You are Amish

From JollyBlogger

My best translation of what he is getting at goes like this. Evangelicals really talk only to other evangelicals and not to the broader world. I don't think he said this, but I would add that we talk "at" the broader world. In talking to ourselves though, we assume that we are talking to the world around us and that they hear us and understand us the way we understand ourselves.

However, what we don't realize is this - we seem to the world around us as the Amish of Lancaster, PA seem like to us.

This is not to cast aspersion on the Amish, it is a comment on our self-perception and our perception of the way the rest of the world perceives us. We are as odd to the world outside of evangelicalism as the Amish are to us.
