Faith based lunacy.

TWEET ME

"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."~Matthew 15:8 ~ 


I'm sorry, but these white Christian evangelicals are not driven by love of Christ, they are driven by something else. Their love for all of Mr. trump's policies prove this.

I read a fascinating article by Peter Wehner about this issue, and I want to share it with you:

  "Last week, Ralph Reed, the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s founder and chairman, told the group, “There has never been anyone who has defended us and who has fought for us, who we have loved more than Donald J. Trump. No one!”

Reed is partially right; for many evangelical Christians, there is no political figure whom they have loved more than Donald Trump.

I recently exchanged emails with a pro-Trump figure who attended the president’s reelection rally in Orlando, Florida, on June 18. (He spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, so as to avoid personal or professional repercussions.) He had interviewed scores of people, many of them evangelical Christians. “I have never witnessed the kind of excitement and enthusiasm for a political figure in my life,” he told me. “I honestly couldn’t believe the unwavering support they have. And to a person, it was all about ‘the fight.’ There is a very strong sense (I believe justified, you disagree) that he has been wronged. Wronged by Mueller, wronged by the media, wronged by the anti-Trump forces. A passionate belief that he never gets credit for anything.”

The rallygoers, he said, told him that Trump’s era “is spiritually driven.” When I asked whether he meant by this that Trump’s supporters believe God’s hand is on Trump, this moment and at the election—that Donald Trump is God’s man, in effect—he told me, “Yes—a number of people said they believe there is no other way to explain his victories. Starting with the election and continuing with the conclusion of the Mueller report. Many said God has chosen him and is protecting him.”

The data seem to bear this out. Approval for President Trump among white evangelical Protestants is 25 points higher than the national average. And according to a Pew Research Center survey, “White evangelical Protestants who regularly attend church (that is, once a week or more) approve of Trump at rates matching or exceeding those of white evangelicals who attend church less often.” Indeed, during the period from July 2018 to January 2019, 70 percent of white evangelicals who attend church at least once a week approved of Trump, versus 65 percent of those who attend religious services less often.

The enthusiastic, uncritical embrace of President Trump by white evangelicals is among the most mind-blowing developments of the Trump era. How can a group that for decades—and especially during the Bill Clinton presidency—insisted that character counts and that personal integrity is an essential component of presidential leadership not only turn a blind eye to the ethical and moral transgressions of Donald Trump, but also constantly defend him? Why are those who have been on the vanguard of “family values” so eager to give a man with a sordid personal and sexual history a mulligan?

Part of the answer is their belief that they are engaged in an existential struggle against a wicked enemy—not Russia, not North Korea, not Iran, but rather American liberals and the left. If you listen to Trump supporters who are evangelical (and non-evangelicals, like the radio talk-show host Mark Levin), you will hear adjectives applied to those on the left that could easily be used to describe a Stalinist regime. (Ask yourself how many evangelicals have publicly criticized Trump for his lavish praise of Kim Jong Un, the leader of perhaps the most savage regime in the world and the worst persecutor of Christians in the world.)

Many white evangelical Christians, then, are deeply fearful of what a Trump loss would mean for America, American culture, and American Christianity. If a Democrat is elected president, they believe, it might all come crashing down around us. During the 2016 election, for example, the influential evangelical author and radio talk-show host Eric Metaxas said, “In all of our years, we faced all kinds of struggles. The only time we faced an existential struggle like this was in the Civil War and in the Revolution when the nation began … We are on the verge of losing it as we could have lost it in the Civil War.” A friend of mine described that outlook to me this way: “It’s the Flight 93 election. FOREVER.”

Many evangelical Christians are also filled with grievances and resentments because they feel they have been mocked, scorned, and dishonored by the elite culture over the years. (Some of those feelings are understandable and warranted.) For them, Trump is a man who will not only push their agenda on issues such as the courts and abortion; he will be ruthless against those they view as threats to all they know and love. For a growing number of evangelicals, Trump’s dehumanizing tactics and cruelty aren’t a bug; they are a feature. Trump “owns the libs,” and they love it. He’ll bring a Glock to a cultural knife fight, and they relish that.

Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, one of the largest Christian universities in the world, put it this way: “Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing ‘nice guys.’ They might make great Christian leaders but the United States needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps & many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!”

There’s a very high cost to our politics for celebrating the Trump style, but what is most personally painful to me as a person of the Christian faith is the cost to the Christian witness. Nonchalantly jettisoning the ethic of Jesus in favor of a political leader who embraces the ethic of Thrasymachus and Nietzsche—might makes right, the strong should rule over the weak, justice has no intrinsic worth, moral values are socially constructed and subjective—is troubling enough.

But there is also the undeniable hypocrisy of people who once made moral character, and especially sexual fidelity, central to their political calculus and who are now embracing a man of boundless corruptions. Don’t forget: Trump was essentially named an unindicted co-conspirator (“Individual 1”) in a scheme to make hush-money payments to a porn star who alleged she’d had an affair with him while he was married to his third wife, who had just given birth to their son.

While on the Pacific Coast last week, I had lunch with Karel Coppock, whom I have known for many years and who has played an important role in my Christian pilgrimage. In speaking about the widespread, reflexive evangelical support for the president, Coppock—who is theologically orthodox and generally sympathetic to conservatism—lamented the effect this moral freak show is having, especially on the younger generation. With unusual passion, he told me, “We’re losing an entire generation. They’re just gone. It’s one of the worst things to happen to the Church.”

Coppock mentioned to me the powerful example of St. Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, who was willing to rebuke the Roman Emperor Theodosius for the latter’s role in massacring civilians as punishment for the murder of one of his generals. Ambrose refused to allow the Church to become a political prop, despite concerns that doing so might endanger him. Ambrose spoke truth to power. (Theodosius ended up seeking penance, and Ambrose went on to teach, convert, and baptize St. Augustine.) Proximity to power is fine for Christians, Coppock told me, but only so long as it does not corrupt their moral sense, only so long as they don’t allow their faith to become politically weaponized. Yet that is precisely what’s happening today.

Evangelical Christians need another model for cultural and political engagement, and one of the best I am aware of has been articulated by the artist Makoto Fujimura, who speaks about “culture care” instead of “culture war.” [More here] 

Just think about this for a minute: These so called Christians declare that there is no man that they love more than a man who has been accused of raping a 13 year old girl, cheated on his third wife with a porn star --right after she gave birth to his son---, and publicly bragged about assaulting women.  

"Jesus wept"~John 11:35~

    Kind of the same way that the media talks about problems in congress without mentioning the Republican party.

    That's the problem I have with conservatives and Evangelicals, they do not believe in sharing or compromise. It's all or nothing. Very troubling. I recall having a conversation with a conservative about that one judicial nominee that just finished law school and had no courtroom experience which seemed weird that such a unqualified person would be nominated for such an important position. The person replied that they weren't concerned because he was conservative. Just wow, they don't want fair and qualified judges but conservatives. No concern that not everyone is conservative or want a conservative country but they want to ram their views down everyones' throats. Now they'll claim it's libs who want to impose our views but I disagree, we want everyone to live their lives however they choose.

  17. So the citizenship question on the census is toast. Perhaps one of his trusted advisors explained to Fergus that an EO doesn't supersede a supreme court decision and federal judges get really cranky when you lie to them about what you are trying to do.
    Or maybe he just got bored and decided to try something else, like obtaining citizenship data elsewhere and trying to reapportion based on that, setting the stage for a crosscheck-magnitude clusterfuck.
    Either way, look for him to throw an epic, if unrelated fit, like he always does when he can't get his way.

    The Washington Post gets a huge scoop from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, admitting that the New Green Deal is actually just a Trojan Horse for socialism, and the Washington Post, gets this, buries it and has no particular questions about it, apart from a look of surprise that it was admitted at all.

