    I think it is a great site. They always back up the statements made.

    Obviously you're not on Earth.

    Church attendance is the lowest it's ever been in US history. Personally I don't give a damn since I've known the duplicitous nature of Evangelicals for decades. This only seals it for me, however, they and their crusade of bringing on the apocalypse are the biggest supporters of your orange devil. Of course, I don't expect you to understand this.

    I don't think there is anything left to discuss with Trumpers. They consistently demonstrate how they are more than willing to swallow Trumps cocknbull because they have surrendered all higher brain functions to him and his media empire. Lemmings don't make good pets.

    Had you ever heard of Mark Galli before this narrative started oozing out of MSM and the rest of the Complex?

    If that were true, they wouldn't be listed as a "questionable source."

    Whatever, stick to your far right wing echo chamber. It's what most people do.

    We vote to elect a Commander-in-chief, not a Pastor-in-chief. Christian or non-Christian, we all vote on who we think is best suited for the job, not who is going to teach our children's Sunday school class.
    When you see a physician do you care about how they practice their faith or about their life choices? No, you care that they will save your life and do their job. Also, you don't want just any doctor but, the best to get the job done! That is what American voters did in the 2016 election when we elected President Trump, we believe he is best qualified for the job.

    You were voting for the leader and the figurehead of our nation. You went with the candidate that was the most morally bankrupt, the absolute least Christian type of slime. If you are a devout Christian and you voted for trump in the primaries then you are a hypocrite. Full stop.

    Maybe to children, infantile Leftists, and others who slept through 6th grade civics. For the rest of us though, the POTUS is simply the head of the Executive Branch of our federal government. That's a very powerful office, but in adult land, in the U.S. our lives are far more directly affected by local and state representatives as it should be.

    Yeah, a regular Elagabalus, Nero, or Caligula <yawn>. But thanks for reminding us of the unhinged, Inquisitorial nature of a scary portion of this country with the above hyperbole. Reads like the preface to a witch trial... or an SNL Church Lady skit. Take your pick.

    Oh, and Hillary lost. AWWWWWWWWW!

    We get it, there are 100 different ways to call Trump voters bad people, racist, uneducated, white crackers, deplorable, xenophobic, deniers, flat earthers, misogynists...

    How's that working out for you lot? The witch trial stuff and chest-puffing, the foamy insults? Is it making your lives better? benefiting the country? getting you votes? even self-medicating?

    Trump-ism: A religious cult whose members are most frequently identified by their daily ritual of placing their heads where the sun don’t shine. Non-cult members are referred to as “Trump haters”
    in much the same way that the Christian cult labels non-Christians “heathens”.
    Likewise the Trumpists and the Christians believe non-followers will be condemned to a place called “hell” if they do not except Trumpian doctrine, which is based on what they call “alternative facts”.
    It is not yet clear whether “hell” is an imaginary place or an actual location.
    But both Trumpists and Christians seem to indicate it is somewhere below. Some have theorized
    that the word “hell” may have some connection to the Trumpian head placement ritual described above.

    Trumpery's stark contrast with Christianity is amply underscored by the corporal works of mercy embraced, promoted, and practiced by the latter:

    Shelter the homeless/Welcome the stranger
    Feed the hungry
    Give drink to the thirsty

    Clothe the naked
    Visit the sick
    Visit the imprisoned
    Bury the dead

    Lame. Not only is what trump said true but show a passage in the bible where its said to have no borders or enforce laws. Also everyone is fed, clothed, given healthcare, and due process. At taxpayer expense. So your post is completely wrong.

    Womp womp.

    yeah.

    At least SNL was still a shadow of its former self then in 2016 and not the stale joke it is now.

    Somehow, our LW posters manage to capture all the tiresome, annoying aspects of the Church Lady and none of the funny.

    Some zealots of Trumpery become hysterical whenever their P*ssy Grabber who ruts with bimbos behind the backs of trophy wives's morality is challenged by religious leaders, but it is:

    Yeah. Tell us all about hysterics. LW Irony Universe... yaddayadda



    EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, "bimbos?" "trophy wives?" Tsk tsk. What would Mary Magdalene say? let alone your entire feminist bloc?

    Even if there is no rake there to walk into, they will pull one out of thin air, lay it right down in their path, and ...

    Well first of all, as a Christian I don't judge, I may not agree but I don't judge. I voted for a president that I felt would keep my country safe, and he has. Along with a thriving economy. Next, you're voting for someone to do a job not their personal life, you know like the Democrats said about Clinton. As far as I am concerned he is doing what he was elected to do, like I said previously not voting for a pastor.

    Also come to think of it, name a politician that's not morally bankrupt? I mean really, if we voted on that platform there would be no one to vote for! From a Christian perspective, next to Jesus, we're all morally bankrupt. On that note Merry Christmas!

    Most states are opting to practice Christian morality in defiance of Trumpery.

    “Yes, many Evangelicals are among the holiest and most quietly devoted people out there. Some have bravely resisted the cult. But their leaders have turned Christianity into a political and social identity, not a lived faith, and much of their flock — a staggering 81 percent voted for Trump — has signed on. They have tribalized a religion explicitly built by Jesus as anti-tribal. They have turned to idols — including their blasphemous belief in America as God’s chosen country. They have embraced wealth and nationalism as core goods, two ideas utterly anathema to Christ. They are indifferent to the destruction of the creation they say they believe God made. And because their faith is unmoored but their religious impulse is strong, they seek a replacement for religion. This is why they could suddenly rally to a cult called Trump. He may be the least Christian person in America, but his persona met the religious need their own faiths had ceased to provide. The terrible truth of the last three years is that the fresh appeal of a leader-cult has overwhelmed the fading truths of Christianity.”

    Feeble moral rationalizations aside, Christianity will vanquish Trumpery.

    Hopelessly politicized old White evangelicals are seeing the younger and better-educated reject their Trumpery and return to the spiritual values of their faith.

    Yes, continue the mission! Spread the untruth!

    Prove
    ....... that the republicans are wrong about the democrats and that they have underestimated us as democrats- for we are even worse than they think we are..... even worse by far than we think we are.

    There has never been a more pathetic, pitiful display of moral vacancy than what we are watching the democrats indulge in today.

    Trump thanks you for proving that whatever he might lack, he is vastly superior to the alternatives.

    The hyperbolic hyper-partisan hysteria aside, younger, better-educated white evangelicals are also disinclined to accept the dubious tenet of Trumpery that anthropogenic climate change is a Chinese hoax. Stewardship of the planet is an essential component of their moral commitment.

    First off, just because you failed to understand or even address my point doesn't mean it's feeble. The articles you cited really prove no fault on the President or were completely biased, sending the BS meter off the charts as a lot of media outlets have done.

    What better educated younger people are you referencing by the way? The one's eating Tide Pods or snorting condoms up their nose on social media as a challenge? Or the Havard law students that needed cry rooms because they couldn't handle the results of an election? Or is it the 68% of people that were surveyed that can't name the three branches of government? In 1990 the US was ranked sixth in the world for education, now we're 27th. That's not speaking well for this "better educated" group you are referencing as a point of validating your argument.
