    It doesn’t matter how awful he is. They only see that he’s a great tool for creating a white evangelical theocracy. They’d act this way for Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Dahmer, or (insert awful person here).

    Funny how they don’t even see the whole golden calf, false idol aspect of this.

    the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) a growing charismatic movement led by a loose network of apostles and prophets who believe Christians are called to take over the government.

    That’s wonderful. And the article only gets worse from there.

      I always thought a theocratic dictatorship sounded “charming”.

      The guy is famous for raping a pornstar while married. It would certainly be easy to not do such a thing and then tell people you’re pious. But the guy is practically screaming at his followers that he’s satan himself and they still want to believe the lie…

      Yeah. It’s the kind of headline that I want to shock me, but it’s just becoming a dreadful background noise.

        Remember when Trump had daily Covid announcements or when he was still on Twitter? Pretty much everything he did or said was so absurd that cracking jokes about it became a serious challenge. How do you come up with a fictional scenario that is more over the top than actual reality.

    Don’t they remember what is said in the Ten Commandments? “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."

    Of course if they are the megachurch type of Christians, their only real god is money.

      That is not true. I know some really good people that happen to be Christian as well. It’s just that these are two different things and most do either belong to the one or the other group.

    So weird. Christian nationalism isn’t the thing I fear most in American politics, but as a Christian myself I definitely hate it more than anything else in the American political landscape.
