White evangelicals have always been the core of Donald Trump’s support. Once they got over their unease with his fungible approach to morality, conservative Christians found in Trump the political warrior–or mega-bully–that they have long been seeking. The only thing they disliked about him was that he curses.

After acting like a political party through the Trump presidency, it’s no surprise that evangelicals are now following the GOP’s template of purging their ranks of anyone who does not worship at Trump’s altar. The latest case in point: the departure of Russell Moore from the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).

Moore held one of the top positions in evangelical Christianity. As head of the SBC’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, he has been a fervent advocate for the denomination’s right-wing positions. He has been a staunch opponent of LGBTQ rights, especially marriage equality, and has pushed hard for religious liberty exemptions that would gut existing protections.

However, Moore has never been a fan of Donald Trump. Unlike other prominent evangelicals, like Franklin Graham and Tony Perkins, Moore was unwilling to trade his religious beliefs for access to power and Supreme Court appointments.

When Trump was running for president in 2016, Moore accurately described him as “someone who not only characterizes sexual decadence and misogyny, brokers in cruelty and nativism, and displays a crazed public and private temperament — but who glories in these things.”

I'm surprised Moore was still "in the fold." But the SB's are having trouble letting Trump go.

Southern Baptist leaders amplify Trump's lies about election fraud – Baptist News Global

Prominent Southern Baptist leaders were among those taking to social media Dec. 2 to affirm and defend Donald Trump’s 46-minute video in which he repeated blatantly false accusations that the 2020 election was rigged against him and should be overturned.

Not exactly breaking news. But I have some sympathy for them if they see an "assault" on their moral views of transgender folks being able to play sports or whether gay people are different from people who cheat on spouses or drink too much. I don't really agree with them, but ..... live and let live, imo

Pure idiocy. LBGTQ isn't a "nation." It's a "sexual dysfunction."

There are mult stories on Moore being shown the door. But, again, imo the transgender folks lost a bit when the ceased being about not having kids beaten up for being "sissy" or "butch," and instead being able to play girls' sports.

I had no idea there was a Trump pledge of allegiance that people recited?
Learn something new every day. ...

No, but there sure was these Obama song's, and every other idolization of the man when he became president, but Trump was a problem for these Wacko's who quickly forgot all that ??

Why not judge the man Trump on his service to the country, and not expect that he should have represented the church or any other social construct known about in this country ?? That's the problem anymore, where as it's not what the citizen's want in a president, and in a majority as long as it's not against the law, but it's more about catering to specialized groups whom want government to force it's specialized bullcrap down everyone's throats against it's will. Trump tried to work to help all in achieving their economic security, but the social issue's trumped that work, otherwise for those who were attempting to destroy Trump over their social issue's. Everyone lost, because the nation is now in grave danger in regards to the world view of this nation.

Nuclear weapons won't shield us forever, and especially with nation's who are watching, and have the same amount of strike capabilities that we have. No one likes being led by a nation of demonic beings, otherwise if that is how they begin viewing us as.

How would you know? Trumpistas aren’t Christians. They only know hate, while Christ was about love. If this was the Middle Ages, they’d be burned at the stake for idol worship.

It's a lie. The truth of the matter is that crazy angry lefties long for the days when they supported "real" preachers like Jim Jones.

Personally, I have a hard time with any religion that tells someone what they need to believe beyond the very basics of there's a supreme being with a plan that somehow promotes treating people decently. All politicians are people who fail to live up to what they espouse. Preachers too.

Animals, kids and sleeping people are off limits though.

You should pray to have the wisdom to recognize God's will, and the strength to do what you should do.
If someone is simply interested in praying to save their ass ... They kind of missed the point to start with ...

Best thing that could happen to them. The parallel to the mythical messiah is kicking them in the face. Maybe some.of them will wake up.

You always have an excuse to stay ignorant and not read the articles. Every time.

Which part? Be specific. It helps if you actually read the article, which i guarantee you did not do.

They have really screwed around with scripture and introduced futurism and that charlatan Hal Lindsey.. All this work for 80 years to promote Zionism.

Yeah, the literal rapture is bizarre. At least the hindu version of worlds being born and reborn is actually about .... worlds being born and reborn. LOL

It's all good until one partisan side seeks to use religion to promote its own side.

You expect me to take something from a fag site about Trump seriously? You may as well link CNN or MSNBC.
