Ummm, you are using the capital E Evangelical incorrectly. Fea is not a capital E Evangelical according to Cowpokes earlier definition. And it appears that CP is switching back and forth using the ambiguities of language to dodge around the points made.

The link has a brief summary of why he feels that evangelicals are driven by fear and he comes to that conclusion from the political positions taken by Evangelicals through history. He sees a pattern of white Evangelicals holding the belief that the US is solely their country and therefore expect to have their culture and way of life protected by law while having no regard for other cultures.

It's kinda like when the liberals in the SBC were calling us "FunDAMNmentalists".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Post #116 was presented as a description of the use of "Evangelical". In later revisionist history, when it turned out that the quora-definition Cow Poke had depended on was limited at best and wrong in some cases, it was presented as an example of the use. What Cow Poke (or the random Quora user provided) was certainly not EGGzackly right. The use of it has varied to some extent but it seems the main point was to dodge the points in the opening post no matter if it meant continual use of what had already been shown to be wrong or limited at best.
Seems all that was more important than letting someone actualy guide by pointing to what the Bible actually says.
