White Evangelicals Have Created a God in Their Own Image and He Is a Monster from the Pit of Hell

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Genesis 1:27

This Bible verse states that God created human beings in his own image. Actually, the opposite is true: Human beings create God in their own image.

The Bible is not a single tome, but a library of 66 books written by dozens of writers over a span of 1,500 years.

The Old Testament depicts a vengeful tribal deity who orders his chosen people, the ancient Israelites, to commit genocide and enslave their enemies.

The New Testament paints a more benign portrait of the Almighty as a deity who became man to save us from our sins. The Jesus of the Gospels preached a message of love and forgiveness, and He ministered to the downtrodden and oppressed.

The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words, and a person can cherry pick verses from this plethora of material to create a God after his own heart.

White evangelicals mine the Old Testament for scriptures that demonize gays and lesbians, treat women as second-class citizens and posits a theocracy as the best form of government. Their Supreme Being is an omnipotent jerk and in their version of paradise, St. Peter is the gatekeeper who lets in only white Christian evangelicals.

Evangelicals like Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson and Robert Jeffress have created a God in their own venial image. They and their judgmental, xenophobic, homophobic and misogynist Republican Jesus can fuck off.

Evangelicals Torment Airplane Passengers with On-board Cabin-wide Singing

“A video shows a packed flight with a good handful of passengers singing what appear to be Christian songs to the rest of the cabin … jamming out on a guitar and walking up and down the aisle in high spirits. Some of the passengers, however, are clearly uncomfortable and displeased.

The Raw Story

Imagine, after your patience has been destroyed by waiting in a long line at the airport check-in line, your dignity has been diminished by a TSA gestapo agent administering an overzealous pat-down, and your wallet has been drained at an airport restaurant you finally plop down on your airplane seat and begin to decompress.

When inconsiderate assholes, otherwise known as evangelical Christians, begin to sing praise songs to the rest of the cabin. The video at the bottom of this article clearly shows that some of the passengers were displeased, disheartened and dismayed.

If Christians chartered a flight, they could pray in tongues, roll down the aisles, sing praise songs, and do whatever else they wanted. But this was a public flight, and these evangelicals were out of pocket.

Some theologians opine that elevator music will be blared in hell to add to the torment of burning forever, but I think the devious devil will play praise music.

If I was on a flight and some of the passengers walked up and down the aisle singing praise songs, I hope I would have the patience to endure the torture and file a lawsuit as soon as the plane touched down.

But I’m afraid I would probably try to open the plane’s emergency exit door or choke the nearest singing evangelical.

Now we know what’s worse than snakes on a motherfucking plane!

QAnon/Evangelical Charlatan Pastor Greg Locke Rebukes Evil Spirits of Homosexuality, Lesbianism and Molestation

Recently QAnon/Evangelical pastor Greg Locke held a meeting in his circus like tent where he frenetically paced the stage, and howled: “Spirit of molestation, spirit of abuse, get out now.” His wife chimed in: “Every spirit of homosexuality, lesbianism come out, come out. Transgenderism, gender dysphoria, come out.”

This type of buffoonery, corruption of the Gospel message and venomous hatred spewed at racial, sexual and religious minorities isn’t new to evangelicalism.

In prior generations this type of vitriol was confined, for the most part, to tiny congregations of inbred hillbillies in the Appalachian Mountains. But Locke’s meetings are live streamed online and viewed my millions.

Blatant racism, acceptance of wild conspiracy theories, xenophobia and homophobia have become more mainstream than ever before in the white evangelical movement.

According to the Stamford Advocate some parishioners “fell to the ground, pawing at cedar chips, or wretched into silver vomit buckets that had been set at the end of each row of white folding chairs.”

If you attend a church service where worshippers are speaking in tongues, rolling around in the floor and howling like monkeys, there’s something rotten in Demark. If a church feels the necessity to provide silver vomit buckets for their members, you’re not in Kansas anymore.

It’s an indictment of our educational system that in the 21st century there are so many people who believe there are witches who have the power to cast spells, and legions of demons who are possessing hapless souls left and right.

