(AgapePress) - A new survey shows that adults with no connection to the Christian faith have low opinions of evangelicals. The researcher who conducted the study believes that may be one reason why churches are not growing.

The Barna survey asked respondents how they felt about evangelicals, born-again Christians, ministers, and other types of people. According to the survey, evangelicals came in tenth out of eleven, trailing lesbians and lawyers but beating out prostitutes.

That cracks me up

Quote:

"Whether that's because the media portray evangelicals in a negative light or because we've earned that 'badge of dishonor,' if you will, we've got to figure that out -- and then we have to address that."

How much you want to bet the fundies will be putting the blame on the media.

That study can't be right.
Who likes fundamentalists better than prostitutes?

LOL!!! Well, that is certainly an encouraging thought.

What exactly do they think will happen when they tell random people that their beliefs are wrong and that they are going to burn in hell? One word comes to mind: "duh".

No doubt they will blame the Atheistic media for portraying them in dim light and causing people to dislike them. <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />
