True. But at least it's starting. That's one thing I had thought would *never* happen. So now I am pleasantly surprised.

Here's George Barna using his tremendous powers of rationalization:

Quote:

The survey data suggest that people form impressions of others on the basis of one-dimensional images created and communicated by the mass media. "Our studies show that many of the people who have negative impressions of evangelicals do not know what or who an evangelical is," commented George Barna, whose firm conducted the research. "People's impressions of others are often driven by incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-context information conveyed under the guise of objectivity when, in fact, there is a point-of-view being advanced by the information source. Too often, we develop mental images of others without knowing those people."

I think it started in the 50's, myself.

Oh yes I know those people.

You haven't lived until you've been screeched at and hit by a raving fundie, called a heathen, and been thrown out of said fundie's house (quickly and voluntarily, I might add--with her idiot kids running after me to beat me up!)
