what's in a name? 

so there;s been a lot of talk about name changes for christianity and evangelicals. first of all change the name of Christians is pretty dumb. It's like trying to wipe clean our history. They say people will make assumptions about us if they hear the word 'Christian', well I say let them. I f they want to judge us based on that word, then so be it. changing the word isn't gonna help cause eventually they will realize we are followers of Christ (and thus christian) and then we will still have all the questions to answer to. Besdies, many things have been done wrong in the name of christ and christianity, but amny wrong things have been done by athiests, muslims, communists and everyone else. we're human, we suck, deal with it.

Next up is the word Evangelical. for some reason we're held accountable for the mess of George W Bush and all that goes with him. I don't know why, I never voted for him (but then again I am Canadian). Let's be straight up and honest, real Evangelicals (as in the movement, not people who 'witness' their faith') are really just fundamentalists. NOw how would that look, if George Bush, who is waging war on fundamentalists and terrorists, was in deed a fundamentalists himself. of course it wouldn't be so hot,so Evangelical is much better (theres meant to be sarcasim throughout this). seriously, the Billy Grham crusade (great choice of a word there Billy) and all the rest are our champions of fundamental christianity. So just call me a christian, drop the evangelical. anyways, i've gone on a bitter tangent, so i'm gonna go have ice cream cake for breakfast.
