re: #177 HappyWarrior

So your opinion having grown up in the community that it’s more cynical than actually believing that Trump or Ronnie before him actually believes in Christ and all that but as long as he does their biding. I tend to agree especially for people like Franklin Graham, Falwell Jr, and the prominent Evangelicals. I do think it’s more naivete on the lower level from people who are influenced by people like those guys.

Yeah, it’s not quite as simplistic as it appears on the surface, but you’ve basically nailed it. When you think about it, the people below the head honchos are basically just sheep; brainwashed and indoctrinated, they do whatever their evangelical guides tell them to do, as long as it’s couched in the right religious mumbo-jumbo. In the meantime, the religious superpowers are only focusing on the one pet issue that bugs evangelical teachers more than anything else: ABORTION. Get that right, and you’ve got the power of God on your side, no matter how completely un-Christian your life is. And then that trickles down to the rank and file filling the pews every Sunday via the information bubble of the Bible belt.
