Are you an extremist?
According to a U.S. Army Reserve presentation (now discarded) by the Department of Defense, if you are an evangelical Protestant or a Catholic, you belong to an extremist group. You’ve been lumped in with, al Qaeda, Hamas, and the KKK. You can read one news story here.
As would be expected, the presentation caused a huge ruckus. After all, more than half of Americans consider themselves to be either Catholic or Protestant Evangelical. The Department was quick to backpedal, assign blame and make excuses.
At first, I too was upset. No one likes to be branded an extremist. Few people want to be likened to the KKK. But then I started thinking.
Maybe they’re right.
