    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Perhaps you can link us up to some examples of PostmodernProphet speaking for God, then, silly Billy.

    I'll wait.

    Evangelicals praying over Trump (Photo: Screen capture)
    DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

    Evangelical Christians have drawn ire since overwhelmingly supporting President Donald Trump during the 2016 election. But one former evangelical, who left the church, suggests they made a deal with the devil so they could get the legislation they’ve always wanted.
    According to Guardian writer Josiah Hesse, Trump has “bragged about his sins and built a career on casinos and half-naked women,” but evangelicals saw him as an opportunity and agreed to mobilize their voting bloc in the churches to elect him.
    “Evangelicals know he’s not a real Christian,” Hesse explained. “But they’re pragmatic about overturning Roe v. Wade, and generally agree with his economic plan of deregulation, lowering taxes and keeping undocumented immigrants out.”
    It’s a philosophy rumored to have inspired congressional Republicans in making a deal with Trump.
    “Many Republican members of Congress have made a Faustian bargain with Donald Trump,” wrote David Brooks for The New York Times shortly after Trump took office. “They don’t particularly admire him as a man, they don’t trust him as an administrator, they don’t agree with him on major issues, but they respect the grip he has on their voters, they hope he’ll sign their legislation and they certainly don’t want to be seen siding with the inflamed progressives or the hyperventilating media.”
    Republicans saw the rare opportunity to have every single branch of government controlled by a single party — their party. Though, as Trump has begun attacking members of his own party, they’re starting to have buyer’s remorse. The evangelical community, however, is still hanging on, as Trump’s board of faith-based advisors has remained intact.
    “I don’t think that he’s a believer, but he cares about evangelicals,” evangelical Christian and Trump supporter Jay Eike told Hesse. “The tweeting drives me crazy. But evangelicals think his policies are more important [than his behavior].”
    The same story was true for former President Ronald Reagan, who became a messiah for evangelicals. Being the “reformed” sinner who came back to God also helped George W. Bush secure the image of a prodigal son the community should align themselves with.
    Hesse argues that evangelicals like that Trump wants to “shake things up.” Jerry Falwell Jr., Liberty University president, told ABC News he liked Trump because the president doesn’t cave to the politeness of “political correctness.”
    “For evangelicals, pissing off liberals and defending unpopular opinions makes him appear more like one of them,” Hesse explained. “What seems like an imploding presidency to some, appears as a heroic martyr against liberalism to others.”
    He went on to quote Jesus, claiming, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven.” The more hated a person is, the nearer a Christian can be to God. Given his approval rating, Trump is getting closer and closer.
    Great article, Bill. This part is what I've thought right from the beginning:

    “Many Republican members of Congress have made a Faustian bargain with Donald Trump,” wrote David Brooks for The New York Times shortly after Trump took office. “They don’t particularly admire him as a man, they don’t trust him as an administrator, they don’t agree with him on major issues, but they respect the grip he has on their voters, they hope he’ll sign their legislation and they certainly don’t want to be seen siding with the inflamed progressives or the hyperventilating media.”

    Republicans saw the rare opportunity to have every single branch of government controlled by a single party — their party. Though, as Trump has begun attacking members of his own party, they’re starting to have buyer’s remorse. The evangelical community, however, is still hanging on, as Trump’s board of faith-based advisors has remained intact.

    What's that supposed to mean? Catholics don't elect the Pope, he's chosen by the College of Cardinals.

    I can grasp it though for I have been forgiven much.

    I have seen you give thanks notifications to the most foul and repulsive racists and misogynist posters here. Posters who routinely call black people n*gers, women cunts, gay people faggots, and routinely assert the superiority of the white race over the inferior "darkies".

    You have given them thanks notifications, made common cause with them, and provided them safe harbor.

    You are not only unlike any real Christian I have ever met, you are a terrible judge of character who freely associates with the worst kind of scum in cyberspace.

    I haven't seen that.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Trump doesn't ask God for forgiveness, that pretty much summed it up for me.

    You truly believe a narcissist like Trump has had a change of heart? That really is a stretch!

    Liar. You hated Trump as soon as you knew he would be a candidate for the GOP. If he'd been a Democrat you'd be fluffing for him.

    Imbecile.

    It's especially cute when they pretend to be in a position to lecture others about Christianity.

    Evangelicals are not real Christians, either. They are grifters and assholes who wear religion on their sleeve as a shield from criticism for being assholes and grifters.
