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.
