(35,096 posts)1. I kinda get the feeling evangelicals don't actually read the Bible or seek spiritual experience
Something tells me they are the type who is only Christian because it means they feel they get to say "I'm a Christian, that automatically means I'm morally superior to you."

(35,390 posts)4. Is that really the analogy you want to use?
"It took God to knock it down, and when the wall was down they killed everybody inside"?
It's like saying, "Repent, or the caravan will come and execute every one of you, man, woman, and child because they want your land for themselves alone! There is no cooperation--they must die or you will."

China's wall didn't stop Gengis Khan and the Mongols. Hadrian's Wall didn't keep out the Picts and Brits, or later the Danes. France's Maginot line didn't stop the German army either.
