I can’t really comprehend how evangelical Christians find this man to be at all acceptable. In fact, he’s treated as some sort of savior. Major disconnect.
Evangelical’s whole platform is divine authority to rule. It ties right in with colonialism, white supremacy, and fascism. “I’m right 'cause I say my god said so”. But I also believe that most Christian’s today would crucify Christ all over again as a communist.
Yet, they don’t seem to accept Biden even though scripture is pretty clear:
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
It’s easy when you understand that their moral framework is actually completely hollow, and their independent moral intuition is completely atrophied to the point that they are unable to conduct even basic moral synthesis.
Religion, as we know it, has always been a framework for social control and cooperation. The morality bits have always served this end, so it’s not really surprising that in our modern context they just dispense with any moral pretenses as soon as they are in obvious conflict with their power aspirations.
Yep, the thing they like about religion is handing all the messy decisions over to a central authority. Just put your trust in the right authority and you don’t have to worry about anything! Which authority is the right one? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you!
I suppose because they don’t really believe or understand what they claim to be their philosophies. Look at all the BS that Christians have happily indulged in over the centuries such as slavery, other racist oppression, child and spousal abuse and colonialism. The culture also trains people to accept whatever authority figures have to say. I think that some Christians who actually do engage their faith in an intellectual sense (to whatever extent that is really possible) have rejected him for being obviously immoral. I mean, the guy not just indulges in but personifies each of the seven deadly sins… sloth, greed, lust, vanity, pride, gluttony, and wrath.

Because in their eyes he’s the ‘non political’ politician just “saying what’s on all our minds”
They would vote in a potato salad if they thought it was racist enough.

I saw lots of crosses among the rebels on Jan 6.
You can’t make them read their own book.
It’s a fairly unreadable book, really. Well… to be fair, some parts are very interesting and others are unreadable. It could use an editor.
I think they would call him the anti-Christ
