Reaction vs Nashville Statement

[bobbieinok]

Many of the commenters at the blog thewartburgwatch.com are present or former Evangelicals.

They all wonder why THIS statement NOW:

1) They ask why no concern for the abused children and women who are found everywhere in Evangelical churches?

2) Most believe this is a major attempt to salvage the consevatives' belief in men as permanent leaders and in women as permanent submissive followers.

3) They think the LGBT concerns are a cover for for this primary agenda.They are also very angry about the further damage and pain this statement causes LGBT people.

The comments reveal the extent to which the so-called Evangelical leaders are losing the people in the pews.

1. D'ya want to be really disgusted?

Visit PFAW's Right Wing Watch on any day. (I visit there daily.)

BTW, PFAW was started by Norman Lear.

PFAW == People For the American Way.

Right Wing Watch will show you just how disgusting the religious right are, on a daily basis. It really pisses me off what those people get away with spouting. Only RWW makes it their duty to challenge them.

5. What is the "Nashville Statement?"

6. I think it's online

It's a very strong religious-right definition of marriage, a very strong statement of 'Biblical' gender roles/stereotypes, and a strong condemnation of gays, lesbians, and transgender people. What is somewhat surprising is their claim that anyone supporting someone in one of these categories is not a Christian.
