If this is the way evangelical Christians think, then I applaud Georgetown University's decision to toss these nut jobs off campus......

This is a pretty broad brush stroke you drew here, from your post #31. People described as evangelical comprise quite a large proportion of Christians. If you will withdraw your broad comment, I will withdraw mine.

Ah! This is the post which elicited the comment. I missed it entirely. I would think few evangelicals actually believe this. Few, as in next to none. If they do, then "Houston, we have a problem."

"Yesterday, an evangelical Christian told me that he was raised a Catholic, but became a Christian last year. I asked him what he meant by that and he said, "Catholics are not real Christians, and that many of them are pagans and dabble in witchcraft." He then went on to explain why Mary is not a Saint. (I stopped paying attention after the witchcraft comment so please don't ask me to explain why he thinks Mary is not a Saint.) If this is the way evangelical Christians think, then I applaud Georgetown University's decision to toss these nut jobs off campus given Georgetown's position as a Roman Catholic college that is run by the Jesuit order."

That's why I phrased my statement using the word "if." I don't know whether the person I encountered reflects the majority or minority view among evangelicals, and if it is a minority view, is it a significant majority or so small that it really is meaningless. BTW, do you believe that Roman Catholics are Christians? Do you view Roman Cathoics as pagans?
