If Trump won't denounce white supremacy then maybe evangelicals

[applegrove]

can in his place. Afterall that is their job... to set the moral tone for the country. We already know what catholics and protestants preach on the issue. What are evangelicals doing? We can all ask them to politely. No more letting white supremacists hide behind evangelical christian 'robes' - the evangelicals will not have it now that they know.

1. Modern Christianity is a death cult. They are as useful and responsible as Jim Jones and followers

[EffieBlack]

2. Lol

[applegrove]

3. I think we should ask them to. All of us. Politely. And not stop asking

until it is a national story. You know so white supremacists can't hide behind evangelicals robes anymore.... did i say robes?......I meant robes! When the president does not do his job then religious leaders must step forward. Come on effie spread the word with me: evangelicals need to denounce white supremacy because it will save lives.

4. It would've been like asking the Brownshirts to condemn National Socialism

No, they are his, and he is theirs.

5. We can still ask the question again and again because it is important.

And we can ask it every few weeks. Until they do what any true christian would and denounce white supremacy.

14. Okay

What exactly is a "true" christian and where does it say they have to denounce white supremacy?

Evangelicals will follow Christ only so long as it brings in the money and gives them access to secular power...they are obsessed with power, control, cold hard cash...and the belief that Jesus was actually a white guy in a brown man's body!!!

6. My question for evangelicals,

Whom would you call the least among us?

[DetlefK]

7. Bwahahaha!!! Evangelicals don't give a shit about anything but gaining political power.

Donald Trump. The most un-christian US President ever. A sex-obsessed, cheating, lying servant of Mammon.

And what was the very first move of the Evangelicals when he showed up on the political scene? THEY tried to rebrand HIM as one of them, because THEY wanted a part of HIS political power.

[atreides1]

12. He is one of them

The only difference between Donald Trump and the Evangelicals that support him is...Trump is a sex-obsessed, cheating, lying servant of Mammon out in the open...Evangelicals have been that way for decades, only in hiding!!!

8. 22% of white evangelicals think businesses should be able to refuse service to African Americans

"if it violates their religious beliefs"

What are the evangelicals doing? Well, one expressed sympathy for the child migrants and said "we can do better than this":

and the ultra-rich president of Liberty University (a position inherited from his dad) and top dog in evangelical politics Jerry Falwell Jr shot him down with a rant about how he hasn't run a business, so how dare he have views on morals:

There you have modern American white evangelism in a nutshell - whoever has the money gets to decide on the country's morals. And it this case that means fuck those children, because they're brown.

The white supremacists aren't hiding behind the white evangelicals. They are white evangelicals, and Falwell is an example.

9. Why would Trump denounce his base!

A base that consists of Evangelicals...who are proud to wear those robes, you know the white robes that come with a hood...

[applegrove]

11. We've moved passed Trump. We are onto those lovely christians

who preach to potential white supremacists known as evangelicals. They need to denounce them every month i would think so that fine young men don't get caught up in evil.

15. As long as the head is alive

The body will follow...and Trump is the head!

[Girard442]

10. Evangelicals and White Supremacists are one and the same.

[Wounded Bear]

13. LOL!!! They won't even acknowledge that their "God"...

probably looked more like Osama bin Laden than Dolph Lundgren.
