Can any man or woman support the fake religious organization known as ‘Evangelicals?’ They have continued to support the two most immoral men in the history of American politics fearing that a Democrat might challenge their profits as they con believers. This invokes multiple considerations about religions and their relationship to government.
Before I continue this discussion, let’s pretend that the subjects were Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama. Think about the Republican Party and the Christian religious right’s response to these facts.
The actual culprits of this article are of course Donald Trump and Roy Moore. The extremist group which includes evangelicals known as the ‘Christian religious right’ has supported Trump and child molester Roy Moore without reservation. They ignore the fact that they are self-admitted sexual predators, and the accusations of 25 women who have accused Trump of sexual assault and more than a dozen have accused Moore of similar actions. Now they have “forgiven” Trump for long term affairs with at least two women who are adult film stars. Now, remember that I asked you to consider the reaction to these charges if they were directed at Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama. What do you think the reaction might have been from these fake Christians?
Tony Perkins is the president of the Family Research Council, a prominent evangelical activist group. He is fully aware of Trump’s lifetime of sexual depravity and other immoral actions.
This was his response.
“We kind of gave him—‘All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here,’” Perkins told me in an interview for the latest episode of POLITICO’s Off Message podcast.
Really? Clinton got a blowjob in the White House and this was the end of the world for evangelicals. Former Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, had an affair with a woman in Argentina, and he was later elected to the House. Dennis Hastert sexually abused young men, and evangelicals ignored the fact.
If you know anything about me, you know that I reject all organized religion; and this is why. I will never accept the instructions or demands of another man who stands behind a pulpit. He is no more spiritual than I am spiritual. I have a conscience and a large moral compass. I have principles and I follow them. What I am not is a man who seeks wealth from the donations of those I have conned into believing that I am a great leader of men.
I denounce hypocrisy, and Christian leaders are the worst.
