Evangelicals Don’t Care If Trump Knew Stormy “In The Biblical Sense”

By Leave a Comment

Evangelicals used to stand for something …“family values” and good old-fashioned “Christian morality.” Nowadays, not so much.

Their full-throttled support of the sexual deviant currently occupying the White House has taken care of all that. If anything, evangelicalism is today more aptly associated with good old-fashioned hypocrisy.

Evangelicals don’t care about Stormy Daniels, or Karen McDougal, or any other woman Donald Trump may have had an extramarital affair with.

Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, recently revealed six other women claiming to have had sex with Donald Trump have contacted him.

Yet none of this seems to bother all those self-proclaimed pious conservative Christians who expressed righteous indignation over the dalliances of another White House inhabitant, one William Jefferson Clinton.

To be fair, some prominent evangelical leaders have admitted they are no longer tied to a specific set of doctrinal beliefs.

Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, has made it clear that American evangelicalism is no longer about doctrine, at least not as much as it is about politics.

Evangelical Christians, said Perkins in an interview with Politico, “were tired of being kicked around by Barack Obama and his leftists. And I think they are finally glad that there’s somebody on the playground that is willing to punch the bully.” Perkins added, “Look, Christianity is not all about being a welcome mat which people can just stomp their feet on.”

The jig is up folks. Evangelicals are all about power and revenge. They do not care who their champion is or what he’s done as long as he can lead them to their earthly Promised Land.

The irony, of course, is that Trump is probably the least religious person you’ll ever find.

Trump is a user of people. He is a user of women. He is a user of the self-pitying religious right who now feel more empowered to push their beliefs and Stone Age agenda on the rest of the country.

Moore Will Concede … When God Tells Him To

By 3 Comments

Two days after having lost the Alabama special election, Republican Roy Moore has yet to concede.

On election night, Moore stated that “when the vote is this close, that it’s not over.” He added he would “wait on God and let this process play out.”

True to form, Moore is letting everyone know whom he answers to. It is not the people of Alabama or their manmade laws. It is the word of the Almighty.

Asked it he would concede after Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill certifies the final vote count, Moore answered in a way that surely will please his Christian conservative base, “Hell no!”

“I get my marching orders from God. Until he tells me to do something, I will wait. He hasn’t told me to throw in the towel yet. I know one thing, God works in mysterious ways,“ said Moore.

Democrat Doug Jones, the newly elected Senator from Alabama, said there was “no doubt” in his mind about the election results. He said Moore would “do well to go ahead and let’s get this behind us.”

Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, told CNN’s “New Day” yesterday morning that she has the “utmost confidence” Jones “won outright.” She suggested Moore’s refusal to concede was a publicity stunt.

“I’m not sure what his posturing is about, other than it keeps him in the limelight and it keeps him relevant for another week,” Sewell said.

Asked when and how he receives God’s word, Moore answered that the Heavenly Father speaks to him in his sleep, adding new meaning to the phrase “I’ll sleep on it.”

Taking a page from Donald Trump’s playbook, Moore plans to hold a rally in deeply conservative Jefferson County later today.

Yes, God told him to.

“Look,” said Moore, “there’s a saying that it ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings. To a Christian, it ain’t over until God pulls the plug.”
