Ignorance Dsiplayed By ACMs & Most Fundamental /Pentecostal Protestants

The ACMs critisize sociologists, theologians, and other PROFESSIONAL ACADEMICS who study Alternative Religions, and who announce the conclusions that 99% of these ARMs that Fundamental Protestants and Penecostals tag as emotionally descrtuctive cults are actually BENIGN.

This angers ACMs/Fundamental and/or Pentecostal Protestants because their professional findings and conclusions make the ACMs claims look foolish, uneducated, intolerant, and down right hateful towards 'ALL' faiths other than their own.

Outside of THEMSELVES...Who 'Else' AGREES With The ACM's Opinion On What Defines A 'Cult'? Nobody. But Since They Don't Listen To ANYone Other Than Themselves...It Does Not Matter What Anyone Else Has To Say?...

The Religious Tolerance Network of Canada states that after reading ACM's own articles of attack against ARMs they found much of their information to be in error. For example, they said that the ACM sites lump Neo-Pagans, Wiccans and Santists all together. They also stated that, "NO Unitarian Universalists believe in the trinity. " This statement I know not to be true because I have personally taked to a number of Liberal Protestants who say they attend both the UU church AND Episcopalians which is completely PRO-trinity.

I have also caught a number of individuals on Beliefnet claiming that JW's threaten family members that if they do not become JW that they would go to hell. I know this to be FALSE for a FACT because JW's REJECT the belief in hell!

Many times ACMs claims against ARMs is just based on hearsay or ignorant hand-me-down answers that are mistakenly in error. Yet other times well planned out and pre-meditive lies are proven on the part of Fundamental Protestants merely to coex recruitement. Case in point:

Fake LaVey? by John Morehead

"YUCAIPA,California —On April 29 Charisma News reported that Anthony Jess LaVey,son of Anton LaVey, the late founder of the Church of Satan,had converted to Christianity after a lifetime of physical and psychological abuse by his father,and was now preaching the gospel and warning Christians about the dangers of Satanism and the occult.

As a result of his conversion story,Anthony LaVey has been a frequent guest speaker on Christian radio programs and at churches.The major problem with this story is that Anton LaVey had no son named Anthony Jess LaVey. LaVey fathered three children, two daughters named Karla and Zeena, and one son named Xerxes. This fact has not stopped a number of individuals from making fraudulent claims to be LaVey offspring in order to gain the support of Christians and churches for themselves and their ministries.

When contacted and asked for documentation to support his claims, Jess "LaVey" responded that he was unable to provide evidence due to satanic conspiracies against him. He then threatened litigation for those who disputed his claims. In addition to a lack of supporting evidence, counterevidence is available. As noted above, biographical data supports the existence of only three authentic LaVey children, and Jess "LaVey's" alleged satanic experiences perpetuate debunked Satanic Ritual Abuse stories and all-too-common evangelical misrepresentations of the diverse beliefs of Satanists. To make matters worse, EP News Service picked up the story on May 9 and circulated it as legitimate.

Unfortunately, evangelical gullibility and misrepresentation are commonplace in the areas of Satanism, Wicca, and Paganism."

Can you believe this? That a Fundamental Christian group would actually make up a LIE to coex new converts? Surely, if one traces this story back as this writter of this article did and verifies the information to be false it not only causes the account to loose creditability..but also the resource that create and promotes it, and in the end they end up making ALL forms of Christianity look like the ass that those against Christainity or all froms of religion 'claims' it is. It does not help. By WHY would a person do such a stupid thing? As the writter of this Cornerstone article said: "Unfortunately, evangelical gullibility and misrepresentation are commonplace-...".The other reason goes back to the previous artcle on the harm done by Fundamental and /or Pentecostal fear-tactict beliefs of HELLFIRE and/or the 'Rapture'....of which motivates this "ZEAL"...

Are Fundamental &/Or Pentecostal Protestants Guilty Of These Charges they Make Against NRMs?
