Do Evangelical Christians drink the Kool-Aid?

Answer 1

I think the true tragedy is that Jim Jones has forever tainted Kool-Aid's good name. Why couldn't he have used Wyler's?

Answer 2

Yes they do, and just like those poor buggers at Jonestown, they do it WILLINGLY!

It's a mystery.

What baffles me is that the roots of the current "biblical literalism" can be traced to farmer parents not long before the turn of the last century being afraid that too much education would lure "the kids" off the farm and out into the world, and even though this has already happened, there are enough parents who still want to continue on the same silly path. What is the purpose? Is it so hard for Evangelicals to accept that maybe God is SO smart, he invented science & biology & evolution even?

Answer 3

Evangelical people in my life have done mean and disgusting things to hurt me. But I had to heal and forgive them to get them out of my head. Otherwise I found myself driving around in my car and arguing with dead people. The mean and cruel Evangelicals were not thinking about me, but I couldn't stop thinking about them, because they had hurt me.

To complicate this matter, many of the Evangelicals, including my Mother, were well-intended. But the minister at the church I attend (it's a New Age denomination called Unity School of Christianity) told me that as 'long as I fight the Evangelicals, they will win.' He said, 'That which you resist, will persist.' He was very wise.

So I found a different path, which meant I FORGAVE the Evangelicals for imposing their nutty religion into my personal life, and I ACCEPTED THEM rather than continuing to fight them. Once I accepted that they had a right to exist, I started to notice that they were not all bad.

This was ironic, because the Evangelicals had tried to force me to accept a 'black and white' 'either/or' world of good and evil, with no in-betweens. Evangelicals are terrified by ambiguities and grey areas, and they despise folks who don't talk in absolutes. They suffer from rigid thinking, and they will be healed when they open up to the splendor and diversity of the Universe, eventually freed from the fear which rules them.

Nevertheless, for my own sanity, I accepted that the Evangelicals could be enormously compassionate and good, while at the same time they are enormously bigoted and hateful. They are a big bundle of contradictions, like every other human I know. They are a lot like me. Surprise. Surprise.

Once I accepted their humanity, I began to heal. To speed my personal healing, I began to bless and pray for the mean and hateful so-called 'Christians', something I learned from their founder, Jesus Christ. Who knew? This practice set me free from hating the wicked Evangelicals who had persecuted me most of my life. Now I say, 'Live and let live.' Thank God (Goddess)!

Consequently, it's still fun for me to make jokes about the born-again wing nuts, but I don't do it with as much anger, which means I'm getting over the injury they caused in my life. Forgiveness and kindness, ideas attributed to Jesus, are the path to healing from the pain and trouble these pesty and annoying Evangelicals continue to bring into everyone's life.

Christ belongs to everyone, not just to literal believers.
However, I still prefer pagan Egg Nog to Kool-aid, Thank you.

Peace on Earth.
