Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—'turn the other cheek'—[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added.

Some people still think evangelicals are christians apparently.

what has millennia of the "no true christian!!!" arguing accomplished?

if someone calls themself a "christian" then that's what they are, and they're using the same stone age book of tall tales to argue why they're the only true christians

fuck religion altogether, i say

No, seriously, there's been a shift in the way the people use the word evangelical. I'll have to dig it up, but I saw a street interview recently where a reporter person is interrogating a man identifying as an evangelical who when prodded on the teachings of Jesus responded with "I don’t believe in all that Jesus stuff, I'm an atheist". Apparently a lot of people are identifying as evangelicals as a political identity, not as a religious identity. Evangelicals literally are no longer Christians anymore.

i guess i shouldn't be surprised that right-wingers have yet again redefined the human capacity for being paralyzingly stupid
