Coffee Bean directed readers towards this post, by evangelical Christian One Salient Oversight, asking the question: "What's driving American evangelicalism?"
"Being an evangelical seems to be getting harder by the day," he admits. "Not because I somehow think that there's evil ungodly atheists or Darwinists out there who are going to destroy the world - they're hardly going to do much anyway. No; what makes it hard being an evangelical these days is the actions of other evangelicals."
I've been bickering, as normal, with a conservative pal of mine about Christianity and the recent election and my point - that the Bush-bumper sticker crew is more concerned with pushing their own political agenda than God's - seems to be shared by OSO.
It turns out, you don't need to be a Godless, Atheist heathen like me to feel that way.

I posted the link on my blog and directed you specifically to it because I felt it was an excellent portrayal of someone who is an evangelical expressing how he feels about some of the things other evangelicals are involved in. It is hard to be a Christian when you have to fight against certain stereotypes... you come against opposition on all sides.
I'm glad you liked it.
Oh... and so you know, I can't stand bumper stickers of any kind.
