Quote:Trump cabinet Bible study leader has a new plan to aggressively expand ‘Christianizing’ of government officials
Quote:As reported by Right Wing Watch, Ralph Drollinger’s Capitol Ministries (the group that leads the executive and legislative Bible studies) are holding their first meeting of “Global Directors” at the newly-opened Museum of the Bible, which is owned by the same family that owns Hobby Lobby. According to an update Drollinger posted, “speakers will include several U.S. White House Cabinet Members, Senators and Representatives.” They also seek to “Christianize” state and local government officials.
Drollinger’s beliefs, as reported by RWW and other outlets, tend towards excluding women and non-Christians. He thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to teach men about the Bible, that Christians in power should only hire fellow Christians and that God only listens to followers of Christ.
As far as I am concerned this jesus asshole is a useless prick just based on his "followers."

When offered choices Between evangelical Christianity and any other form of popular stupidity and superstition, one has little chance of doing very wrong if one always pick any other form of popular stupidity and superstition over evangelical Christianity.

So, are they going to get Trumply to repudiate and rebuke wives number 2 and number 3 ???
Might as well start by cleaning your own house first, right ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I like to point out to Christians that nowhere in their sacred texts does it say that Christianity must be the "ruling religion," nor does it even say that Christians should try to influence the government. It's supposed to be a heavenly kingdom right? Lay not up your treasures, right? Give unto Caesar, right?
I'd like for someone to point out the scriptural basis for Christendom. Fundamentalists like to claim biblical guidance. Where do they get this from?

Besides, being the 'party in power' screws up their beloved persecution narrative. It's hard to credibly whine like a bitch about how "the world" opposes you when you have your proxies' fingers on the levers of power.
Then again, I don't look to evangelicals for integrity or honesty. As a group, they sold their souls decades ago.

IDK, the RCC practically owned most of Europe for centuries, yet they still managed to act persecuted by literally every other religion that existed in any country nearby, and some that were quite far away!
These assholes mastered majority power persecution complex centuries ago.

The issue you speak of is far more wrapped up in Byzantine political realities and really dates from the 4th and 5th centuries when the fucks really were the only game in town and set about persecuting their own who did not live up to the strict dictates of the imperial court and a handful of scumbag bishops who were in their pockets. I highly recommend "The Jesus Wars" by J. P. Jenkins for a fascinating look at what these psychotic fucks were up to.
