(Photo YouTube) “Get out of your bubble everybody!” says Moore, Amen! So please WATCH this, if nothing else on Trump and the election. “I’m sorry to be the buzzkill… but I think Trump is gonna win,” as Moore told Bill Maher last night.

Watching Pence I’m wondering again: what is it about people who “accept Jesus” that makes them so weirdly slickly-phony? Ideas? Comments? Here is what some (very perceptive) FB friends had to say

Last updated on: July 21, 2016 at 11:14 am By Frank Schaeffer

The question is do Jesus-following white American evangelicals of the left or right, turn into smarmy flakes because they get “saved” or do smarmy flakes gravitate to Jesus? * Watching Mike Pence even if I knew nothing about him as he spoke at the GOP convention I’d know he was a born again evangelical. * How? * Here is what some of my Facebook friends think (and thank you all!) but first maybe I can spot the white born-again...

Mike Pence Denies that Smoking is Harmful to your Health (seriously) as well as Evolution and Climate Change… Other than that…

Last updated on: July 20, 2016 at 12:26 pm By Frank Schaeffer

During a 2000 congressional race debate, Mike Pence defended an op-ed he wrote arguing that “smoking doesn’t kill.” Pence said there was no direct “scientific causal link medically identifying” a connection between smoking and lung cancer, according to a local newspaper report uncovered by BuzzFeed News. On Monday, BuzzFeed News reported Pence wrote an op-ed in 1997 equating the health risks associated with cigarettes with those associated with candy. Pence was defending the tobacco industry, which had been successfully sued by some... Read more

Trump to Republicans: The only thing we have to fear is people who won’t buy into perpetual fear

Last updated on: July 19, 2016 at 11:58 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo: The Morning Call) The Republican Party/NRA/Trump attempt at a coup against American values of bravery, hope and fearlessness (see Kennedy, Reagan, Lincoln et al) is now a white supremacist cult of death. Period. As was made abundantly clear on the first day of their bizarre “convention” all they have to offer is fear as their “answer” to how to motivate voters. They offer a lose/lose proposition to America: violence and fear of violence, guns and more guns, war and more... Read more

The key bulwark of faith-based Trumpism is the prosperity gospel: To the evangelicals (both right and left) lying and money are the real “gospel” so “He’s one of us!”

Last updated on: July 16, 2016 at 7:49 am By Frank Schaeffer

(AP Photo/Richard Vogel, File) (photo www.rollingstone.com) Evangelical Christianity in America became a get-rich-quick scheme long ago. So it’s no wonder that millions of prosperity gospel-following downtrodden white evangelicals who forgot to start churches of their own (and get rich) see Trump as one of their own. For a start he’s just like their preachers and leaders: a comforting fraud who holds out hope of winning life’s lottery. According to a new Pew poll an astonishing four fifths of white evangelicals are Trump supporters.... Read more
