Reply #31: We Use Those Terms To Distinguish them from Real Christians

[AndyTiedye]

Liberals don't respect Evangelicals, and no one believes they do, least of all Evangelicals. Scan a few posts. Look for words like "Talibornigain" or "Christofascists."

We use those terms for a reason. It would not be fair to use "Evangelicals" or "Christian" in their place, because the contexts in which we use them do not apply to most
Christians or even most Evangelicals. If you think we should be respectful to the likes of Dobson or Ralph Reed, I will have to respectfully disagree.

The problem is that any criticism whatsoever of these right-wing pseudo-Christians gets framed as an attack on Christiantity, no matter how we phrase it.
