I attend a church that is a wide mix of races and political view points. But recently the Tea Party folks have been very organized in pushing a video series that talks about the Biblical basis of the views of America’s founding fathers. The Tea Party is never mentioned but the connection is understood. How do I engage in dialog with this group? They are well organized, they know their facts and principles, and they use scripture to support their views. I sent the Tea Party Jesus video link to several of them but this just reinforced their claim that their critiques are mean spirited and like to demonize them without having a clear understanding of the Tea Party principles or Biblical arguments refuting those principles. Telling them that Ayn is an atheist just makes them shrug because they say their principles are based on our founding fathers not on Ayn.

How do I engage them in real dialog about the core principles of the Tea Party? If I don’t find a systematic way to do so they will soon control the teaching content of our church and Tea Party indoctrination will become standard fare.
