In our work of challenging them, we need to keep several factors in mind. First of all, we must not lump all Christians in with the RRR. The majority of main-line Christians are as appalled at their tactics as we are. Nor, as we have seen, dare we stick all Evangelicals into one category either. And among the self-identified RRR themselves, there is not theological agreement, so we need to avoid guilt-by-association. Secondly, we need to be vigilant not to project our own shadow side onto them and demonize them, seeing them as the enemy. We must avoid being condescending or patronizing. I see them as extremely fearful people, desperately searching for security in a rapidly-changing world, who need our love and compassion, while we, at the same time, effectively interrupt their tactics.
