Why do the vast majority of preachers, pastors, etc. always talk in fake southern redneck-like accent?

Question

I've always noticed this and even met a few preachers whom faked the accent. Same is true with politicians and others in public positions. This drives me nuts especially watching a foreign preacher *try* to mask their native accent with a redneck one. Is this taught in the seminary and if so, why?

Answer 1

I have not noticed that - of course since I am from the south maybe that is why I haven't noticed it. And no, it is not taught in seminary.

Answer 2

surely the biggest denominations -- Lutheran, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Anglican, etc., have all issued statements endorsing Evolution. Christians do not spend all their time knocking Evolution, purely a handful of Creationists do. the familiar public of Christians interior the international are not American evangelicals, which you look specializing in. And there have been Christians who've mentioned the misdeeds of alternative Christians. Why do not atheists ever make an apology for the a hundred million people who died below communism, pondering communism became created, carried out, and ran by potential of atheists (and nevertheless is)? particularly, they'll say component like "nicely, the Soviets have been fairly Christians" or something the two ludicrous. it fairly is extra desirable than have died interior the call of all religions prepare (besides wars are fairly approximately administration of economic materials besides). that's fairly useful to to envision the status of your individual abode.

Maybe it's because God chose the foolishness of preaching to spread the gospel. Don't most preachers act foolish?

"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." I Corinthians 1:21

It's a matter of money!
