All About FAR RELIGIOUS RIGHT Evangelical Mike Pence (a follower of my dad’s work) : Trump’s VP Pick

Last updated on: July 15, 2016 at 12:47 pm By Frank Schaeffer

According to breaking news Mike Pence (a man who loves my dad’s books) will be Trump’s VP. In other words the unholy marriage between the evangelical far, far, far religious right and Trump is now consummated. As a detailed article in the Indianapolis Star points out since his early days in politics, Mike Pence has always described himself as “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.” I guess being an American comes a distant third to theology and...

New Poll: Four-fifths of white evangelical voters plan to cast their ballots for Donald J. Trump– Goodbye Even a Pretense of Following Jesus

Last updated on: July 13, 2016 at 1:12 pm By Frank Schaeffer

According to the New York Times, four-fifths of white evangelical voters plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump. After all, according to Dr. Dobson he’s a “new” and “born-again” “baby Christian.” Never mind his multiple marriages, hatred of Hispanic evangelicals, black Roman Catholics, everyone that is but white supremacists. White evangelicals thus define themselves as more or less members in good standing of the KKK, according to the poll of religious voters, released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.... Read more

An Interview With Minister (turned moviemaker, the one and only) Richard Rossi

Last updated on: July 1, 2016 at 6:32 am By Frank Schaeffer

“The fakes make you dependent. ‘Give us $3000 to learn the gifts of the Spirit. Sow a seed to us to get blessed,’ they say. They aggrandize their personality cult and finances. They increase their stature with titles like Doctor, Bishop, Apostle, Prophet. This increases their authority to manipulate.” Read MORE: This exclusive interview With Minister turned Moviemaker Richard Rossi by novelist Katie Andraski about his controversial film Canaan Land.

Photo TARYN BRUMFITT (Facebook) WATCH this video before some Donald Trump-Clone-Pig tells you or your daughters or granddaughters that their breasts are the “wrong” shape or that they are “too big” or “too small.” Trump even was discussing his own baby daughter’s breast size not long ago on TV!

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 5:51 am By Frank Schaeffer

According to the New York Times, or rather according to what the Times reported James Dobson told them: Donald J. Trump has become a born-again Christian. “That is the suggestion of James C.

Trump: “defending American (white) Christians”

Last updated on: June 25, 2016 at 1:34 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Love her or hate her we know more about Hillary Clinton’s faith than about any political leader’s faith since Billy Graham was kissing up to Nixon and praying with him in the oval office. This was before Kissinger took over that pray-with-Nixon task while Graham ran for the hills to cover his Nixon-endorsing butt after Watergate. Post-Nixon, Billy Graham told my dad (the late evangelical evangelist and religious right founder, Francis Schaeffer) that he’d sworn off politics, let alone endorsing candidates. Too... Read more
