An Open Letter to White Evangelicals: We’re Done With You

An open letter to white evangelicals: we're done with you

I found an interesting letter from Christian pastor John Pavlovitz. He speaks to what’s clearly wrong with Christianity in America. He called it “An Open Letter to White Evangelicals: We’re Done With You.” He was trying to point out what he sees in the evangelical movement today and why it is problematic.


Dear White Evangelicals,

I need to tell you something: People have had it with you. They’re done. They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:

They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.

Has Evangelical Christianity Become Sociopathic?

Is modern evangelical christianity becoming sociopathic?

I ran across an article on Huffington Post about how some Christians are using the Bible to discriminate against other contrary to religious teachings. It was written by Tim Rymel. I want to give him and The Huffington Post credit where credit is due.  There are some interesting links in his article. They provide the basis for his statements so people cannot call them “alternative facts.”

Since Evangelical Christianity began infiltrating politics, officially in the late 1970s, there has been a disturbing trend to limit or remove rights from those who don’t meet the conservative idea of an American. Many of these initiatives come in the form of “religious freedom” laws, which empower discrimination, while other legislation targets immigrants who believe differently. The result has been a sharp division in American culture, and the redefinition of Christian theology.
