6. Here we are, Bob !
As you probably know, Bob, the word "Christian" is almost as bad a word in Liberal circles as "Liberal" is in Conservative circles, because the kind of "Christians" who get all the publicity and notoriety are the "Religous Right". We "Liberals Like Christ" have been trying to change all that, but it's not easy because the "Religious Right" is aligned with the rich and the powerful - which gives them all kinds of access to mass media of all forms and WE are aligned with the poor and the powerless. ( and people bitch and complain if we dare use the little access we have to the internet to promote "Liberals Like Christ".)

As for "evangelicals", in its purest form that should mean "gospel-believers", but in America (as opposed to England), too often it translates into "epistle-believers" and followers of Paul, rather than Christ.

SO when you say, "To me, Democrats are better at a lot of things that I believe in: helping the poor, abolishing the death penalty, etc-things that Jesus taught." you sound like a "Liberal Like Christ" and I invite you to work with us to "bring evangelicals (if that means followers of Christ) back into the Democratic fold, because that IS going to be an important concern if the Democratic Party ever wants to make a comeback."

I think you'll really appreciate our

See how much OTHERS like it at http://www.LiberalsLikeChrist.Org/testimonials.htm .

WE are the Answer to the "Christian Coalition" & "Religious Right" .
YOU are the way to get the word out, because unlike THEM,
WE are the friends of the POOR and the downtrodden,
who can't give US the kind of support that
the RICH give to our opponents.
