Never mind the arguments for or against the existence of
God, or the historicity of the Resurrection. None of that really matters.
Evangelical Christianity, by and large, is simply an arm of the Republican
Party.
A recent poll indicated that 44 percent of American
evangelicals thought that Donald Trump had a high moral character. The only way
this is possible is that those evangelicals believe that Christianity consists
not just of obeying the Republican party, no matter what, but obeying the most
extremely vicious wing of that party. These evangelical Christians have no
freaking idea what Christianity even is, and its doctrines make absolutely no
difference to them in their personal lives. For them, Christianity is a total
fucking lie. For them, Christianity consists of an automatic weapon, aimed at
you.
Of course, there’s the other 56 percent. But they get
shouted down by the 44 percent. They really have no influence on the
Evangelical scene.
From this I conclude that we can dismiss evangelical
Christianity as a total waste of time, as evil, and as a threat to the future
of the world. There are many evangelical Christians who are not like this, of
course; I know some, and so do you. Some of them are truly fine people. But as
a movement, as a set of churches which you might consider joining, I would say,
stay away from evangelical Christianity as far as possible. They are
disgusting.
All readers of this blog undoubtedly knew this. But you
might not have had a number to associate with it. The number is 44.
