(14,863 posts)Most of them are sincere in their Christian faith, although they interpret the book somewhat differently than liberal Christians do. Keep in mind that they do not believe the allegations are true. All over Alabama, you can bet that many of today's sermons were about how Satan is trying to bring down Roy Moore because he's such a strong Christian and champion of the faith.
people here dont realize that voters in Bama probably see this as outside forces working against "God's chosen man" for this position. So even if they do believe it, they probably just assume that was years ago in his previous life.

(33,012 posts)Denies reality. You cant interpret Christ preaching to feed the poor by thinking what he really meant is the poor are lazy and dont want to work and thats why they dont have food.
Or interpret the greatest of these is LOVE by saying hate people who are different than you.
A simple look at the beatitudes. These people are not Christian, they do not follow Christ or the things he stood for.

They'll assume it's all a hit piece from the so-called "liberal media" anyway.

Blew my mind. My wife was expecting me back from the convenience store, so I dropped the idea of "interfering" in some way despite how I thought the girl was a minor. I could've been wrong about her age too, of course.

(14,863 posts)I was 16, and my 44 year old dad took me to get a food handler's permit for my new job in a restaurant. I sure wish I could remember what my dad said while we were waiting for me to get my TB test, but I don't. It wasn't anything inappropriate, I'd remember if it was. Whatever it was, it got the attention of the receptionist, who asked us in all seriousness, "Oh, are y'all engaged?"

(11,258 posts)Results like this eliminate any doubt whatsoever as to what the evangelical movement is and has become, which is a hollow shell of hypocrites who are more concerned with pushing their crazy "values" on everyone else, as opposed to demonstrating any concern with the actual wellbeing of their fellow citizens.
I'm not saying that all evangelicals are hypocritical frauds, but those who aren't need to start pushing back against what is essentially a complete takeover of their movement.

(12,448 posts)Self-described good Christians anyway. And yes, they ARE Christians; like many, they cherrypick what to believe and cheerfully discard the few good things in the Bible. Remember, Mary was only 14, like it says nowhere in the Bible.
