White Evangelicals Are the Most Hateful People on the Face of the Earth

Leave a comment

The Public Religion Research Institute’s annual American Values Survey has found that white Evangelicals are the religious group most likely to believe that “empathy can become dangerous when it leads people away from building a society guided by God’s truth.”

Evangelicals are the most hateful people on the face of God’s green earth. They hate sexual freedom that allows individuals to have personal autonomy to make choices about their own bodies and sexual freedom, while at the same time secretly indulging in porn and blowing up Grinder whenever they assemble in mass rallies and conventions.

They reject diversity and inclusion even as they claim to love everyone. Hate appears to be their default, while their compassion is reserved for those who share their hostility.

Evangelicals once presented themselves as kind and loving, reflected in the refrain, “God hates the sin but loves the sinner.” They claimed to love the LGBT community while warning that its members would be condemned to hell unless they rejected their sexual orientation.

Now, however, evangelicals no longer even profess to love all of God’s children. Instead, they have embraced Donald Trump, who is hateful and incapable of empathy. They treat a lack of empathy as a virtue and disparage those who show compassion for society’s most vulnerable people.

Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. The founder of Christianity would not consider White evangelicals his followers.

Evangelicals Idolize the Bible

Evangelicals often label Latter-day Saints, Seventh-day Adventists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses as cults while ridiculing their sacred texts, including the Book of Mormon and Ellen G. White’s writings.

But evangelicals are more cult-like than the aforementioned Christian sects, they set themselves apart from mainstream Christianity with their rabid devotion to their orange messiah and their idolatrous affection for the Bible. They treat the bible as a magic book that explains all of life’s mysteries, and they use it as a weapon to thump unbelievers.

The Bible was written by roughly 40 authors over about 1,500 years, so it naturally contains contradictions. This helps explain why more than 40,000 Christian denominations interpret it differently.

Evangelicals are woefully ignorant of the bible that they venerate, and they memorize a few dozen verses, and they use these selected words to demonize everyone outside their cult.

Evangelicals are so quick to use the bible to condemn others that they are rendered spiritually blind to the teachings of Jesus Christ. They place more stock in selected scripture verses than in the love and mercy of the founder of Christianity.

Evangelicals would be better served by setting aside an excessive reverence for the Bible and focusing instead on loving God with all their heart, soul, and mind, and loving their neighbors as themselves.

Evangelicals Love Ugly Toad Tom Homan

Border Czar Tom Homan speaks with a deep, raspy, and gravelly voice, and his vocal tone is defiant and aggressive. You would think the Trump regime would keep this marble mouth monstrosity out of the public spotlight.

But Homan is frequently called upon to speak before evangelical and Catholic audiences, especially now as the midterms are quickly approaching.

Homan, whose hateful rhetoric and defiant delivery, is matched by his physical repulsiveness, is the perfect spokesperson for evangelicals. His malignant and malevolent spirt resonates with conservative Christians.

Homan’s recent speech before the Georgia Faith and Freedom Coalition was an unabashed defense of the regime’s immigration brutality.

Homan a Catholic who has criticized Pope Leo’s objections to the Trump regime’s immigration crackdown, peppered his address with profanity.

The faith audience ate up the xenophobia and expletives; Homan probably succeeded in his crusade to inspire the faithful to vote for Trump’s fascist agenda.

MAGA White Christian Nationalism is Opposed to Genuine Christianity and Democracy

Evangelicals are taught not to question authority; in many evangelical churches, the pastor is viewed as God’s anointed leader and challenging him is seen as rebellion against God.

Women and girls are taught to automatically submit to patriarchal authority, and any challenge to it is labeled as the spirit of Jezebel.

Obedience is the default mode, silence is the expected behavior, and those who do not engage and participate in groupthink are agents of the devil.

The Bible, considered the infallible Word of God, is meant to be interpreted literally. Evangelicals believe Jonah lived inside the belly of a whale for three days and nights, Moses parted the Red Sea, Joshua asked Jehovah to make the sun stand still—and He kept it in the middle of the sky for a day—and Elijah called down fire from heaven.