What we really need to do is cast out the spirits of racism, ignorance, homophobia, Islamophobia.

In mainline Protestant churches where gays and lesbians are loved, embraced and accepted as equals you will find none of this ignorance and nonsense.

Locke and his ilk are possessed with the evil spirits of ignorance, racism and homophobia and they need to be banished from polite society.

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, a New Evangelical Church Opens Every Week

“Data from Pindograma, a data journalism site, shows that over the last decade, every six days São Paulo city has had a new evangelical church. The data points to their expansion in poor neighbourhoods, accompanied by an increase in the political participation of followers and pastors.”

GlobalVoices.Org

This is a phenomenal rate of expansion, but perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised at the alarming infestation of churches in a city named after the Apostle Paul.

The evangelical movement in Brazil is just as reactionary and anti-science as it is in the United States. Evangelicalism is a global menace and it’s an indictment of American democracy that we export this pernicious Christian philosophy all over the world.

It’s distressing that evangelicalism has been making inroads in poor neighborhoods, the “pie in the sky” mentality discourages poor people from using political means to improve their lives since they are promised mansions in heaven.

Imagine if every six days a new medical clinic, library or school opened in Sao Paulo instead of a tax-exempt evangelical church.

Evangelicalism is an existential threat to democracy and freedom worldwide, and we must destroy it in America to keep it from infecting the rest of the world.

White Evangelicals Should Go Through Deconstruction and Come Out on the Other Side as Exvangelicals

Evangelicalism has gone so far off the rails that it’s led many thoughtful evangelicals to examine their faith to see if they should leave the fold.

When the focus of evangelicalism shifts from evangelizing (preaching the Good News that Jesus saves) to an obsession with fringe beliefs it becomes incumbent upon evangelicals to take stock of where they stand in relation to spirituality, morality and common decency.

Treating a sociopath like Donald Trump as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, believing that a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles runs the world, and demonizing Muslims and other religious minorities has more in common with weird cults than with orthodox Christianity.

Evangelicals who are so sickened by the racism, misogyny, homophobia and outright craziness that permeates their faith that they abandon evangelicalism to become orthodox Christians, mainline Protestants or even atheists and agnostics are referred to as exvangelicals, and the process that they went through is referred to as deconstruction.

I urge every evangelical to go through the process of deconstruction, it doesn’t matter if you come out on the other side as a mainline Protestant, Catholic, atheist or agnostic, you will become a better person and more Christ-like.

White Evangelical Leaders Make Pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to Kiss Trump’s Butt

Mar-a-Lago is the spiritual center, the Mecca of the Republican Party and most GOP candidates who are running in the mid-term elections have made a pilgrimage to Trump’s opulent mansion to kiss his ring and hopefully walk away with his endorsement.

Almost every politician needs Trump’s endorsement, but as the undisputed leader of his party, and thanks to the undying devotion and loyalty of his base he doesn’t need the affirmation of any subordinate, and he considers every Republican politician his inferior.

However, Trump can’t survive without the endorsement of white evangelical leaders; he needs them more than they need him. He caters to his evangelical base by using a Bible as a phot-op prop, occasionally attending an evangelical megachurch and sprinkling a few “God Bless America” in his speeches.

Last Friday Trump summoned a few of the usual evangelical suspects (Paula White, James Dobson, Ralph Reed, Jack Graham) to Mar-a-Lago to keep them in his good graces.

In private conversations with his kind of people (businessmen, celebrities, billionaires) he mocks evangelicals, he loathes their stupidity and gullibility.

But Trump realizes his needs the useful idiots and he tolerates their company.

I’m eagerly anticipating the inevitable nasty divorce when Trump loses in 2024 and no longer needs the disgusting evangelicals.

Evangelicals Weren’t Duped by Trump! The Racist, Homophobic Moron is an Answer to Their Prayers

“I think people think evangelicals have been duped by President Trump. Evangelicals are not morons. They understand that he might not pray six hours a day or be able to quote the Bible backward and forward but they do believe he’s a man who loves our country and he’s embraced policies that are in keeping with the truth of God’s word and that’s why they selected him.”

