According to the New York Times, four-fifths of white evangelical voters plan to cast their ballots for Donald Trump. After all, according to Dr. Dobson he’s a “new” and “born-again” “baby Christian.” Never mind his multiple marriages, hatred of Hispanic evangelicals, black Roman Catholics, everyone that is but white supremacists. White evangelicals thus define themselves as more or less members in good standing of the KKK, according to the poll of religious voters, released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.... Read more

According to the New York Times, or rather according to what the Times reported James Dobson told them: Donald J. Trump has become a born-again Christian. “That is the suggestion of James C. Dobson, one of America’s leading evangelicals, who said Mr. Trump had recently come ‘to accept a relationship with Christ” and was now “a baby Christian.’” Dobson, gave his account at a meeting Trump had in New York on last Tuesday with hundreds of Christian conservatives. Dobson said he knew the... Read more
Love her or hate her we know more about Hillary Clinton’s faith than about any political leader’s faith since Billy Graham was kissing up to Nixon and praying with him in the oval office. This was before Kissinger took over that pray-with-Nixon task while Graham ran for the hills to cover his Nixon-endorsing butt after Watergate. Post-Nixon, Billy Graham told my dad (the late evangelical evangelist and religious right founder, Francis Schaeffer) that he’d sworn off politics, let alone endorsing candidates. Too... Read more
