A sect of christianity that is full of mindless, brainwashed followers who spend their entire life in misery when they aren't spreading the gospel. The whole sect is full of middle class/rich white folks who want to go to church to be entertained by crying, hysterical preachers and find new prejudices to be in support of. They believe that their religion is the only way of life and refuse to accept any other ways. There is no 'conversation' with evangelicals...they only convert. BEWARE.

Describes Christians who try to uphold the tenants of the Protestant Reformation, but without all that courage, conviction, and critical-thinking baggage that got their 16th and 17th century forefathers burned at the stake. Also known as "Evan-jelly-fish" due to apparent lack of brain and spine.
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and by plain Reason, and not by Popes and Councils, who have so often contradicted themselves. My conscience is captive to the Word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot and I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me."
-Reformer Martin Luther in his trial at the Imperial Diet of Worms.
"You know what, the thing that breaks my heart is that there's no way I can answer it without hurting someone on either side."
-Famous Evangelical Pastor Brian McLaren, when asked about his position on homosexual marriage.

The Andromeda Strain of Christianity. Often called "conservative Christianity", when in reality it is a very modern radical version. Evangelicalism has no true theology, substituting apologetics for theology, and far more concerned with what will draw in people than in actual beliefs.
Evangelicals are often mistaken for Protestants, however the two groups a quite different. Protestantism is based on the idea that people can read and understand the Bible for themselves, without need of a mediator. In Evangelicalism, your minister is the final authority of what the Bible means.
Evangelicals gather to worship in thousands or tens of thousands in the belief that their minister is an intermediary to God, and that it is very important to get their religion directly from him.

1.Someone who despite all accepted scientific evidence does not believe in evolution.
2.Even stranger in the 21st century. Someone who believes that "The passion of the Christ" is a better film than "Life of Brian"
3. Someone liable to start waving their hands during a church song.

Modern day nazi's. They brainwash there followers using group hysteria, which Hitler used. They try to convert everything that moves by forcing people to beleive what they think. They consider themselves an army of god, ready to fight for his bidding.
They are also hypocrite's. E.G. Ted haggard , who is one of the pastor's at a mega church i colorado, paid a male prostitute to butt fuck him after condeming gays and homosexual activity. He asked forgiveness and was forgiven and "cured", but if any one else who wasnt evangelical did that they would not be forgiven ( like Bill Clinton).
