“But I’m less worried about the political ramifications of this than I am this ongoing cycle of demonizing one group after the other. That just can’t keep going like this, we can’t keep living like this as a society — something has got to give.”
I find it disturbing that even at the point of renouncing MAGA, they cannot resist equivocating.
To me, this is saying “we’re going to wring our hands and furrow our brows and still vote for him”
Russell Moore is awesome. Been a huge fan of his for a long time. Got me to actually buy a subscription to ChristianityToday when he became Editor in Chief.
He got kicked out of the SBC ages ago though. He was the head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Council, which is the public policy arm of the SBC. The Executive Council ran him out back in 2016 for saying refugees were people and that maybe the SBC should be doing more to combat internal sexual abuse.
If you haven’t read some of his stuff from around that time, I highly recommend it. Some of the stuff that went down is absolutely insane, and I have made mad respect for how he managed it all. Hugely upstanding dude.
This Church Leader DOESNT Represent the Religion! Donald Trump who never goes to Church doesn’t know how to hold a Bible and had a Golden Statue made of himself for CPAC DOES!
My mother broke our “no politics” rule that saved our relationship in 2020 this morning. She said someone told her this was really happening (she’s not super online) and upset me terribly. I couldn’t function for work for about five minutes after. I’m ashamed of her terrible politics.