Televangelist Robert Jeffress

Robert Jeffress is correct in stating that evangelicals haven’t been duped by former President Donald Trump, but that isn’t proof that evangelicals are not morons.  

They are morons, science-denying, Kool-Aid swallowing, conspiracy believing morons.

They weren’t duped by Trump, they knew exactly what they were getting: a moral degenerate who shares their racist, xenophobic, homophobic and misogynist views.

They realize that he’s probably never read a single page of the Bible, and attends church only on Christmas and Easter. Although if Trump knew that the Old Testament was chockful of incest, rape, murder, genocide and adultery, he might be tempted to crack it open every once in a while.

Evangelicals knew exactly what they were getting in Trump: a sociopath messiah for a heartless age who is on a mission from God to establish a Christian white nationalist regime.

Trump embraces policies that are in keeping with the white nationalist Republican Party, and he is the perfect messiah for white evangelicals, and the perfect presidential candidate for Republicans.

White Evangelicals Love Dictators, Racists, and Conspiracy Theorists

“Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.”

What this proverb means is that your friends are a reflection of who you are. You tend to associate with people who share similar views and outlook on life.

The individuals that you look up to are also a solid indication of your character, or lack thereof.

White evangelicals stan some very shady characters, revealing that they are lovers of moral degenerates more than they are followers of Jesus Christ.

Donald Trump is the most vulgar, ignorant, petty, authoritarian and vicious president in American history, and yet evangelicals treat him like the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Vladimir Putin is a dictator who has committed genocide against Syrians, Chechens and now Ukrainians, and yet he enjoys the praise of many evangelicals who view him as a Christian leader who is a steadfast warrior against the sin of homosexuality. Some evangelicals even believe that the reason he invaded Ukraine was to free the country from pedophiles. Franklin Graham praised Putin effusively and called Russia’s standard on morality “higher than our own.”

Besides being lovers of the execrable Trump and Putin, evangelicals pal around with white nationalists, QAnon cultists, and garden variety racists.

If you are friends with white evangelicals, kindly stay the hell away from me.

Evangelicals Have an Orgasm Whenever There’s a War

“An American Evangelical pastor has claimed that the invasion of Ukraine is a sign from God that Jesus is returning.

Pastor Greg Laurie is a pastor at the Harvest Christian Fellowship church in California and made his views known in a clip posted on Facebook, captioned: “Is there any prophetic significance to what is happening in Ukraine right now and other events that are unfolding around the world? The answer is. . Yes!”

Indy100.Com

When war breaks out normal folks bemoan humankind’s inability to resolve their conflicts via diplomacy, but evangelicals cream their pants in ecstasy whenever a major conflict breaks out.

Read my essay about how Pat Robertson, the 91-year-old televangelist who looks like he’s been dead for years, suddenly became animated when Russia invaded Ukraine

Pat Robertson the Evangelical Crypt Keeper Says Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy

Laurie quoted scripture saying, “In the last days there’ll be wars and rumors of wars” as an explanation as to why he believes that we are living in the last days.

Since the days of Cain and Able people have resorted to violence to resolve their disputes. There have always been wars and rumors of wars. There has never been an era is human history that was devoid of wars. To be human is to eat, fuck and kill.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine isn’t a sign of the End Times, it’s business as usual for humans who are ruled by their base emotions, ridiculous religious dogma and conspiracy theories.

Evangelicals need to untwist their panties, put down their Bibles and get on the right side of history by supporting the people of Ukraine.

Evangelicals Have Shown Their True Colors, They Love Putin and Dictatorships More Than They Love Jesus and Democracy

I became an evangelical in the 1970’s and at that time the major tenets of evangelicalism were the belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the conviction that the Soviet Union, and later Russia, was anti-American, anti-Christ and an existential threat to democracy and Christianity.

Russia played a major role in evangelical eschatology; Russia and the anti-Christ would battle with Jesus and his angels in the final battle of Armageddon.

