There is behavior that's so self-evidently deranged that merely seeing it should lead to fury and disgust. I'm concerned, however, that some evangelicals are so influenced by Trump that they won't unite with their Catholic brothers and sisters in response to Trump's blasphemy and intolerable attacks on the pope, but will instead turn against them.

Trump is playing Christians. He needs them to stay in power. They are the base that has proven to overlook what should disqualify him. Some Christians are fully aware of this and are playing along, mutually benefiting from the seat of power. Some are just woefully ignorant.
I miss the Mr. Rogers type of Christian. The one that models meekness, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience - basically the type of Christian man that would be considered a Beta male today.
@BenjaminSWatson He’s correct that creating life requires consent between man and woman.
But he contradicts his own premise by using that argument to support abortion, which is the non-consensual act of taking another life.
Also, it’s just horrible interpretation on his part.
@bennyjohnson Better that he use the Quran than to falsely claim the Bible.

@StevenCheah Also why are calling so many run plays? We have three of the best wideouts. Although when we do pass Baker is unreliable. I wonder if his shoulder is still an issue. We’re just bad all around. Major disappointment.

This is as far back as we can get good data on white evangelicals.
In 1960:
61% were Democrats
30% were Republicans
In 2020:
16% were Democrats
78% were Republicans
Members of the clergy were asked - "would you perform the wedding of a same-sex couple if your religious group allowed it?"
33% of Catholic priests say that they probably would.
63% of mainline pastors.
<5% of evangelical and Black Protestant pastors.
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Here’s the question that I did not get to ask on @ChrisCuomo’s show last night:
——————
A recent UCLA policy lab study said 75% of homeless people suffer from addiction and 78% suffer from mental illness.
These numbers are abysmal, yet NYC’s current drug policy is centered around enabling addiction.
1,458 smoke shops have opened recently, and NYC department of health encourages safe fentanyl use, safe injection sites, and just released their first free crack pipe vending machine.
Does anyone seriously believe we can ever get our homeless population sober, healthy, and working while also having progressive drug policies that enable further addiction?