    Chakrabarti had an unexpected disclosure. "The interesting thing about the Green New Deal," he said, "is it wasn't originally a climate thing at all." Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?" Chakrabarti continued. "Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."

    No one fears information but if you live in a blended family, some citizens some not, you don't want to bring unwanted scrutiny on your family. This is very prevalent in Texas, Cali, Florida and NY. Truth is trump is trying to terrorize people of color and appease his racist base. Even the SC spanked him because they know what he's up to.

    Blackness is defined solely in terms of taking from whites. Blackness sees immigration as the means by which America is taken from whites. So blacks will support it, even if it harms them.
    ----------------

    It would be very much in the interests of black Americans to have a stronger sense of American nativism. The scarcity value of First World citizenship is a huge asset for them.

    But blacks consistently side with post-America. It’s a big mistake, but it’s theirs to make.

    Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America :

    1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
    2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
    3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
    4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
    5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about.
    6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - Yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

    1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

    Yes. And?

    2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

    They are victimized. If they weren’t being victimized (via shamefully low pay from their greedy employers), it wouldn’t be necessary for so many of them to be subsidized so much.

    3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

    No. It is your delusion that the government serves the poor. But the government mainly serves the interests of the rich. You just resent the fact that the poor have any input AT ALL in a democracy.

    4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

    No. The government does not serve the poor. See #3.

    5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about.

    Your logic is that poor people should be happy being poor because there are others who are even poorer? You go live in the projects and then come back and tell us how it was just great because you know people are starving in Bangladesh.

    Come the fuck on.

    6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - Yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

    No. Again, this is your paranoid fantasy.

    Hope this clears things up.

    Maybe, but you didn't mention how American corporations are subsidized to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. You didn't mention all the tax loopholes the wealthy have paid politicians to enact. You didn't mention the way banks and hedge-fund managers screw us out of billions of dollars. Unfettered capitalism is a clusterfuck.

    It's not in the interest of any American - black, white or any other group -to have a strong sense of nativism. Nativism is divisive, unproductive, and brings out the worst in people. Nothing good ever comes from classifying people as "the other" to promote oneself or one's country.

    “It's not in the interest of any American - black, white or any other group -to have a strong sense of nativism. Nativism is divisive, unproductive, and brings out the worst in people.”

    No worries, though. The trolls on this blog aren’t nativists; they’re racists. They’d roll out the red carpet for any white illegal immigrants.

    In fact, the whole bitch and moan about illegal immigrants is a ruse. They hate the legal immigrants, too, if they’re brown.

    I wish that the discussion we were having in this country were just about nativism, because that would mean there was some element of rationality to it, that it was at least loosely tied to economics arguments, even bad ones. But a lot of it isn’t. It’s just hate. It’s ranting about Mexican rapists and spewing garbage about foreigners who “won’t integrate.” You can’t easily have a grown-up debate with people with fucked-up beliefs like that.

    "Self fulfilling prophesies" fulfilled themselves how, now?  What happened to YOUR prophecy that we'd all hold hands and sing kumbaya?  Why didn't that one fulfill itself?

    Sane people call it "judgement based on experience".  In this case, centuries of experience.

    who go out of their way to make POC look bad just t9o say, "I told you so."

    Somehow I don't think Kerry Charley got himself shot dead trying to get paid for fixing a "yoots" BMW in order to make the "yoot" look bad.

    Just how did Kerry Charley make Isaiah Gholson carry a gun to pick up his car, Mikey?  How did Kerry Charley make Isaiah Gholson try to steal services instead of just paying for them?  Answer that, if you can.

    No, we don't want it. You are welcome to keep all your churches. Just stop trying to get your religious beliefs made into law. We believe as the founding fathers did that church and state should be separate.

    Past History has shown that when church and state are not separate, really bad things happen, such as beheading, hanging, burning at the stake and crucifixion, to name a few.
