I wholeheartedly condemn a large portion of the evangelical movement, and any religious fanatic, but I also believe that there's a case to be made for more charitable translations and interpretations, and I know several Christians who believe not in the things you listed, but follow the less brimstoney new testament.

But to some extent I do agree with you, otherwise I would still be a Christian which I'm not, for the fact that any belief that subjugates moral philosophy and reasoning to interpreting holy text will always have blind spots.

Either way, I apologize if it distracted from the point I was trying to make, that all organizations, good or bad will have bad actors, but what's important is identifying which organization can be fruitful and which is inherently bad.

Maybe we will disagree on a few there.
