False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

(please log in to view the image)

I know it's a pretty long read, but it's worth the time. It's well written and enlightening. He's clearly writing from his heart. I know most of you won't read it, but I do want to call out Surt. As much time as you spend on here posting nonsense you can find time.

I'll never forget my evangelical sister-in-law, around the time of the 2016 election, the topic of Trump's immorality and boorish manner was brought up (I think because of the famous "grab 'em by the pussy" comment) and she said with an exasperated discomfort something to the effect of: "I'm going to have to vote for him. I have to vote for this guy." Because the poor, persecuted evangelical agenda (a massive lobby holding a large percentage of the votes) bought him because he needed the votes.

Actually saw this on Reddit yesterday.

I'm a Christian, I'm probably voting for him in 2020. Can't exactly call him a saint though.

(Sorry about the thread title. Fu#king glitchy site. I PM'd Imp to fix it.)


My favorite line from the article...

"A form of Christianity that could be co-opted by a political agenda [is] suspect at its core."

I can’t fix the title from my iPhone.

I’ll try again when I get home to my laptop.

If not, you can try to remake the thread.

Agreed.

The Church should not hold governance over how gay people live. And conversely the government should keep it's beak out of the Church (which sidenote I have a lot of respect for Buttigeig for calling out Beto on that shit).

Good luck with that. So many people find their "identities" in said groups and it becomes who they are, no separation hence the spill over (onto) everyone and thing they associate with. wacko

Lol what do you feel you are calling me out for? You're not dumb enough to suggest I worship Trump, so we can dismiss that possibility. You know I'm not an evangelical, so that possibility is also out. So what is it?

EDIT: If you're asking why I think religious people vote for Trump despite his behavior, it's not rocket science. They know he is more likely to pass policies that suit them as opposed to democrats. Abortion is important to them.

Or it's more like "he might be a piece of shit, but he's more on our side when it comes to abortion, etc. than the democrats".

Unless someone can name me the democrat candidate that went out of their way to impress the evangelical crowd...like in any way?

Anyone of them should have impressed them just by not being as big a c*nt as he is, but most evangelicals are easily swayed by false piety and mentions of God.

I stopped hanging out with evangelical friends because I realized they were fake as f*ck and lost causes when anything challenged their beliefs.

Cuz just remember: these people think abortion is murder. Keep that in mind. They literally think democrats approve of the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies *every single year*.

Nobody should be shocked they vote for republicans, even repugnant ones.

They don't say that. They seemingly believe he's a moral and righteous man of God.

Michele Bachmann praises Trump: Americans will 'never see a more godly, biblical president'

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said in a recent interview that she has “never seen a more biblical president” than President Trump.

During her interview with a conservative Christian radio program called “Understanding the Times” over the weekend, Bachmann said, “We could go on what the president has done with standing for righteousness in so many areas.”

Michele Bachmann is a woman... she has a large following.

Rick Perry thinks Trump is God's instrument. Pat Robertson said similar. You go on and dodge though.

Sure there are some crazies. And? You're actually not proving my argument wrong.

But hey I get it, you have a narrative: you wanna talk shit about evangelicals. Go for it, it doesn't bother me I think they're cray cray, but don't act like they'd be better off voting for a democrat thumb up
