It would be ideal, but they haven't caused the deaths of anyone yet. They could be called a "hate group," but calling them a terrorist group is a bit extreme. Even the terrorist bombings of abortion clinics were extreme and isolated incidents that did not reflect the majority of evangelicals.

I myself am not a big fan of organized religion no matter the faith. I have found that most of them are nothing more then money machines for a select few and they prey on the poor and misinformed. I do believe in God and have a faith just not in an organized religion.
With that being said, I do not think they should be considered terrorist groups. My reasoning is simple. They do not perform acts of terror on any group or individual. When we look at radical Islam, we see a group of people who believe the only way to sort out differences is to kill anyone who believes something different then you. When was the last time you heard of the Baptists beheading the Protestants or anyone else for that matter?
Christianity has come a long way from the middle age crusades. Sure in the dark ages they were very terrorist like. They beheaded, burned, hanged and intimidated people into submission to their beliefs. The big difference between them and the current terrorists is they evolved. No longer is anyone persecuted for not having the Christian faith. In fact the opposite is true. I have seen it become fashionable to insult, belittle or even attack a person who is a Christian.

Sure, if the libs decide to pull out of America to avoid confrontaion like they're doing in Iraq... then go for it.
Only Taliberals could care more about a terrorists right to a fair trial and imprisonment without torture than they do the right of an unborn american to have his/her chance at life like everyone else.

When they advocate violence against those that don't agree, sure. IF an evangelical group that is pro-life bombs a clinic, that is an act of terrorism. They bomb the clinic to scare potential clients from going to abortion clinics. Instilling fear as a means to change society is what terrorism is all about.

Bombing abortion clinics could qualify as a terrorist attack and if the bomber was christian then all christians are guitly.
I like it!
Seriously though, if they want to enter the political sphere take away their tax free status and let them pay the entry fee like everybody else.

Funny, I haven't seen where one of them has blown up buildings and the only ones that come close to terrorist are either dead or were put in prison.

When they decide to use our people as flying missiles to destroy our national monuments and murder other people, yes. Until then we will just label them as insane.
