Yes, the Christian Right is actually going there. Chrisma Magazine is very influential in Christian conservative circles.

It's ironic that the author of the article said: "The constant compromising of preachers to avoid controversy is creating much damage—not only to the world, which is looking for a clear sound from preachers, but also to believers who have little discernment or are growing tired of ambiguity."

Really? Hardly a day goes by where these preachers aren't in the news screaming about homosexuality and how abominable it is. It's also one of the most divisive issues in our politics today. Everyone knows that conservative Christians hate gays. Fact is that not everyone is required to.

I hope that Pete Buttigeig doesn't win the nomination because I don't believe red state America could handle it. However, can people imagine the outcry if a liberal magazine said that evangelical Christians are worthy of death for being angry, intolerant bigots?

Over 200,000 people follow it on Facebook. I was raised fundamentalist Baptist and in the social media era, articles from Charisma were shared all the time.

It's very influential.

Charisma Magazine? Never heard of it and I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church so I've known and know very many evangelicals

I had to google it.

Oh, maybe this is why:

"Charisma Magazine"

"DescriptionCharisma is a monthly Christian magazine based in Lake Mary, Florida, a suburb of Orlando. It is aimed at Pentecostals and charismatics."


And you called it "prominent", LOL?

You REALLY need to put more effort into your game, IMO.

Since your (presumed) homosexuality is of top concern with regards to your identity and safety, be glad you live in the US where if anyone were to, say, toss you off a building, a la an Islamic country, they would get up to life in prison or possibly the death sentence, depending on the state.

Now, go out and prosper.

Freedom of speech and all that. Much like the responses in another thread when a Democrat Antifa man threaten to physically assault (f’ you up) a California Republican candidate. Loony liberals here said “words don’t hurt people”.