These “miracles” defy biology, physics, and common sense. Yet if an evangelical suggests that some biblical stories may be myths or allegories, they are denounced as heretics.

Evangelicals place unquestioning faith in their narrow interpretation of Scripture and often dismiss those who disagree as godless sinners.

MAGA evangelicals regard Donald Trump as God’s chosen leader, viewing any challenge to him as rebellion against both God and country.

Subservience is expected, silence and reverence are demanded, and those who refuse to worship Trump are branded godless communists.

The MAGA White Christian nationalist movement stands opposed to genuine Christianity and democracy, and patriots must resist it tooth and nail.

Evangelical Influencer Preaches to Captive Audience on a Plane

There is nothing more insidious than an online influencer, and there is nothing cringier than an evangelical influencer. You think snakes on a plane is terrifying, imagine being stuck on a plane with an evangelical influencer.

Presley Mae Foster, a faith-based content creator, posted a video that drew more than three million views. In it, she delivered a sermonette, subjecting captive passengers to her fundamentalist version of Christianity.

I would rather be stuck on an airplane with a bevy load of sumo wrestlers suffering from explosive diarrhea than being trapped with just one MAGA evangelical with diarrhea of the mouth.

Imagine the plight of the hapless passengers: their plane is delayed on the tarmac, they are probably wondering what else could go wrong, and then this influencer starts discussing her faith with everyone onboard. It is like, bitch read the room, nobody wants to hear your shit. I would rather hear a wretched soul afflicted with Fournier’s gangrene, a rapidly spreading necrotizing infection of the perineum and genitalia, discuss his prognosis.

Foster said she felt the Holy Spirit urging her to share her faith. But the first rule of airplane etiquette is simple: if the Holy Ghost, Casper the Friendly Ghost, or any other spirit tells you to stand in the aisle and preach—or hold forth on any subject—don’t. Call Ghostbusters and have those mischievous ghosts removed.

Don’t Be Surprised Evangelicals Have an Affinity for Trump’s Fascist Regime

Many Americans are baffled by MAGA evangelicals’ affiliation and spirited defense of the fascist Trump Administration. They have a tough time understanding how a movement that claims to follow the teachings of the peaceful, empathetic, and loving Jesus Christ can submit to a sociopath who is the antithesis of the founder of their faith.

I am not.

 Trump’s authoritarian and autocratic regime is tailor-made to appeal to the evangelical mindset. Evangelicals gravitate to megachurches ruled by authoritarian leaders who answer to nobody and have a penchant for making bombastic statements. Donald Trump is the epitome of a dictatorial leader who makes outlandish statements and answers to nobody not even the Constitution, naturally evangelicals worship him as their messiah.

Evangelicals are complicit with Trump is the dismantling of our democracy, they praise God for every anti-democracy statement or action by Trump and his cabal of sycophants. They are on a crusade to destroy democracy, while claiming that they are patriotic and freedom loving.

MAGA evangelicals fail to understand that democracy is an ongoing effort to build a more perfect union, not a finished product. In a healthy democracy, compromise and debate are essential values. Evangelical culture often emphasizes conformity, groupthink, and unquestioning loyalty to leaders, especially those who claim to speak for God.

Trump opposes democracy, and so do his evangelical supporters; we are in an existential struggle against them.

Phone Plan for Christians that Blocks Porn Will Fail, They Love Them Some Porn

“A new US-wide cell phone network (Radiant Mobile) marketed to Christians is set to launch next week. It blocks porn, which experts in network security say marks the first time a US cell plan has used network-level blocking for such content that can’t be turned off even by adult account owners. It’s also rolling out a filter on sexual content aimed at blocking material related to gender and trans issues.”

Technology Review.com

Evangelicals will sign up by the millions for a cell phone network that blocks porn and LGBTQ content, right?

Wrong! Fundies will claim that this porn-free cell service is the greatest thing since sliced bread and leisure suits, but they are going to keep their cell phone plans that allow them unfettered access to hard core porn.

Even as evangelicals condemn pornography and protest LGBTQ-related content, the Bible Belt has the highest porn consumption in the country.

