A Pastor's Warning: We're Not in a Civil War, But a Christian Nationalist Holy War--And They Must Not Win.

The wholesale moral failure white Evangelicals have been guilty of over the past decades has been alarming, but you haven’t seen anything yet. It will get exponentially worse now that they have this unprecedented opportunity. As far as religious extremists go, they’re unmatched in their fervor, ferocity, and organization.

In vast numbers, in churches all over the country, these people have gradually but now completely lost the plot of their faith tradition, to the point that they now pose a human rights emergency to the rest of us.

They’ve long ago abandoned Jesus, discarded his compassion, and feel no obligation whatsoever to love their neighbors. Their Jesus-less Christianity runs entirely on malice, exclusion, and cruelty.

If allowed to continue to hold their death grip on all three branches of Government, Conservative Christians will render this nation unrecognizable. LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, people of color, immigrants, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again.

And YEP!!! YEP!!! YEP!!! YEP!!!
This entire right-wing cabal is going for broke.
They’ll never be this close again in their lifetime.
MAGA, ICE, Old-Testament Small “c” christians and a whole host of wanna-be warlords are slavering over this chance to bring down the behemoth and plant their flags in the heart of our Constitution.
I fear the outcome of the fall Election will be disappointing for the far-right, and their denialism will be expressed in violent confrontations and instances of sedition.
Depressing.
