I think stereotyping any group of people is wrong. I believe that God moves, heals, and delivers today. Just because something is different doesn't mean it is scary. But at the same time, that doesn't mean I will vote for Palin or think she is the best person for the job, when I believe Obama is.
I believe the story of creaton wasn't to show that God created in 6 days but the importance of the Sabbath day of rest, as in God ordained that day of rest from the begining. Plus the audience wouldn't have cared how old the earth truly was, it wouldn't have bothered them or their concept of time.
define literal, there are parts of the bible that should be taken literal and there are others that are metaphors and stories. Revelation is definitly one of them and you also have to take the context the stories were written in and the people they were written to.
We are stereoptyped by many, and when we have views that are divergent from the mainstream evangelicals we are considered unchristian, either way we can't win
Do you think someone that said the war is a mistake from the beginning would want us to waste more time and lives there. That is his viewpoint, Iraq=mistake, Afghanistan=right war.