At Republican National Conventions and Turning Point USA events, Tinder and Grindr often see sharp usage spikes in the host city. The same kind of hypocrisy shows up among prominent closeted evangelicals including Senators Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Tom Cotton, and Josh Hawley; House Speaker Mike Johnson; and commentator Bennie Johnson.

When a religious or political convention comes to town especially one marked by worship and public piety Grindr activity tends to surge, and nearby hotels often fill with male sex workers.

Mark my words: Radiant Mobile will fail because many evangelicals still want access to pornography, especially girl-on-girl content.

To Hell with Evangelicals, their Jesus, their Bible and their Adopted State of Israel

White evangelicals proclaim that their devotion to their orange messiah is a religious duty centered on protecting Christian influence and advancing an eschatology that will culminate in the rapture of the church. Most Bible thumpers think Trump is without sin and without fault, although a few concede that he does not personally embody traditional Christian virtues. The MAGA cultists rationalize: the Almighty enacts his will through imperfect vessels.  

These religious extremists idolize their orange Jesus, and they hate real Christians who remain faithful to the loving and merciful Jesus of the New Testament.

When evangelicals worship the most corrupt, vain, incompetent, and fascist president in history, mainline Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, and the nonreligious naturally and intuitively deduce that evangelical Christianity is a demonic doctrine from the pit of hell.

It should not be surprising that cultists who adore a president who is a steaming pile of human shit, are also the biggest supporters of the evil and genocidal Zionist state of Israel.

When a religious sect reveres a sociopath and fascist president, and supports the apartheid and racist state of Israel, that is plenty of reason to give them a wide berth as they march straight to hell.

Fuck evangelicals. Fuck their orange Jesus. Fuck their adopted state of Israel. Fuck their twisted interpretation of the Bible.

Evangelical Christianity is a Cancer

A cancer diagnosis is devastating. Hearing those words brings a tidal wave of shock, fear, and uncertainty. It’s equivalent to receiving a life sentence in a criminal trial, because even if you beat cancer after surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, chances are that you will get cancer again.

If your oncologist delivers the horrible diagnosis doing nothing is not an option. It won’t go away if you ignore it or rely solely on thoughts and prayers.  Only fatalists and religious nuts will rely on fate or God. We must choose one of the aforementioned strategies to eradicate the Big C.

Evangelical Christianity is a cancer. When this pernicious cancer has metastasized in our federal government it brings a tidal wave of shock, fear, revulsion and regret for those who voted for Donald Trump.

Once you realize that evangelical Christianity permeates the executive, judicial and legislative branches of our democracy doing nothing is not an option. The fruit of evangelicalism is fascism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and all manner of evil.

Trump’s ICE thugs are kidnapping housekeepers and construction workers, knocking down doors of residents to gain illegal warrantless entry, and executing innocent civilians. The regime has conducted unilateral airstrikes in countries including Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, and Syria, despite not being in a state of war with these nations, thereby contravening international law.   

We cannot wait three years to vote Trump out of office; our democracy may not endure that long. This White Christian Nationalist regime must be overthrown now. Impeachment and the 25th Amendment are not viable options because they require the approval of congressional Republicans, and they will never vote to get rid of their orange messiah.

Senate Democrats must block the DHS spending bill, shutting down the government. We the people must go on a general strike, bringing the economy to a standstill until Trump resigns. We must flood the streets in the millions until this fascist cancer is eradicated.

To Hell with Evangelicals and Their Child-like Faith

Evangelicals believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. They trust Scripture implicitly, and they place a premium on child-like faith. They take pride in believing in fables and allegories like Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, and the Tower of Bable with the innocence and naivety of children.

Doubt is the unpardonable sin, and they pray away every last vestige of skepticism. Critical thinking is for atheists, liberals and heathen and they swallow hook, line, and sinker every doctrine of their faith. The evangelical brain is conditioned to have zero critical thinking skills, doubt kills faith.

Therefore, they accept without reservation every idiotic, irrational and batshit crazy utterance that emanates from the sphincter-shaped mouth of their messiah, Donald Trump. They believe every lunatic conspiracy theory that is posted on a MAGA website or published in a far-right conservative publication.

