Their entire ideology is projection. They’re grooming kids, so they assume everyone is grooming kids.
Projection with a heaping portion of hypocrisy.
So, now they support indoctrination? Of course, they always have, but that's another matter.
Every conservative accusation, is a confession.
Just the right bible chapters though. If you actually read the thing, Jesus teaches the complete opposite of what conservatism is today.
Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
Jesus is very anti-capitalist all over the bible.
I believe the term they prefer for this kind of behavior is "grooming." He's advocating for the grooming of children, by their definition.
George Barna told religious-right activists at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand” summit Thursday that it is their duty to try to ~~indoctrinate other people's children into a "biblical worldview."~~ fuck all the way off and mind their own business.
Minor correction there, Georgie.
Or do you not think you should treat people the way you'd like to be treated?

They definitely do not believe this. They literally hate gay people. They invest a lot of energy in supporting policies that harm trans people, too. They are zealous in their belief that they know the Truest of all Truths and will impose that view on everyone.
Oh trust me, I know.
I grew up in a church like that, and it's perfectly obvious that they value power and control over love and support.
In fact, love and support are twisted into tools of power and control there.
Sad little cowards.
I hope he catches ebola.
What a wretched scumbag.
Religion is a mental illness and should be treated as such. Indoctrination of a child into religion is abuse and the state should intervene to bring these children into a safe environment.
Stop it. Get some help.
Seriously, though. This is like cult-level shit.
Evangelicals are, at best, annoying. I say this as a Christian conservative. There are other (and better) ways of fulfilling the Great Commission besides arsing people into your favorite flavor of dogma.
....Or here's an idea all religious people can be free to practice their religion as long as it hurts no one and doesn't infringe on other people's rights. It's simple really. It's a huge world out there and not everybody's going to believe in the same things you do and you just have to get over it. Don't push your shit on other people. We don't believe in it and stop trying to make us. Mind your own business and stop fucking up the world for the rest of us who just want to live peacefully with our families and friends.
It isn't annoying at best evangelicals are mentally ill
What you described as ideal is what the US is supposed to be, and what you described evangelicals as doing is what evangelicals are actually doing, and doesn't really rise above the level of annoying. Maybe they are mentally ill, but that doesn't make them anything beyond annoying.
But people do have a first amendment right to preach. They don't have a claim to a captive audience, though.
