Religion is irrational to start with, so expecting rational behavior from religious people is foolish. Actually expecting rational behavior from anyone is probably foolish, it is just more foolish in this case.

(4,066 posts)The evangelicals arose during the split between Northern and Southern factions of the major denominations due to the split over slavery. The Southern Baptists and the evangelicals are still all racists. They make a show of saying the things they're supposed to say in public. In private, they still favor things like the n-word, faggot, and one I heard before I escaped the South "Sand n-word" to describe Arabic people. They only love the Jewish people when they are returning to Israel to bring about the Rapture. They don't want them in their neighborhoods anymore than anyone else who isn't a WASP.

(11,428 posts)These people are Dominionist/fascist. Their goal is to make the world bow down to their beliefs. The Muslims have Shira law, these folks have Christian sharia ("Charia" . The United States is the Dominionists' stronghold and seizing control of the US is the movement's first major objective. Dominionists are the direct, Christian equivalent of Islamists demanding Sharia law.

(31,395 posts)is a scene from the TV show The West Wing where President Bartlet tears one of them a new one.
The evangelical crowd are all so ignorant, so self-righteous, and so judgmental.
And that malignant narcissist? Sociopath? Pathological liar? Con man? Adulterer? I bet he was creaming his pants to be the center of attention of all that laying on of hands.

(14,858 posts)The majority of Christians voted for Trump in 2016, and much of his support today is frankly Christian in nature - many Christian churches are preaching that support for Trump is essentially a tenet of their Christian faith.
Non-Christians, on the other hand, voted for Clinton by wide margins, including non-Christian religious people.
