The new evangelists

Article Abstract:

Evangelism is the zealous and militant promotion of a cause, religious or otherwise. Evangelists are often so sure they are absolutely right that they become intolerant of other people, beliefs or theories that disagree with them. Some will even commit violent crimes to promote their beliefs or harm those that disagree with them.

Style and substance, horse and cart

Article Abstract:

Many people are easily cheated by a speaker's brilliant way of speaking or delivering speeches, unmindful of the real message of the speaker. People must change their way of judging speakers and learn to put their focus on the meaning of the message and sincerity of the speaker.
