Well, another black-eye to the evangelical movement in the eyes of the average American citizen. The Florida church that is going to burn the Koran is the latest crazy in the "evangelical political circus." And guess what? Read this article at smoking gun and you will find the real problem here. It's a cult church. Of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out, after all these decades, that many of these anti-abortion, anti-homosexual, anti-whatever (muslim, Koran) are cult groups. This really isn't about the Koran just like many of the anti-abortion ahd anti-same-sex-marriage foes aren't reallt about those subjects as much as gaining control. It really is about control and cultism. When I first heard about this church in Florida, I said to myself, "I bet this chruch doesn't have too many members (less than 50 actually) and I bet it is tightly controlled. To see just how controlled it is, go to the smoking gun site above and at the end of the article, click on the church's handbook for ministry. Like most cults, you cannot contact family members or outside friends, eat sugary food and many other cultic traits.
What should evangelical leaders do with these types of churches? Every leader should stand up and say something like this:
While we don't condone sharia law, we do not agree with any Koran burning.
The way to shut these cults down amongst us is to speak out against them so they have absolutely no traction.
Again, this is NOT about Islam or the Koran IN THIS CASE. It's about control and cultism which is NOT fromt he Spirit of God.
