“Please don’t make this thread into something no one intended. It was not posted to debate Mormonism. Let’s not go there”

Who’s debating Mormonism? I’m trying to set the perameters for when it’s proper to invoke evangelism. Switch your Mormon sensor to a less sensitive setting, please.

For who? The author?

This thread is about Beck, not his religion. Which btw I don’t share.

Main Entry: evan·ge·list Pronunciation: \i-ˈvan-jə-list\ Function: noun Date: 13th century 1 often capitalized : a writer of any of the four Gospels 2 : a person who evangelizes; specifically : a Protestant minister or layman who preaches at special services 3 : an enthusiastic advocate

************************ This is Merriam-Webster's definition.

An evangelist is anyone bearing good news - most commonly of the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ, but one could be called an evangelist of anything that they are promoting to be good for someone: exercise, healthy food, etc. In this case, it is actually, technically used appropriately for Glenn Beck - an evangelist for getting back to the principles of our Founding Fathers -- however, it does seem to be used in a negative way - to make it look like Beck is some kind of preacher.

Personally, I think the Left's hero, Barack Obama, dons this manner quite frequently - especially when speaking to Black folks -- just listen to how he changes the way he talks.
