Are you an evil evangelical? If you’re a Christian, then you probably are. According to Right Wing Watch, “California’s religious-right leaders have rallied around an effort to recall the state’s Gov. Gavin Newsom, and many are backing the campaign of right-wing radio host Larry Elder. A group of Christian nationalist and dominionist pastors in California have declared their intention in recent years to transform the state by turning out enough conservative evangelical voters. … Asked about his faith and how it would help him govern, Elder said, ‘I don’t understand people who are not people of faith.’ Elder told the NHCLC crowd that his pastor is Calvary Chapel Chino Hills pastor Jack Hibbs, an intensely political pro-Trump pastor and ally of Christian nationalist political operative David Lane. Hibbs recently prayed that God would forgive Californians for electing ‘people with antichrist’ worldviews, ‘like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris.’ Hibbs used a recent Sunday worship service to promote Elder’s candidacy.”
Of course, my tax dollars subsidize these evil and vile people because churches are tax-exempt even though they clearly preach politics and hate. Indeed, they should lose their tax status for doing so, but they won’t because nothing ever changes. Whatever! America is a puritanical country of religiosity, ala the Taliban. There really is not much difference in some states. Just ask Texas. Welcome to stupid America where religious freedom is killing democracy — all religions are anti-democratic by definition!