Republican politicians demonized liberals as commie-loving traitors who were undermining democracy.

How things have changed, the script flipped during the dictator-loving Trump administration. Republicans and many evangelicals laud the homophobic Vladimir Putin as a patriotic leader who is fighting for the survival of Christian values.

At this crucial juncture in history when Putin has invaded Ukraine and the fate of Eastern Europe hangs in the balance, Republicans and white evangelicals are heaping praise on the courage and genius of Putin.

Evangelicals have shown their true colors, they value white authoritarian regimes more than democracy and freedom.

White Evangelicals Double Down on Crazy

Evangelicalism has crazy baked in the cake, when you profess to believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God you are constrained to accept as literal truths such crazy notions like millions of animal species fitting into an ark, a donkey talking to a prophet, and the sun standing still for an entire day.

American evangelicals are masters at compartmentalizing, they keep the crazy stuff for Sunday morning, but live in the real world the rest of the week.

Until fairly recently that is, now white evangelicals are doubling down on crazy, and their default mode is crazy not just on Sunday, but every day of the week.

This unfortunate development can be attributed to the fact that they have rejected the kind, rational and peaceful Jesus Christ for their stark raving mad new messiah, Donald Trump.

You want examples of crazy: Evangelical ministers preaching that COVID-19 is a hoax, and fighting against masks and vaccine mandates.  Prophets declaring that Trump won the 2020 election, and calling for a military coup to reinstall their savior. Rank and file evangelicals accepting as Gospel truth crazy QAnon conspiracy theories.

Cult members strive to be like their Dear Leader, and when Donald Trump is your Lord and Master you really have to amp up the craziness.

If America is to survive a secular democracy, we must flush Trump and his crazy followers down the toilet.

White Evangelicals Should Stop Calling Themselves ‘Christians’! Satanists Are More Christ-Like Than They Are

I became an evangelical Christian in the late 1970’s and at that time evangelicalism was synonymous with spreading the Good News that Jesus saves. Being a good evangelical Christian meant attending church on Sunday, and trying to shun worldly attractions the rest of the week. We truly lived by the motto “WWJD”? We would ask ourselves “What would Jesus Do” before deciding what movies to watch, what books to read, what social activities to attend, what radio stations to listen to, and even what clothes to wear. In short, the evangelical experience was all about Jesus.

Now? Not so much. Evangelicals still claim to follow Jesus, but truth be told, they really don’t give a fuck about Jesus anymore. At least not by judging what they spend all their time doing:

Researching conspiracy theories online, attending MAGA rallies that glorify their new Messiah, Donald Trump. Spreading the Big Lie that Trump won the election. Demonizing gays and lesbians, and hating on racial and religious minorities. Disseminating anti-vaccine pseudoscience and spreading the virus by refusing to mask up, social distance and getting vaccinated.

If evangelicals had a shred of integrity, they would stop calling themselves Christians, if you want to associate with people who are really Christ-like I suggest you attend a Church of Satan, an anti-war rally or a pro-choice demonstration.

Outrage: Students Forced to Attend Religious Revival at a Public School

“Students at a West Virginia high school staged a walkout Wednesday morning after some students were reportedly forced to go to a religious revival event at school.

The walkout came after the event, which was organized and led by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, invited Nik Walker Ministries to speak. A district spokesperson said the event was meant to be voluntary, but two teachers “made a mistake and took the entire class to the assembly.”

The spokesperson said the teachers have been ‘corrected,’ and the district doesn’t expect it to happen again.”

12WBOY

Evangelical Christianity has thoroughly corrupted the political process, evangelical Republican congressional leaders are the leading insurrectionists and they pose an existential threat to our democracy.

We must now allow evangelicals to make any inroads into our public schools, and it’s an affront to the sacred principle of separation of church and state that students were forced to attend a religious revival at school.

The religious event was held during a free-time period, how sad that during a free time when students should be relaxing and unwinding, they were instead indoctrinated to a hateful religion.

