Are there any evangelical christians that have a critical assessment of this piece? I'm no longer a part of the church, but a few phrases strike me as strange ("An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad. It is supposed to make you feel guilty."; "The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization."; "Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor,” and a “victimizer.”) I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.

"The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession" - Yes, that seems a bit extreme. (Though I'm Catholic, not "Evangelical" in the sense you mean). Offending people is ok, but I hope the _goal_ isn't to make people feel guilty. :)
