Trump Cabinet Bible Study Pastor Says Its Libelous To Call Him A Christian Nationalist. Hmm.

[Initech]

Ralph Drollinger, the man who leads Bible studies for members of President Trump’s Cabinet and members of Congress, is claiming that The New York Times has libeled him, contending that a January 6 op-ed wrongly portrayed him as a “Christian nationalist.” Drollinger’s organization, Capitol Ministries, has posted online his January 17 letter to the Times’ executive editor, Dean Baquet, demanding a retraction and space in the paper to make his case.

Katherine Stewart’s commentary called the new Museum of the Bible a “safe space for Christian nationalists” and discussed a training session Capitol Ministries held there in November. Capitol Ministries quickly labeled the column “fake news” and published a post saying that Drollinger disavows the terms “Christian nationalist” and “dominionist.” Unlike some Religious Right activists, Capitol Ministries said, Drollinger does believe in separation of church and state and does not believe the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation and therefore does not believe it needs to be restored as a Christian nation.

Well. Let’s talk about some terms, and let’s look at Drollinger’s own writings.

Drollinger’s letter to The New York Times equates the terms Christian nationalism, dominionism, Christian Reconstructionism and theocracy, and says it is “character assassination” to accuse him of “embracing a philosophy that promotes a Church-controlled government.” According to Capitol Ministries, “Drollinger does not believe in Christian-run nations because that concept is not Biblical.”

If you have to clarify you're not a Christian nationalist, you probably are.

1. Taken at face value, he's either very ineffectual or lying out his ass.

He hangs around with and runs Bible Studies for Christian Nationalists and Dominionists who want to bring this country under their version of Biblical Law, yet claims he believes in the separation of Church and State.

He can say whatever he wants, but it sure sounds like quacking from his direction.

3. If he willingly hangs out with Trump, I'd say he's lying out his ass.

Trump and his fans have not exactly been known to be truth tellers.

4. I've been trying to think of a suitable term that is shorter and easier to say