According to the Associated Press the students were asked to “give their lives over to Jesus to find purpose and salvation.” Those who did not follow the Bible would go to hell when they died, they were told.

The teachers who “made a mistake and took the entire class to the religious revival” and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes should be sued.

I applaud the students who staged a walkout, their courage should embolden us to fight back against evangelicals wherever we encounter them, whether it’s in the educational or political realms.

Televangelist Alph Lukau Sets Dubious Record With 1.4 Million of His Followers Fasting Globally

“Pastor Alph Lukau positions to create a World Evangelical record with over 1.4 million followers fasting globally.

The 40 days of fasting began on Sunday the 16 of January 2022 until the 24th of February 2022. This 40 days period is a time for spiritual upliftment, strength, and prayers. And it is a solemn religious observance commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, before beginning his public ministry.

‘We fast for 40 days annually for spiritual empowerment and prophetic alignment at the start of every year. Many great figures in the Bible fasted for 40 days like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus himself,’ stated the Pastor.”

pronewsreport.com

Pastor Alph Lukau is relatively unknown in the American evangelical community, but the South African pastor and televangelist has millions of followers in Africa and Europe.

Over a million of his followers in Africa and Europe have joined his fast, this may prove his popularity but this publicity stunt has no religious or theological significance.

I would argue that a million souls participating in circle jerks would have a more positive impact on the world. After participating in a circle jerk a person is energized and refreshed and ready to save the world, while after a month-long fast a person is too depleted and weak to do anything more strenuous that lifting a spoon of soup to his mouth.

A 40-day fast is a physically and spiritually dubious endeavor, and it’s the epitome of self-indulgence. South Africa is a cesspool of poverty, crime and disease, a self-aware third-world Christian leader would undertake a 40-day campaign to feed, clothe and shelter the poor instead of a ridiculous and pointless fast.

The Depravity of Evangelicals Has Turned Protestants, Catholics & Adherents of Other Faiths Away from Religion

The hostile takeover of Protestant Christianity in America by the Religious Right is now complete, to the point where the evangelical movement is synonymous with Trump’s GOP.

Evangelicals like Jerry Falwell Sr. and Pat Robertson were John the Baptist, preparing their cult-like followers for the new messiah, Donald Trump. The Reality TV personality embodies and encapsulates the essence of the 21st Christian: a mercenary for Christ determined to remake our democracy as a Christian theocracy, by any means necessary.

Donald Trump lost in an electoral college and popular vote landslide to Joe Biden in a free and fair election, no problem.  Just claim, that the Lord’s anointed was the legitimate winner, and that the Almighty will restore him to his throne, by it by miliary coup, or legal shenanigans.

The depravity of white evangelicals has turned not just Protestants, but Catholics and adherents of other faiths away from religion. The skyrocketing number of Americans dissatisfied with religion is in large part a backlash against the Religious Right.

I feel at home with atheists, agnostics and even members of the Church of Satan more than I do with the evangelicals I used to bread with a long time ago.

Congratulations white evangelicals, you have driven a nail into Christianity.

Is There Anyone More Evil Than White Evangelicals?

White evangelicals have switched their allegiance from the kind and gentle Jesus of the Gospels to the vicious and vengeful Donald Trump of the tabloids and reality TV.

Followers tend to adopt the verbiage and behavior of their guru, and it’s no surprise evangelicals are as profane in their language and behavior as their orange messiah.

Evangelicals are for Trumpism, but they are better known for what they are against:

Gays, lesbians and trans men and women.

Believers who question the inerrancy of the Bible, and the relevancy of some of its centuries-old dogma for the present age.

Women who seek equality in the church and in the home.

Immigrants.

Climate Change.

Science.

People of color. 

The list is endless, but I trust that you’ve read enough and will join my crusade to expose the wickedness of the evangelical movement.

Televangelist Michael Todd Illustrates How Disgusting Evangelical Christianity is by Rubbing His Spit on Man’s Face

“Popular Oklahoma Pastor Michael Todd of Transformation Church has apologized to his more than 1.8 million fans across social media after receiving public backlash for wiping globs of spit on the face of a man he has identified as his little brother during his sermon on Sunday.”

