Rob Reiner Puts Morning Joe in Its Place on the Media Failure to Challange TRUMP

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 11:33 am By Frank Schaeffer

It’s about time someone called the media on this! WATCH! Filmmaker Rob Reiner joined Morning Joe to discuss his thoughts on Donald Trump. He said Trump is only taken seriously as a political candidate because Trump is a celebrity. “He’s not pinned down,” Reiner told Joe Scarborough. “We have to hold these people accountable.” Reiner said the news is presented more like entertainment, “Who cares” about ratings, Reiner said. “What we have to care about is, ‘What does this man say?!’” Frank Schaeffer is a writer.

TRUMP BEAT GOD: How Could Ted Cruz Have Lost When God Promised Him Victory? (Another Evangelical Fantasy Explodes)

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 4:04 am By Frank Schaeffer

(AP Photo/Darron Cummings) Ted Cruz was called by God to run for president. His preacher dad said he knew that Cruz would win. God told him so. Cruz said God would raise up his people and elect him, that God was going to accomplish this. How could Cruz have failed? Why did God fail? Trump beat God. *** God failed Cruz because Cruz like all evangelicals was delusional. Evangelicals say we were created. We’re jumped up primates that... Read more

Here’s the best article I’ve read on the sensible journey away from the Evangelical World that Hates Our (Clearly) Queer/Trans Creator

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 5:11 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Author Deborah Jian Lee “So when I became a leader of my college Christian fellowship group, Intervarsity, I was stunned by the entrenched conservatism of so many of my Christian peers. Sure, the group had some theological and political diversity, and I had some amazing young staff mentors (some of whom were people of color) who totally got me. But the overwhelming culture resisted my initiatives on racial justice and gender equality, equated voting Republican with authentic Christianity, called homosexuality... Read more

In case you were wondering… yes the KOCH BROTHERS really are a Creation-Busting God-Hating Threat to Love, Life and Earth

Last updated on: April 21, 2016 at 3:21 am By Frank Schaeffer

Given what the Koch’s do — when it comes to raping our planet and trying to buy our political system — accepting Koch money and then naming buildings for them, is like naming a building for a serial killer. It’s not surprising to learn that the Koch brothers and other wealthy, ultra-conservative industrialists are funding efforts to roll back conservation measures across the American west. What is surprising is that the Koch brothers still can give money to places like... Read more

Evangelical Authoritarianism and Fear in America: Cruz/Trump Two Christian Failures, One Authoritarian Ethos

Last updated on: April 12, 2016 at 4:18 pm By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Donald Trump’s bizarre rise seems to prove that that evangelical voters are subordinating theology to politics—as if conservative evangelicals experience theology and politics as fundamentally separate spheres. The evangelicals love authoritarian leaders. Here is the best article I’ve read on the rise of evangelical authoritarianism and its influence on our blighted political world. It is reprinted here by permission of Religion Dispatches where it first appeared. The author is Christopher Stroop, Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholar in the History... Read more