This is why your sweet evangelical grandma thinks liberals are Satan-worshipping pedophiles, and that’s why MAGA Republicans voted for a malignant narcissist, adjudicated rapist, serial adulterer, suspected pedophile, convicted fraudster and steaming pile of human shit.

You will never convince a child who’s been indoctrinated by their parents that Santa is not real, and you will never convince an evangelical that Donald Trump is the embodiment of evil.

We cannot expect the Lord to rapture these cultists to heaven or to hell where they really belong. We must take care of matters ourselves and vote MAGA politicians out of office, and mock and ridicule evangelicals into silence.

To Hell with Evangelicals

A 2023 Pew Research survey found 32% of nonevangelicals had negative views of evangelicals, compared with 18% of nonevangelicals who viewed evangelicals favorably.

I come from an evangelical background, and I share the disdain many nonevangelicals feel for evangelicals. Even some evangelicals have a negative view of evangelicals, which is why there are so many exvangelicals who become disillusioned with its fascist politics and fundamentalist social stances and have left that narrow-minded religious tradition.

Evangelicalism, as practiced by white Americans, is a narrow road that leads to divisiveness, discord, and damnation.

I urge evangelicals to come to their senses, leave their cult, and become exvangelicals. That doesn’t mean you have to embrace atheism; there are many mainline Protestant, Reformed s and Black Bible churches that practice real Christianity.

It is okay to hate evangelicals, just as it is okay to hate Nazis, Al Qaida, conspiracy theorists and fascists. Evangelicals incorporate many elements of Nazism, fascism, and Islamic fundamentalism. In fact, it is our patriotic duty to hate on evangelicals. I believe I have the Lord’s blessing when I say, Fuck evangelicals. Can I get an Amen?

‘Hate the sin, love the sinner’ ?

Evangelicals justify their judgmental and parochial attitude by uttering the magical phrase, “hate the sin, love the sinner.”

This ubiquitous phrase suggests that they draw a distinction between a person’s behavior and their inherent worth as a child of God. This may hold true for most sins like adultery, gluttony, pride and racism that are endemic in evangelical congregations, but they hate the “sin’ of homosexuality, and they hate gays with a passion.

Evangelicals use this cliché to rationalize their unhinged, vicious, and cruel rhetoric against the LGBTQ community. They condemn them as sinful, unnatural, perverted, and anti-God, then they try to protect themselves from being labeled homophobic by saying, “we hate homosexuality but we love the homosexuals.”

Bullshit!

Gays aren’t accepted into an evangelical congregation unless they renounce their inherent same-sex attraction and pretend to be heterosexual. If a gay is too swishy, they’ll try to pray the gay away, and if that fails, they will force him into gay conversation therapy, and as a last resort they will hold an exorcism to banish the demon of gay perversion.

It is not even true that evangelicals hate the sin and love the sinner. Evangelicals justify and excuse the sins of adultery, political corruption, greed, and even the horrible sin of pedophilia if committed by Trump or any of his supporters.

These hypocrites love sin, and I hope God smites them the next time they say, “hate the sin, love the sinner.”

Evangelical Church Urges Trump Admin to Execute LGBTQ Americans

“An Indiana church is urging the Trump administration to ‘execute’ members of the LGBTQ community because ‘the Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death.’

In a sermon titled, ‘Pray the Gay Away,’ Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, ‘They’re all a bunch of fa**.”

Raw Story

The tribal God of the Old Testament demanded death, by stoning, for myriad offenses including working on the sabbath, adultery, false prophecy, consulting a witch, divination…

Mainline Protestants and most evangelicals have evolved theologically, morally, and ethically and do not expect this draconian penalty for these “sins” to be enacted by a civilized society.

However, evangelical Christians hate the LGBTQ community, and a few even believe they should be put to death.

If all false prophets (think Trump prophets), adulterers, horoscope aficionados, people who work on Sundays and gay people in evangelical congregations were put to death, the pews would be empty.

Evangelicals deflect and distract from their many transgressions by focusing all their rage on gay men. They hurl epithets at them, dehumanizing them and treating them like people with leprosy.