Christian Post

Everything about evangelical Christianity is disgusting, from its literal interpretation of the Bible that condones slavery and genocide, to its infatuation with Donald Trump, to its misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia.

Televangelist Michael Todd illustrated just how disgusting his religion is by wiping globs of his spit on the face of his brother during his Sunday sermon.

Todd even grossed himself out, he apologized for his publicity stunt saying:

“It’s never my intention to distract others from God’s Word and the message of Jesus … even with illustrations! I apologize for my example being too extreme and disgusting!”

I watched it back, and it was disgusting. Like, that was gross. I want to validate everybody’s feelings. That was a distraction from what I was really trying to do — trying to make the word come alive and make people see the story.”

Believing that a woman’s gender disqualifies her from being a pastor is disgusting.

Spreading COVID by refused to mask up and getting vaccinated is disgusting.

Demonizing gays and lesbians is disgusting.

Supporting the racist, homophobic, misogynist, spiteful, petty and vengeful Donald Trump is disgusting.

Failure to take action against pedophile clergy is disgusting.

Spreading QAnon conspiracy theories is disgusting.

Rubbing spit on a man’s face is nothing compared to these evil sins that define the evangelical movement.

Evangelicals Don’t Get It: Having More Than Two Children is a Sin

“A majority of Americans in a new survey reject the idea that society is better off if marriage and procreation are prioritized. However, white evangelicals – who often hold more traditional views on the issue – think just the opposite.

The Pew Research Center survey found that only 34 percent of U.S. adults believe society is better off if ‘people make marriage and having children a priority,” while 64 percent believe society is ‘just as well off if people have priorities other than marriage and children.’

Yet among white evangelicals, 56 percent say society is better off with marriage and procreation being prioritized, while 41 percent say other priorities are fine.”

Christian Headlines

When Jehovah commanded Adam & Eve to “be fruitful and multiply”, it made perfect theological and evolutionary sense, if human beings were to survive as a species, an exponential growth spurt from day one was a biological necessity.

The first couple living in a pristine world could afford to procreate like rabbits without feeling a tinge of guilt, but today people living in an overpopulated and polluted world should think twice before bringing another child into this godforsaken world.

Americans get it, a life focused on getting married and having children is no longer a moral imperative. The opposite is true, a moral couple will take their financial situation and a surging world population into account, before having one or at the most two children.  

Evangelicals on the other hand are living in an alternate reality, where a woman’s greatest achievement is bearing children, and birthing a lot of little polluting monsters is somehow a good thing.

Once again, evangelicals are on the wrong side of history. Evolution doesn’t always get everything right, or else evangelicals would embrace birth control, be in favor of a woman’s right to choose, and stop having so many damn children

Why are White Evangelicals So Angry?

What emotion best describes white evangelicals?

Is it not seething anger? It doesn’t take any effort to picture a white evangelical shouting: Get off my lawn! Get out of my country! Stay out of my neighborhood! Don’t you dare enter my church!

Evangelicals used to place a high premium on repentance; they sought to repent of sins that angered their God, in the hopes it would bring them in harmony with their community.

Why are 21st century evangelicals so angry? It all stems from the fact that they have exchanged their compassionate and merciful messiah Jesus Christ for the sociopathic and vengeful Donald Trump.

Make no mistake about it, Trumpism has thoroughly corrupted the evangelical movement, in 2016 and in 2020 about 85 percent of evangelicals voted for their orange savior.

Evangelicals don’t measure the sincerity of their faith by how much they model the behavior of the kind and gentle Jesus Christ, but how they much they channel the vindictiveness, resentment and obnoxiousness of Trump.

Evangelicals judge the authenticity of your faith not by how closely you adhere to traditional Christian orthodoxy like the virgin birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ but by how loyal you are to the MAGA-controlled GOP.

