A Pastor's Warning: We're Not in a Civil War, But a Christian Nationalist Holy War--And They Must Not Win. [View all]

The wholesale moral failure white Evangelicals have been guilty of over the past decades has been alarming, but you haven’t seen anything yet. It will get exponentially worse now that they have this unprecedented opportunity. As far as religious extremists go, they’re unmatched in their fervor, ferocity, and organization.

In vast numbers, in churches all over the country, these people have gradually but now completely lost the plot of their faith tradition, to the point that they now pose a human rights emergency to the rest of us.

They’ve long ago abandoned Jesus, discarded his compassion, and feel no obligation whatsoever to love their neighbors. Their Jesus-less Christianity runs entirely on malice, exclusion, and cruelty.

If allowed to continue to hold their death grip on all three branches of Government, Conservative Christians will render this nation unrecognizable. LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, people of color, immigrants, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again.
