Evangelicals explain their support for Trump. It's the racism that stands out.

Judgment Days

In a small Alabama town, an evangelical congregation reckons with God, President Trump and the meaning of morality

A few leaders have publicly dissented from such views, aware of the Southern Baptist history of whiffing on the big moral questions of the day — such as during the civil rights era, when most pastors either defended segregation or remained silent. The president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s ethics commission, Russell Moore, asked whether Christians were “really ready to trade unity with our black and brown brothers and sisters for this angry politician?” One prominent black pastor, Lawrence Ware, left the denomination altogether, writing that the widespread reluctance to criticize Trump on racial issues revealed a “deep commitment to white supremacy.” The new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, J.D. Greear, said church culture had “grown too comfortable with power and the dangers that power brings.”

But all those discussions were taking place far from the rank-and-file. The Southern Baptists who filled the pews every Sunday were making their own moral calculations about Trump in the privacy of a thousand church sanctuaries in cities and towns such as Luverne, population 2,700, an hour south of the state capital of Montgomery.

It was a place where it was hard to drive a mile in any direction without passing some church or sign about the wages of sin, where conversations about politics happened in nodding circles before Sunday school, or at the Chicken Shack after, and few people paid attention to some national Southern Baptist leader.

This is a really good read for all those of us who absolutely cannot grasp how people who call themselves people of faith have embraced an obviously unchristian man.

Most of it seems to be a reaction to Obama, and the lies they chose to believe about him. Which - I mean, that's not really any surprise.

What is going to be a surprise is when they get turned away at the pearly gates.

Donald Trump seems the farthest any person with Christian values would support

Unless you’re a hack who hates your country

Always quite humorous when atheist liberals like you try to lecture Christian people about their faith and how they should practice it. ... ...

These people are not Christians, even though they advertise themselves as such. They are an abomination.

Funny how those who reject the Christian God feel comfortable defining what a Christian is. Silly hypocrites!

Or any values at all, for that matter.

May they never attempt to take the high road again. And if they do, we shall laugh and laugh. Oh, the humor.

No decent person takes the high road anymore, liberal progressives have churned it into a goat trail. No group in history has ever done more to kill off high horses, churn up high roads and bring low the high grounds. Then, they want to lecture the rest of us on morality.

 

[ptbw forever]

When the crazy left starts lecturing Americans about "Christian faith" you know they are gone off the deep end.

I'm a Bill Buckley/Ronald Reagan conservative, dipshit. You tards are so far off the conservative reservation it isn't even funny any more.

Trump is leading all of you to the far left cave and you don't even know it. He is a far left New York limousine liberal, and a textbook huckster.

He has you actually cheering his adultery, turning a blind eye to his massive overspending, and approving of his Keynesian economic policy. He has you prostrate before a KGB thug.

And three milliseconds after he announces he is making single payer healthcare his number one domestic agenda item, you will line up to give your approval of that, too.

You all make me sick.

I am sure William Buckley and Ronald Reagan would turn a blind eye as the country erupts from riots and violence almost exclusively from the Democrats.....

Oh wait....

Why evangelicals support Trump

Divorced twice, cheated on three wives
Had child out of wedlock
Compulsive liar
Possibly the least generous billionaire in the US
Egotistical
Unethical business practices

Most Americans get it.
Christians are not welcomed in the Democratic Party unless they check their morals at the door.

When the crazy left starts lecturing Americans about "Christian faith" you know they are gone off the deep end.

But why wouldn't they?? This is a Christian nation, after all. Right? So unfortunate that some of us actually know what the bible says and can pull off a return bludgeon.

Sucks to be you.

Ahhhhh, wait, you're the Holy Spirit?

There is no holy spirit.

Well sure, just ask you.

Bearing false witnesses? Twenty years ago the crazy jack booted left was ripping the Ten Commandments off a court house wall and now the hypocrites lecture us about Christian beliefs? You gotta be kidding. We just saw an unrepentant enabler for forty years of her husband's sexual abuse and a friend of one of H'wood's worst sexual abusers run for president and the crazy angry bigoted left lectures us about adultery.
