Does character matter to evangelicals any more?

[playtime]

No it doesn't.

buying trump bibles with taxpayer cash to furnish public classrooms, whilst not allowing the torah, & god forbid - the quaran bought with taxpayer cash .... certainly does,

And - The President of the United States - TWICE.
You lose commie.

lol ...

FAFO.

 

[BULLDOG]

And the Democratic party has led the way with that.

Your morals couldn't mean much to you if you are blaming Democrats for your moral failures.

We know that Trump is far from a perfect human being but results is what matters. He has been the most consequential President since Lincoln.

Hitler was pretty consequential too.

 

[knuckles]

Hitler was pretty consequential too.

In the wrong way.

 

[BULLDOG]

In the wrong way.

Just like trump.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Hitler was pretty consequential too.

You just can’t help yourselves. If everything is Hitler nothing is Hitler. Congrats on completely making Hitler references irrelevant.

who's on first?

You don’t appear to have the ability to focus or convey a coherent point.

No doubt evangelicals have become a major force in politics. Their rise to power was fueled by groups like the Moral Majority and their insistence that character matters. Jimmy Carter was said to be unfit for the presidency because one of his interviews was published in Playboy magazine. Clinton's affair with an intern was seen as a personal affront to all that is good. With Trump, character doesn't seem to matter. Evangelicals are even proud of his lapses in honesty claiming that God is using a flawed man to do his will. Does character still matter, or does it just not matter for trump?

Well, when Evangelicals have a choice between a party who murders innocent children and brags about it or a party who is against the murder of innocent children, isn't that showing moral character?

Disregarding moral choices is what repubs have done to justify support for that felon.

The right has always claimed moral behavior was their thing. You either have them or you don't. What someone else does does not change your morality, yet your morality has drastically changed.. Do you think they are judged on a curve?

The moral thing to do is vote against the Baby Killer Cult.

Stick to shitting on dead kids, Scumbag. You lost your own thread.

The Democrats don't.

Look at the Trump family vs the trainwreck Biden family. All you need to know.

They have to deflect. They've sold their soul to a con man who is essentially the opposite of the Jesus they claim to follow.

Obviously their "faith" isn't what they claim. And REAL Christians remain horrified over what has happened to their religion.

History

When Southern Baptists Were Pro-Choice​

July 17, 2014
by Joshua Holland
Conventional wisdom holds that the rise of the religious right as a political force to be reckoned with during the 1970s and 1980s was driven by conservative Christians’ intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. But Dartmouth College’s Randall Balmer writes that “the abortion myth quickly collapses under historical scrutiny.” He notes that “it wasn’t until 1979 — a full six years after Roe — that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but …. because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right’s real motive: protecting segregated schools.”

When Roe was first decided, most of the Southern evangelicals who today make up the backbone of the anti-abortion movement believed that abortion was a deeply personal issue in which government shouldn’t play a role. Some were hesitant to take a position on abortion because they saw it as a “Catholic issue,” and worried about the influence of Catholic teachings on American religious observance.

Shortly after the decision was handed down, The Baptist Press, a wire service run by the Southern Baptist Convention — the biggest Evangelical organization in the US — ran an op-ed praising the ruling. “Religious liberty, human equality and justice are advanced by the Supreme Court abortion decision,” read the January 31, 1973, piece by W. Barry Garrett, The Baptist Press’s Washington bureau chief.

Religious bodies and religious persons can continue to teach their own particular views to their constituents with all the vigor they desire. People whose conscience forbids abortion are not compelled by law to have abortions. They are free to practice their religion according to the tenets of their personal or corporate faith.

The reverse is also now true since the Supreme Court decision. Those whose conscience or religious convictions are not violated by abortion may not now be forbidden by a religious law to obtain an abortion if they so choose.