Extremists like Stephen Falco who call for the execution of members of the LGBTQ community are in the minority, but they allow ordinary evangelicals to rationalize that their homophobia is not so bad, after all they are not calling for them to be murdered.

Pray the Gay away? How about embracing, affirming, blessing and welcoming them to the fold?

Evangelical Dispensationalism is an Abomination

American evangelicals are dispensationalists, an offshoot of orthodox Christianity invented in the early 1800’s by John Nelson Darby. It emphasizes a literal interpretation of Scripture, never mind that the canon includes disparate genres of literature: poetry, apocalyptic, allegorical, historical, epistles and even erotica (Song of Solomon) and includes fables, parables and myths that were not meant to be taken literally.

Dispensationalism maintains a distinction between Israel and the Church, and adherents believe that the creation of the modern Zionist state of Israel in 1948 is the ultimate fulfillment of prophecy. America First evangelicals put the interests of Israel ahead of America’s and they blindly support Israel, although the rogue nation is guilty of genocide and colonialism in Palestine, and their Prime Minister is an indicted criminal.

Dispensationalism was tailor-made for American evangelicals, the prime elements (the Tribulation, the Rapture, the Antichrist and Armageddon appeal to Americans love of theatrics, spectacle, and epic scenes of violence.

Evangelicals nurtured by Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth and Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind and weaponized by their Orange Messiah political triumph are on the verge of climax by the bombing of Iran by the USA.

Evangelicals are not praying for diplomacy to prevail in the Middle East; they are cheering on the wanton violence and genocide. They believe that this orgy of violence is hastening the Rapture of the Church.

In their wet dreams evangelicals see themselves floating in the air to meet Jesus in the Rapture, but if the Prince of Peace does return, they will mistake him for the Antichrist and crucify Him.

Evangelicals Have Found a Home in MAGA and a Savior in Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s white evangelical supporters zealously back him because their anachronistic religious doctrines are rendered obsolete and irrelevant by science and education. Data always prevails against dogma, and religious fundamentalists are a joke in the prevalent zeitgeist of our secular democracy.

Evangelicals are shunned by our technological society, but they have found a home in MAGA and a savior in Donald Trump.  The transactional, pragmatic, and cynical Trump thinks they are useful idiots, but he caters to their every wish to solidify their support.

Evangelicals have a mindset where there are no shades of gray, everything is black and white, right or wrong, and Trump’s confident boasting, with no nuance or complexity resonates with them.

They hate everyone who doesn’t belong to their sect, and Trump’s hateful and vindictive spirit resonates with them. They share the sociopath’s hatred of trans people, gays and lesbians, and all racial and religious minorities.

Evangelicals know that Trump is an agent of chaos and conflict, but they could care less as long as his fury is aimed at Democrats and progressives and not at them.

Evangelicals are educationally and intellectually unequipped to  refute or even understand climate change, evolution, and economic disparity, and they respond to any argument by saying “the Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it” or “Trump was right about everything.”

The tension between obstinate belief and modernity won’t end with the impeachment or death of Trump, but it will be a big step in the right direction.

Trump Inspires MAGA Revivals of Greed and Hate

“The Museum of the Bible based in Washington, D.C., recently sponsored an event organizer Joshua Feuerstein described as ‘an opportunity for Christian pastors to come to a revival at Mar-a-Lago,’ Trump’s Florida resort.

The cheapest tickets for the event (held not at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort but 80 miles away at Trump National Doral) were $500, with ‘a special discounted offer exclusively for pastors.’ The $7,000, $3,500 and $1,750 VIP tickets sold out.”

BaptistNews.Com

Religious revivals in American history originated in poor and rural communities. The Spirit of the Lord moved not in magnificent cathedrals but in revival meetings held in tents with dirt floors.

In the old-timey revival meetings, worshippers sought a closer walk with God manifest by speaking in tongues, rolling down the dirt floors (hence the term holy rollers) and exuberant praise and worship.

The revivals of the MAGA era originate in arena size mega churches where the unholy spirit of mammon moves the cultists to fund Trump’s crusade to turn our democracy into a White Nationalist Christian theocracy.

