Russell Moore, who presides over the political arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, called Trump "an awful candidate" and criticized "the old-guard religious right political establishment" for supporting him, notwithstanding Trump's "serious moral problems" and a Southern Baptist tradition of opposing politicians whose personal behavior is considered un-Christian.

"The religious right," Moore argued in an October speech, "turns out to be the people the religious right warned us about."



And the RW response?

"Most evangelicals that I've talked to became Trump voters late in the process, as their preferred candidates were not the ones who won," Mefferd told NPR. "And I think Russell Moore has made the error of saying evangelicals who supported Trump are selling out their principles."

Among the conservative leaders now going after Moore is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, himself a Southern Baptist pastor. "I am utterly stunned that Russell Moore is being paid by Southern Baptists to insult them," Huckabee says.

"Where are my pearls? I have to clutch my pearls!"



"Since Dr. Moore has taken over, there are a lot of things that are being said on various issues that the Southern Baptist people at large don't agree with," says Bill Harrell, the pastor emeritus at Abilene Baptist Church in suburban Augusta, Ga.

The Bible says Trump is immoral, but the will of the Trump-voters trumps God. SAID AN EVANGELICAL PASTOR!







And you know what never came up amidst all the fainting and pearl-clutching? Any attempt to refute Moore's argument that Christians shouldn't vote for Trump because he's an immoral person.
Was Moore wrong to say that Trump is immoral by biblical standards?
Was Moore wrong to say that Christians shouldn't vote for immoral people?

"We have no time to talk about substance! Get the smelling-salt!"

[Thinkingabout]

1. Trump will be worshipped by the religious right, he is immoral, he

Has made a lifetime of " stealing" from hard working people by simply not paying for their services rendered. He only needs to claim to be Republican.

2. Nothing new, really.

They loved Reagan, who was divorced. (Much more shocking back in the day.)

However the same thing happens on the left. The "consensus" view is that pope Frank is a wonderful liberal and we must all embrace him... while overlooking that he wholly opposes reproductive freedom and equal rights for women and the LGBTQ* community.

Hypocritical Christians exist everywhere on the political spectrum.

3. Pat robertson is a fucking billionaire

for christ's sake. He worships mammon, not god.

4. I tried to find out why a couple of my evangelical relatives were backing Trump.

What about him did they find redeeming from a religious standpoint?

***crickets***

5. He's a WASP

That goes a long way in the Evangelical community.

6. Of course, he does know all about the Bible.

Two Corinthians walk into a bar...

7. On average, how well does your average Evangelical know the Bible?

I know guys who wouldn't have even blinked at the mention of "Two Corinthians".
