why are the business people leaving, but the evangelicals

[mopinko]

are silent?
i mean, wtf?

1. Evangelicals are the Christian equivalent of Jihadists.

Why would they condemn someone who is giving them what they want?

2. The plutocrats are a lot more pragmatic than the evangelicals

They want to do business with everybody because it's simply more profitable. But I don't care why people do the right thing as long as they do the right thing.

3. Business people stand to lose customers. They understand logic & reason.

People who believe in fairy tales, there's no reasoning with them. Would their hero Jesus be against healthcare, anti-tolerance, anti-immigrant, pro-facism, pro-tax cuts for the rich? Doubt it, but explain that to Xtians.

4. Perhaps they're all hoping that this will hasten "The End Times" & they'll get sucked up

to heaven or whatever it is that they believe. Whatever the case, it shows me that CEOs are more likely to do the right thing than religious people. Money/boycotts are powerful motivators; their immortal souls, not so much. They remind me of the quote by 17th Century philosopher Blaise Pascal: "Men never do evil more completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

5. If all the fucked up stuff so far hasn't done it, this surely wouldn't either

6. Trump hates all the same people they do so it's all good.

7. The religious right is a vampire

Draining everything mystical, spiritual, and justice-related from religion... turning it into a cold machine that is a part of power, profits, dominant narratives, and the status quo.

8. The evangelicls lack morals.

9. to be honest, this was a rhetorical question.

they will be the very last to bail.

10. The silence was expected. No surprise to me .Just glad pat Robertson has been silent that's welcome

[Takket]

11. because they are frauds and white supremesists themselves