Anger has corrupted the evangelical movement and destroyed the the Republican Party. It’s imperative that true Christians denounce the evangelical movement and that genuine Republicans cut out the cancer of Trumpism.

Evangelicals Love Their Long-winded Pastors

“Fewer than 10% of evangelical Protestants want to have shorter sermons during worship, while nearly a third want more in-depth teaching, according to recently released survey data.

According to the report, a copy of which was emailed to The Christian Post on Monday, only 7% of respondents want sermons to be shorter, while 85% believe the sermon lengths are acceptable as they are. About 8% percent said they wanted sermons to be longer.”

Christian Post

Sermons by evangelical ministers are devoid of empirical evidence, established science and common sense. You’d think their homilies would be short and sweet considering they appeal to the blind faith of their parishioners and they don’t engage in logical reasoning or a recitation of facts.

It shouldn’t take long for a bible-thumping preacher to bellow: The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it! Ya’ll go out there and convert the queers, commie liberals and feminazis to our Lord and Savior, Donald Trump!

But as anyone who has attended an evangelical service knows, pulpiters have a penchant for getting caught up in the Spirit, and they babble incoherently, seemingly endlessly.

When you are a cult member, and most evangelical congregations exhibit cult-like tendencies, you need constant reassurance. You need more than a ten-minute sermonette to cement your belief in your church’s myths, fables and conspiracy theories.

Hearing a televangelist screech for a minute is all the bullshit I can tolerate; thank God my mind and my spirit aren’t exposed to such toxic rhetoric.

There is No Place for White Evangelicals in Our Secular Postmodern Democracy

New Year’s Eve is a time for reflection and contemplation, a time to look back on all the horrendous events that took place this year, and a time to look forward to what steps we can take to make the new year better.

This isn’t my annual New Year’s Resolutions essay, the state of our democracy is in such dire straits that we must not focus on improving our lives, but on saving our republic.

I’m persuaded that with increasing vaccination rates, and due diligence with mitigation efforts we will eventually defeat the coronavirus.

But there’s a virus that’s more virulent, contagious and poses an even more existential threat to our country than the omicron variant.

White evangelical Christianity is a cancer that has metastasized and put democracy on its deathbed. Evangelicals have traded a compassionate and loving Jesus who preached about the Kingdom of Heaven for an inhumane and vicious orange messiah who’s trying to establish a white Christian nationalist theocracy.

Today’s white evangelical Christians put the Crusaders of old to shame, they hate Muslims and other religious and racial minorities with a passion and they are determined to reinstate their Savior by any means necessary: military coup, intimidation of election officials, undermining of the courts …

We must fight evangelicals with the same vigor and determination that we have exercised in our war with the virus. I’m not advocating for the literal extermination of white evangelicals, although the world would be better off without them. We must fight their racism, ignorance, anti-science stance, intolerance and anti-Christian philosophy with by exposing them with the truth. There is no place for evangelicals in our postmodern secular society.

Texas Educator Calls Evangelicals ‘Kooks’ Who Hate Reading

Some parents in Austin, Texas have their panties in a twist over books they claim contain pornographic content in their schools.

In truth, these religious bigots consider any book that affirms the dignity of the LGBTQ community pornographic. If they were really serious about blocking access to pornography, they would take the time to learn how to set parental controls on their children’s phones and other electronic devices. Although, truth be told, that’s a losing battle, children’s curiosity will always win out over their parents’ feeble attempts to restrict pornographic content.

In response, a teacher, Krista Tyler, mocked them as anti-reading bigots at a school board meeting by reading a Dr. Seuss-style poem:

“Everyone in Leander liked reading a lot, but some evangelicals in Leander did not. These kooks hated reading, the whole reading season. Please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.  It could be perhaps critical thinking causes fright.  It could be their heads aren’t screwed on just right. But whatever the reason, their brains or their fright, they can’t follow policy in plain black and white.”

It’s patently true that evangelicals hate reading, especially books that depicts a reality that exposes the unscientific basis of many of their cherished myths and fables.

By the way, they also hate reading the Bible, the average evangelical is unaware that it endorses slavery and genocide.