The speakers at the Museum of the Bible revival event included conspiracy theorist and disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and actor, comedian, conspiracy theorist and alleged serial rapist Russell Brand. With speakers like that I expect a revival of corruption, misinformation, and misogyny to break out.

With VIP (Very Insecure Pricks?) tickets sold for as high as $7,000, this was not a revival event for the poor that that attended the revivals of our past. I wonder, was the climax of this event a circle jerk where Brooks Brothers clad assholes splattered a golden statue of Donald Trump with their jizz?

Trump and MAGA Faithful Incapable of Empathy

The Old Testament God was vengeful, jealous, and quick to wrath, and his chosen people lived by the code of exacting a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. If Jehovah ordered the Israelites to commit genocide against the peoples who were living in the promised land, you could not expect them to express empathy for foreigners.

The God of the New Testament is forgiving, tolerant and merciful, and his followers lived by the Golden Rule.

MAGA evangelicals disdain Jesus as woke and weak, and they embrace the macho deity of the Old Testament who didn’t flinch from drowning every man, woman, and child in the world, except for Noah and his incestuous family.

Trump is a sociopath incapable of empathy, and in the eyes of his supporters, the sociopathy of their orange messiah is superior to the empathy of Jesus.

They have no empathy for immigrants who are fleeing poverty and persecution in their homelands and seeking freedom and dignity in America. They have no empathy for the LGBTQ community who are not seeking any special rights, but seeking equality in the church, workplace and in the public square. They have no sympathy for Blacks, Latinos and other racial minorities who are struggling to make America a more perfect union. They have no empathy for anyone who doesn’t look like them.

I’d rather follow the Golden Rule than subscribe to the “they who have the gold make the rules” philosophy of the Oligarchs and their MAGA useful idiots.

The Symbiotic Relationship Between Trump and White Evangelicals

The toxic and symbiotic relationship between Donald Trump and white evangelicals has changed since 2016 when the Bible thumpers initially tentatively embraced the amoral bastard.

Back then they were queasy and hesitant to publicly support the pathological liar, serial philanderer and unethical real estate tycoon. The sanctimonious hypocrites distanced themselves from his immoral conduct, penchant for uttering profanities and petty vindictiveness, but they embraced his stand against abortion and his affinity for the Zionist state of Israel.

They regarded Trump as a corrupt politician but nevertheless a messiah chosen by the Almighty to Make America Great Again and to turn back the tide of moral decadence.

But now white evangelicals are as corrupt, petty and vindictive as their Dear Leader. Trump has a cultlike hold on his evangelical devotees, and they support him not despite the fact that he’s amoral, but precisely because he’s a ruthless moral monster who’s on a mission from God to destroy liberals.

In 2016 they cringed when Trump uttered an obscenity at his MAGA rallies, now they laugh and recite the profanity along with him. They experience a spiritual orgasm when Trump engages in violent and hateful rhetoric. In short, they have become indistinguishable from their evil leader, and they have turned into the moral decadence that is ruining our great democracy.

The end stage of this symbiotic relationship is when the parasite from hell Trump, has sucked every last drop of goodness that may have existed at one time in the white evangelical movement.

Trump Will Meet the Same Fate as the Biblical Samson

Christian Nationalist evangelical pastor Rob McCoy believes that twice impeached, thrice married and a gazillion times indicted Donald Trump was anointed by God to lead a sinful nation. He compares the disgraced former and future president to the biblical Samson, whom he characterizes as a flawed individual used by the Almighty to accomplish His will.

I cannot argue with McCoy’s description of America as a sinful nation. The United States is as sinful as the Germany of the late 1930’s that allowed a sociopath to gain ultimate power by promising to restore the greatest of a Germany diminished and demoralized by the humiliating armistice that ended World War I. Hitler’s Third Reich ended with Europe in ruins, and Germany completed destroyed. You do not have to be a political science major or a historian to read the writing on the wall — the Trump regime will end with our democracy in ruins.

The German church was complicit in the rise of Hitler to power, and the white evangelical church in America has served as the vanguard to restoring Trump to power.

The Samson of the Bible was not a heroic figure, he was a monster who attached torches to the tails of 300 foxes to burn Philistine crops and a bloodthirsty warrior who used a donkey’s jawbone to massacre 1,000 Philistines.

