock things they don’t understand about a Mormon’s belief and it becomes clear that an Evangelical’s view of the Mormon faith is based on a sophomoric at best reading of it. In the end, Evangelicals suffer from the same rigidity of thought and animosity of religion that they dislike in people on the left. Evangelical’s comments about Mormons are nasty, condescending, small-minded, self-amused and ultimately self-defeating. They’re only accomplishment is to make all religion look bad — and in this political, social climate we don’t need an Evangelical’s help with that. Its only once the Evangelical gets called out on their unchristian, un neighborly behavior that they’ll say that they’re just concerned with your soul and that they’re just preaching the truth with love and hey they just want you to be sure that your right so you don’t end up alongside Marx, Nitsche, Hitler, Stalin, and Joe the drug dealer from down the street. They’ll say that they get that you don‘t like anyone telling you that you’re not a Christian when you’ve been raised to believe that you are and if someone came along and said that to them, they’d probably defend themselves too. But then they’ll start back up with the preaching truth with mocking and telling you to defend yourself. Who knows what an Evangelical actually believes, they’re so busy telling me what I believe and how stupid my beliefs are to know.

  Evangelicals say that this film is a “Cartoon banned by the Mormon church” and claim that it is an actual portrayal of Mormon theology. This shows the degree of sincerity to which an Evangelical is engaged in when trying to figure out how Mormons view their own faith. When an Evangelical tells you he loves you and prays for you whether in the beginning, middle, or end of his berating and belittling your faith, in reality he just loves the sound of his own voice and the seeming intelligence behind his own theories about what and how you believe.
