And penises. Not that I would know.
That husband, Thomas Pate, had pretended to be a true-blue evangelical to win her and her parents’ hearts. And he succeeded. It wasn’t until almost the couple’s wedding before his bride’s parents realized he was trouble.
I get it that this isn't a christian site but I don't why they seem to take being Evangelical and "Trouble" as mutually exclusive. The article even seems to touch on how fundamentally fake evangelicism is. How can someone fake a fakery?
Micah’s prayer journal held a great many answers for investigators after her death. There, investigators learned about his growing trouble with pornography abuse and his gambling problem.
They obviously had problems however I'm wholly unwilling to take any evangelical at their word about "pornography abuse". I've had people claim I had one, viewing porn maybe four times a season. The cult views any use of pornography as a problem.
Micah’s family still struggles to pick up the pieces after losing her. Her brother visits her grave often. A sorority at Harding College established a scholarship in her name. Her mother, who teaches Bible and ministry courses at Harding, gives speeches to evangelical women about recognizing the potential signs of domestic violence.
I'm not discounting the notion I may just be cynical but anyone else doubting any of this will be meaningful? If I cared to gamble I'd place a wager that the 'potential signs of domestic violence' taught about in one of the cults private unis are farcical.
At the small scale and the large, evangelicals can’t defend themselves against bad-faith actors
No shit. It's a system designed to empower the bad-faith actors, it'd be actively counter productive for the faith to so much as tolerate effective defences against them.
There are sects of Christianity worse than others.
That doesn’t mean we should give the lesser ones a pass.
No, just that we should be more vigilant and active against the dangerous ones.
I'm not sure why people are complaining about this article. I thought it was very interesting, especially since I know very little about actual evangelical culture.
That article is so repetitive it's hard to read.