Likewise, Trump is not a heroic figure, his incompetence and rank stupidity during the COVID pandemic resulted in the needless death of hundreds of thousands.

Samson came to an ignominious end pushing apart the pillars of a Philistine banquet hall, killing himself and 3,000 Philistines.

Samson derived his power from his long luxurious locks and Trump derives his infamy from his wispy urine-colored hair. Trump’s reign will come to an ignominious end also, with the destruction of our democracy, and quite possibly in nuclear Armageddon.

Evangelicals in Uproar Over John Piper’s tweet

John Piper is an evangelical theologian, retired Reformed Baptist pastor, prolific author, former chancellor of a Bible college and seminary and a podcaster. In short, he is an accomplished and serious evangelical, but he’s not a Trump sycophant, and that makes him a person of ill repute in the evangelical movement.

John Piper posted the following fairly innocuous tweet, which has caused an uproar in the evangelical community:

“Presidential election results.

Having delivered us from one evil, God now tests us with another.”

I wouldn’t like or repost Piper’s tweet because I don’t see the same kind of moral equivalence between Harris and Trump that he sees. There is no similarity between a conventional politician who believes in the democratic process, and an authoritarian who is willing to blow up the democratic process to win an election.

If the Almighty doesn’t deliver us from monsters like Hitler and Trump, it’s fair to deduce that when it comes to elections He’s not in the equation.

In a democracy it’s voters, not any deity, who determine the outcome of an election.

But at least Piper recognizes Trump as an evil, and not a God ordained messiah to make America great again.

Evangelicals are so caught up in the Trump cult, that unlike Piper they will never realize that he is the embodiment of evil, not even if his recklessness and stupidity start World War III.

If God is testing us with Trump’s victory, evangelicals have already failed the test.

Evangelicals Need to Stop Hating on LGBTQ Community

The LGBTQ community has made tremendous strides in recent years; most Americans no longer consider them outsiders to be feared and ostracized. According to a May 2022 Gallup poll 71% of Americans support same-sex marriage.

But evangelicals still consider sodomy the greatest sin in the world, even though Jesus never said a word about the subject.

There are just as many gays in church as there are in the secular realm, evidenced by the many ministers who have been exposed as closeted gays.

Evangelical pastors marginalize and ostracize gay people and rail against them from the pulpit because they are the one group that they feel safe preaching against.

The Bible has a lot more to say about pride, adultery, gluttony, and dozens of other sins, but if evangelical ministers preach too much against these sins, they will alienate too many people in their congregation.

Obesity is an epidemic in America but evangelical minister John Hagge who is morbidly obese never preaches against gluttony, but he never misses an opportunity to denounce gays.

Evangelicals who are so vehemently anti-gay worship Donald Trump. The same Trump who rhapsodizes about the length of Arnold Palmer’s penis, simulates performing oral sex on a microphone, and  closes his rallies by dancing to the gay anthem “YMCA.”

Evangelicals in the Bible Belt are the biggest consumers of girl-on-girl porn. They need to hit pause on their porn, stop using their bibles as a weapon, repent of their hypocrisy and recognize that hating on gays is a grievous sin.

Before Debate Trump’s Evangelical Fluffers Prayed the Holy Spirit Would Speak Through Him

On Monday night, before Tuesday night’s presidential debate Donald Trump prayed, via telephone call, with hundreds of his evangelical supporters. This mockery of prayer was sponsored by the “National Faith Advisory Board,” an organization headed by prosperity gospel evangelist Paula-White-Cain, whose main purpose is to stroke his ego, or to put it more crassly, to fluff his mushroom-shaped tiny pecker.

White-Cain prayed that the Holy Spirit would speak through the former president during Tuesday night’s debate because, just like King David in the Old Testament, Trump was the Lord’s anointed.

Call me a cynic but I seriously doubt that a divine spirit would speak through such a craven, amoral sociopath, with delusions of becoming America’s first dictator.

