Mike Lindell and his Ilk Have Done More to Undermine the Evangelical Movement Than Any Atheist or Agnostic

“MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told CNBC he is ready to go broke pushing the false claim that the election was stolen from Donald Trump while proclaiming that the election system needs extensive changes.

Lindell said he has spent $25 million of his own money since Election Day to fuel his campaign. And he plans to keep spending to continue his crusade going into the 2022 midterm elections.

Mike Lindell is an evangelical, and as such his primary focus should be to evangelize, i.e., spread the Good News that Jesus saves. You would expect him to use his national platform, his immense wealth and his time preaching the Gospel.

Instead, the Pillow huckster is prepared to go broke promulgating the Big Lie that his messiah, Donald Trump, won the election.

The legitimate cable news networks and the broadcast evening news programs are loathe to give him any air time to spread his false conspiracy theories, but he is willing to appear on any podcast, YouTube channel, and 3rd rate cable news network to spread the Gospel of his Orange Messiah.

Lindell spreads a litany of false conspiracy theories, but his main obsession is the Big Lie. It’s manifest that Joe Biden won in a popular vote and electoral college landside over Donald Trump. Only cultists who live in an alternate universe and immerse themselves in ultra-right web sites, TV news networks and podcasts believe in the Big Lie.

If Lindell and his fellow evangelicals are dead wrong when it comes to the Big Lie, then it’s only fair and prudent to question the validity of their core evangelical beliefs.

If they are wrong about the Big Lie, are they wrong about the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ? His resurrection? The reliability of the Bible? Lindell and his ilk have done more to undermine the evangelical movement than any atheist or agnostic.

Evangelicals Who Still Believe Trump Won Can Eat Shi* and Die

On Nov. 3, 2020, Trump campaign adviser Harlan Hill said he’d livestream himself eating his shoe if Joe Biden won the presidential election.

Don’t bother searching YouTube for a video of Hill eating his shoe, it doesn’t exist. When Mediate asked Hill if he planned to keep his word and eat his shoe, he answered, “Trump won.”

Hill wasn’t the only Republican politician who on Election Day and the weeks following insisted that Trump won, although they didn’t put their foot in their mouth by promising to eat a shoe if Biden won.

Thousands of evangelical ministers prophesied that Trump would win including Pat Robertson, Paula White-Cain, Greg Locke and Jeremiah Johnson. Only a handful have publicly apologized, any many still insist that Trump actually won.

The punishment specified for false prophets in the Old Testament was severe: “If any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death” (Deuteronomy 18:20).

I’m not as harsh as the Jehovah of the Old Testament but I do wish that clowns like Robertson and Locke who assured their followers that the Almighty Himself had told them that Trump was going to win would eat shit and die, or at least eat a pair of old sneakers.

Millions of QAnon cultists and evangelicals swallowed Trump’s Big Lie and still believe that Trump won and Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.

The Bible says that the devil is a liar and the father of lies. These Trump-supporting evangelicals have been deceived by one of the devil’s biggest lies, that Trump is a messiah figure who was cheated out of victory.

I don’t expect evangelicals to have an epiphany or to acknowledge reality by presenting them with facts and evidence, they are willfully blind. I simply write them off, only citizens who believe the truth and cherish the truth can join us who voted for Biden in building a more perfect union.
