The resident idot at HBO, Bill Maher, got himself in trouble again ... did anyone imagine it would take him this long? He was recently quoted as saying ...
"I am just embarrassed that [America] has been taken over by people like evangelicals, by people who do not believe in science and rationality," Maher said on MSNBC. "It is the 21st century. And I will tell you, my friend, the future does not belong to the evangelicals. The future does not belong to religion."
Eric Bridges writing in Baptist Press ("The evangelical identity crisis.") summarized his point ...
More important than how others see us, however, is how we identify ourselves -- and act on that identity. Are we cultural warriors or cultural peacemakers? Are our churches family bomb shelters built to keep out the moral chaos around us, or Christian entertainment centers built to pack ‘em in?Or does the chief end of man, and primary mission of the church, remain what the much-debated word “evangelical” implies: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, and to declare His glory and mercy to all nations?