But maybe I’m wrong, perhaps the Holy Ghost deigned to speak through the sphincter-shaped mouth of the orange obscenity. After all, according to the Old Testament Jehovah spoke through Balaam’s donkey.

Was it the Holy Spirit speaking through the steaming pile of human shit known as Donald Trump when he dehumanized Haitian immigrants by spreading the racist rumor that in Springfield, Ohio they are stealing and eating dogs and cats?

 Or maybe it was when Trump blatantly lied and said that Democrats are in favor of abortion until nine months, and even after birth. That is of course a ridiculous lie, infanticide is illegal in every state.

Almost every incoherent statement that emanated from Trump’s mouth was a craven lie, and anybody who thinks that he is God’s spoken is full of crap.

Happy Eclipse Day/Rapture Day

“A total solar eclipse is taking place on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible across North America and dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by some media. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.”

Wikipedia

For the vast majority of Americans there is nothing mysterious or apocalyptic about today’s total solar eclipse. It’s Science 101, and the lucky souls who live on the path of totality plan on celebrating this celestial event by donning cool eclipse glasses and downing a beer or two, or three.

Contrary to common belief, solar eclipses aren’t rare sightings. According to NASA there has been an average of 2.5 eclipses every year for the past 1,000 years.

But for many evangelical Christians the solar eclipse is a major eschatological event, and they expect Jesus Christ to rapture them out of this world during the four minutes of darkness. I’m not surprised at the gullibility and stupidity of evangelicals; they birth a new conspiracy theory every time they have a bowel movement.

While we are looking at the sun, with our protective glasses, evangelicals are looking for the Son of God to emerge from the eclipse. I won’t go into the details of why they believe Jesus will return during the eclipse, because it would make your head spin, if it doesn’t outright explode.

I don’t believe anything that’s not based on science, but wouldn’t it be great if Jesus did return today and raptured the racist, idiotic and hateful and Trump-loving evangelicals out of this world?

White Evangelicals are Clownish Cultists, But We Must Take Them Seriously

White evangelicals are an aberration, they don’t quite fit the national zeitgeist. It’s easy to dismiss them as uneducated and brainwashed cultists who engage in groupthink, mindlessly obeying their pastors and especially their orange messiah.

It’s natural to mock and ridicule Trump’s evangelical regiment, after all they speak in tongues, believe in divine healing and demonic possession, are waiting for Jesus to Rapture them out of this world, and they have sworn allegiance to their orange idol.  

But we dismiss them at our own peril, they are dangerous precisely because they are a monolith voting bloc, who are convinced they are in a spiritual warfare with Biden and his host of godless liberals.

Trump may be a senile buffoon and his MAGA base may be idiots, but we must take them seriously. Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and he may win his rematch with Joe Biden in 2024, if Democrats don’t mobilize and energize their base to defeat Trump once and for all.

If Biden doesn’t win the general election in 2024, Trump will do his best to turn our democracy into a white nationalist Christian theocracy, and public school teachers will be warning our children to prepare for the Rapture and to report any of their classmates who show signs of demon possession.

Trump’s MAGA Faithful Aren’t Your Father’s Evangelicals

Trump’s MAGA faithful aren’t your father’s evangelicals, they have substituted the peaceful message of Jesus Christ for the vengeful and hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump.

They despise the hippy Jesus of the Gospels and his liberal Sermon on the Mount blather about “blessed are the poor.” Instead of going to a church that teaches parishioners to love their neighbors and to minister to the poor and needy, they attend MAGA rallies where they soak in the hatred, racism and homophobia that emanates from the sphincter-shaped mouth of their orange overlord.

They aren’t into turning the other cheek, they prefer to pimp slap heretics who doesn’t worship their orange messiah. They perceive themselves as White Christian Nationalist soldiers marching as to war, with their freak flag of Trump flying high, hoping to instill fear in migrants, racial minorities and the LGBT community.

Their mindset is screw Jesus and his liberal blessed are the poor bullshit, give us the ruthless and vengeful sociopath who will own the libs and transform our democracy into a white Christian nationalist theocracy.

Trump’s MAGA disciples aren’t your father’s evangelicals, they are religious scum and we must smite them hip and thigh, metaphorically speaking.
