“They have chosen to believe that Democrats are godless, so their choice is to go with a party that at least likes them.” Progressive Evangelical Pastor Doug @Pagitt tells @MehdiRHasan his experience with confronting right-wing Evangelicals.

Sorry Pastor Doug. They are not conflicted - they appear to be just mean racists.

Politicians in general don't believe in God they just pretend to.

They've been told by right-wing media, for 30 years, that Democrats are not just godless, but unAmerican. The right doesn't have ideology. It has a massive self-esteem and self-worth drive. "My enemies are evil. Therefore I am good." The left needs to understand this.

My experience with God/religion has been that our actions speak louder than our words. I see Dems acting in "christian" ways &, without knowing their affiliation, or even if they believe in God, I know they are behaving as God would want us to. Ditto for Rs-actions are godless.

If they don’t address their internal conflict they’ll soon find their choices are taken away Religion has no place in politics Your religion is a personal choice btwn you & yr god of choice Gov’t, Justice, & Law & Order are secular realms, not God’s realm 🇺🇸can’t bcm a theocracy

Huh. Interesting theory. Not sure I buy it. The evangelicals I encounter seem to hate the libs. They don’t seem meek and as if they just want someone to pay attention to them. Sounds like a crock to me. I don’t think they are telling him the truth.
