Evangelical Christians are hardly distinguishable from the unsaved, unwashed masses, reveal findings from nearly every polling organizations making these kinds of surveys.
Scandalous behavior is rapidly destroying American Christianity. By their daily activity, most “Christians” regularly commit treason. With their mouths they claim that Jesus is Lord, but with their actions they demonstrate allegiance to money, [...]

It’s nice to see Islam progressing like this.

Churchmongering
