Ilikeverin, what you smoking? It's not an insulting term, or shouldn't be. It's like Socialism, or Fascism, Republican, or Democrat. Just a word that, while having emotionally charged nuance to some, needn't be an insulting word to anyone.
While I never said that right out, congrats, you got my [not-so-]subtle undertone
Yes, I think evangelicalism (I doubt that's a word ) is a bad thing, because, to me, it suggests that you think your religion is out-and-out superior to another, not just different.
How can one be a part of any religion at all, whether Jewish, Catholic, Protestant or just all around "Christian", unless they believe it to be the "most correct"?
I never said I don't believe it's the 'most correct'. I said I don't think there is a 'best' religion.
I think the best one is the correct one.
And if your religion says that there is only way to God, I would definitely try to get the word out. There's a difference between being open about your faith and "forcing" it on someone.
And, if someone is open about his faith, prays regularly, and talks to non-Christians about Jesus, then yes, Steve would qualify as an evangelical. I don't consider being evangelical to be a bad thing at all, considering I'm one myself.