In their churches evangelicals can ban any reading material they don’t fancy, and exalt the Bible few of them have read from cover to cover. But in public schools children should be exposed to science and history textbooks and great books of literature that may be anathema to their parents.

Will an Online Sex Shop for Evangelicals Succeed?

“Andrea Dos Anjos opened her online store, Memorias da Clo, in 2019, offering Evangelical women a safe space to ask questions and seek advice on products designed for a part of life that remains taboo for many conservative Christians in Brazil.

The 43-year-old Baptist is based in Rio de Janeiro, but counsels her clients mainly via private messaging app.

Marques’s business, ConSensual, offers an online catalogue of ‘auxiliary products for relationships,’ such as erotic toys and flavored lubricants — all tactfully presented, steering well clear of the wilder side of the sex-toy trade.”

France24.Com

In America evangelicals are the biggest consumers of online pornography, they enjoy every genre of porn including girl-on-girl porn, bondage, gang rape and dozens of other sexual practices condemned by the Bible.  

Dos Anjos’ sex light online store doesn’t sell dildos, anal sex toys or sex dolls. “I don’t want clients to feel like they’re doing something wrong,” she says.

That’s not a good business model, evangelicals visit brothels, consume porn, and pick up hookers precisely because it’s a sin. Unbelievers will never experience the transcendent ecstasy achieved by indulging in sex acts you believe are morally wrong and condemned by the Bible.

Lubricants in flavors such as cotton candy and aphrodisiac perfumes are well and good, but if Dos Anjos really wants to make a killing she will sell vulgar sex merchandise like a giant dildo shaped like the mushroom shaped penis of our “orange Messiah, Donald Trump.”

But her online sex store is a good thing, anything that teaches evangelicals that sex is a fundamentally pure, natural and spiritual is a step in the right direction.

Donald Trump and White Evangelicals Were Made for Each Other

The disgraced twice-impeached Donald Trump is precisely the commander-in-chief white evangelicals lusted after, and he is exactly the Messiah they deserve.

Evangelicalism and Trumpism are fueled by anger, resentment and fear of changing demographics, empirical science and loss of white privilege.

Evangelicals don’t care about what’s right or wrong in the sight of their God, it’s all about halting their losing streak, and winning at any costs under the leadership of Trump.

They dream of a theocracy led by their orange Messiah where the only acceptable greeting during the holiday season is “Merry Christmas”, where fans who don’t stand for the National Anthem will be arrested, and where prayers in the name of Jesus will be restored at public schools.

Evangelicals don’t care about “winning souls for Christ”, but owning the libs and gaslighting them.

By their words and actions, they have rejected the loving and compassionate Jesus Christ and made common cause with the hateful and vengeful Donald Trump.

If their scripture is true, hell awaits Donald Trump and his white evangelical enablers and supporters.

Anti-Vaxxer Evangelical TV Mogul Marcus Lamb Dies of Covid-19

“Marcus Lamb, the evangelical founder of a prosperity gospel television network died of Covid-19 on Tuesday after he and his network advocated against the Covid vaccine. He was 64. His son announced his father’s death on Twitter.”

I don’t celebrate the death of Lamb, a televangelist huckster, enabler of Trump and spreader of false conspiracy theories, but I do rejoice that the voice of this prominent anti-vaxxer has been silenced.

As the founder and CEO of Daystar Television Network, the worlds’ second-largest Christian television network, Lamb had a huge platform to spread his pernicious falsehoods about the coronavirus.

God only knows how many people needlessly died after following his advice to eschew vaccinations and to forego wearing masks.

His son Jonathan had this on the death of his father:

“My father was promoted to heaven at 4 a.m. this morning. His life was truly well-lived and there’s no doubt that he heard ‘well done my good and faithful servant’ when he entered heaven’s gates.”

Bullshit! We can debate whether or not there’s a heaven, but I think most of us can agree there’s no place in heaven for grifters, liars, and con artists.

As a person wittier than me said: Finally silence of the Lamb.
