Evangelical leader unleashes righteous fury on Donald Trump the golden calf candidate
Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, posted a series of withering tweets as Trump spoke to what he described as a record crowd at a mandatory convocation at the Virginia university founded by Jerry Falwell.
He compared the real estate tycoon and reality TV star to the biblical golden calf, which Moses found his brother, Aaron, had made for the Israelites to worship while he was away receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai.

Evangelicals can love a golden calf, as long as Aaron promises to make Mexico pay for it.

but if we can get a whole shit load of evangelicals to stay home in November - or even better - vote for a third party candidate, it's all good.

who have spent generations getting people to worship Republican Jesus - you know, the one who hates:
1. Brown people
2. Poor people
3. Foreign people (since Jesus was, obviously, a great American!)
4. Women
5. Gay folks
6. Etc.
have only themselves to blame when these same followers can't or won't distinguish between one made-up idol and another. Chickens meet roost. Reap meet sow.
Good. It's exactly what they deserve.
