The Paranoid Delusion of White Evangelical "Christians"

[OKTexas]

Who is it that does not believe in getting vaccinated? Who is it that denies climate change? Who is it that is consistently bigoted, homophobic and hate filled? Who is it that lacks formal education beyond high school? Who is it that centers their belief system around what a televangelist is telling them (often to send more money so he can upgrade his Learjet?)

I remember these people well during the W. Bush years, but they are morphing into something even more sinister and grotesque than they were.


In addition to shrinking as a share of the population, white evangelicals were also the oldest religious group in the United States, with a median age of 56. “It’s not just that they are dying off, but it is that they’re losing younger members,” Jones told me. As the group has become older and smaller, Jones said, “a real visceral sense of loss of cultural dominance” has set in.

White evangelicals once saw themselves “as the owners of mainstream American culture and morality and values,” said Jones. Now they are just another subculture.

From this fact derives much of our country’s cultural conflict. It helps explain not just the rise of Donald Trump, but also the growth of QAnon and even the escalating conflagration over critical race theory. “It’s hard to overstate the strength of this feeling, among white evangelicals in particular, of America being a white Christian country,” said Jones. “This sense of ownership of America just runs so deep in white evangelical circles.” The feeling that it’s slipping away has created an atmosphere of rage, resentment and paranoia.

QAnon is essentially a millenarian movement, with Trump taking the place of Jesus. Adherents dream of the coming of what they call the storm, when the enemies of the MAGA movement will be rounded up and executed, and Trump restored to his rightful place of leadership.

“It’s not unlike a belief in the second coming of Christ,” said Jones. “That at some point God will reorder society and set things right. I think that when a community feels itself in crisis, it does become more susceptible to conspiracy theories and other things that tell them that what they’re experiencing is not ultimately what’s going to happen.”

Yeah, it has to be just white evangelicals that are hesitant about taking the vaccines, OH WAIT....................

Farrakhan dismisses coronavirus vaccine as 'toxic waste'

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan discouraged viewers from getting the coronavirus vaccine, implying that it was part of a government conspiracy meant to lower the Black population.

Farrakhan is a real moron.. He invented his own racist religion. You don't want to follow Calypso louie.. He's dumb.

So you have a problem with folks pointing out facts? BTW a lot of folks do follow him.

We have hoards of diseased illegals who never saw a vaccination in their lives infiltrating the borders every day but the (bigoted) angry left worries about evangelical Christians. Talk about paranoid.

evangelicals are the next target in line for the evil marxist left ....

Well if Revelations is right, they are just getting warmed up.

But really, any ideology or authority that challenges the Left must be destroyed.

It matters little what it is.

See what I mean. Revelation tells you quite plainly that John, your brother in tribuation is telling you what will soon take place before this generation passes. He tells you there won't be another Temple..

Instead you all follow Scofield, Hal Lindsey and the fututists... and you expect Gog and Magog and the Rapture.

Revelations tells us plainly about not taking the Mark of the Beast in the right hand or forehead. Something that is already being done

This presents a problem for Leftists because people will now go to their graves not consenting to such government control.

It is not a matter of if, but when they will make us all do this.

They organized in 1909 in Philadelphia in reaction to science and modernity. Its quite an interesting story.

Yes, any religious group from 1909 is directly comparable to fundamentalists today, just like if you are white today you should pay reparations for what whites did hundreds of years ago.

Very sell said.

What are you talking about? They decided the Bible was to be studied literally, they embraced the Scofield heresy and Christian Zionism... and fostered the Scopes Monkey Trial. It was a reactionary period against science and modernity.

Evangelicals still reject science and education.

I've never met one who thinks a man can be a woman

Right.. They beliee in armageddon and the rapture.

They could be correct. I don't but who knows

Not if you have an education.

Education has little to do with faith.

Education also will tell you a man can't be a woman... that and common sense. Something leftists lack evidently

Do you know the difference between biology and psychology?

Biology says a man is a man. Psychology is needed when psychos think otherwise. Leftist idiots are stupid.

Who is it that does not believe in getting vaccinated?

Who is it that believes in shooting up experimental drugs with no accountability that have harmed many people for something affecting only a tiny percentage of the population for something that can't even rid us of the virus first before it is already morphed to a new form and the pharmas are already saying we need boosters for?

Who is it that denies climate change?

Who is it that can't explain why a little car exhaust can destroy a planet where 4.5 billion years of super volcanoes, asteroid impacts and other calamities did not?

Who is it that is consistently bigoted, homophobic and hate filled?

Who is it constantly expressing bigotry, hate and phobia over anyone who simply wants to live a NORMAL life and keep the same rights we've had for 250 years? Then goes manic over the ONLY riot in 9,000 they DIDN'T start, finance and support?

Who is it that lacks formal education beyond high school?

Who is it that 99% of the people here can run circles around discussing anything technical involving higher learning so they have to compensate by attacking OTHER people's education?

Who is it that centers their belief system around what a televangelist is telling them

Who is it that fears God so much he puts down other people's beliefs?

Who is it that does not believe in getting vaccinated? Who is it that denies climate change? Who is it that is consistently bigoted, homophobic and hate filled? Who is it that lacks formal education beyond high school? Who is it that centers their belief system around what a televangelist is telling them (often to send more money so he can upgrade his Learjet?)

I remember these people well during the W. Bush years, but they are morphing into something even more sinister and grotesque than they were.


In addition to shrinking as a share of the population, white evangelicals were also the oldest religious group in the United States, with a median age of 56. “It’s not just that they are dying off, but it is that they’re losing younger members,” Jones told me. As the group has become older and smaller, Jones said, “a real visceral sense of loss of cultural dominance” has set in.

White evangelicals once saw themselves “as the owners of mainstream American culture and morality and values,” said Jones. Now they are just another subculture.

From this fact derives much of our country’s cultural conflict. It helps explain not just the rise of Donald Trump, but also the growth of QAnon and even the escalating conflagration over critical race theory. “It’s hard to overstate the strength of this feeling, among white evangelicals in particular, of America being a white Christian country,” said Jones. “This sense of ownership of America just runs so deep in white evangelical circles.” The feeling that it’s slipping away has created an atmosphere of rage, resentment and paranoia.

QAnon is essentially a millenarian movement, with Trump taking the place of Jesus. Adherents dream of the coming of what they call the storm, when the enemies of the MAGA movement will be rounded up and executed, and Trump restored to his rightful place of leadership.

“It’s not unlike a belief in the second coming of Christ,” said Jones. “That at some point God will reorder society and set things right. I think that when a community feels itself in crisis, it does become more susceptible to conspiracy theories and other things that tell them that what they’re experiencing is not ultimately what’s going to happen.”

White evangelicals can't tolerate becoming just another subculture.

Speak for yourself. No one else seems confused

I'll take them over antifa or BLM any day of the week. So while I am not their biggest fan, we have much much worse groups in America doing much worse than they ever did.

Poor Dems apparently.
