“'It has become virtually impossible to write a survey question about immigration policy that is too harsh for white evangelicals to support,' Robert P. Jones, the president of the Public Religion Research Institute, recently wrote."

MAGA Jesus Is Not the Real Jesus

Trump is causing incalculable damage to the Christian faith, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

"Huge numbers of American fundamentalists and evangelicals—not just cultural Christians, but also those who faithfully attend church and Bible-study sessions and prayer gatherings—prefer the MAGA Jesus to the real Jesus. Few of them would say so explicitly, though, because the cognitive dissonance would be too unsettling. And so they have worked hard to construct rationalizations."

"It’s rather remarkable, really, to see tens of millions of Christians validate, to themselves and to one another, a political movement led by a malignant narcissist—who is driven by hate and bent on revenge, who mocks the dead, and who delights in inflicting pain on the powerless. The wreckage to the Christian faith is incalculable, yet most evangelicals will never break with him."

"They have invested too much of themselves and their identity in Trump and what he stands for.

This moment, and what it reveals about American Christianity, will be studied for a long time to come."

"You're wondering what happened to your Sunday school teacher? What happened to your parents? What happened to your pastor? How are they getting behind this stuff and justifying it in some of the most, frankly, ludicrous ways imaginable?"

"Fox News did this. It is the feeder tube keeping MAGA alive, normalizing cruelty, dehumanization, and lies. Its role in the moral collapse of this country and the erosion of global trust cannot be minimized."

Yesterday Catholic VP Vance defended the use of a five-year old boy in Minnesota as "bait" to entrap his family, and the detainment of that child by ICE.

It has just been announced that Vance has been invited to address the upcoming "March for Life" which purports to be about defending the sanctity of life and has strong support by Catholic and other Christian leaders.

"Around 200 faith leaders fanned out across the city on Thursday (Jan. 22) to observe and document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with some clergy confronting Department of Homeland Security agents, adding a visible religious presence to widespread efforts to counter the president’s mass deportation campaign in the region."
