According to fundamentalist mega-church pastor John Hagee, \u201cGod will hold America responsible\u201d for not electing Mitt Romney.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe>\n<\/p>Hagee rattles off the normal list of political sins: gay marriage, abortion, and socialism. But it seems to be that last one that really sticks in his crawl.<\/p>\nSure, the early church may have sold all their possessions and shared everything in common, but if anyone messes with John Hagee\u2019s 401K they will apparently have hell to pay.<\/p>\nLiterally.<\/p>\nIs it just me or are these sorts of political preachers finally beginning to lose some steam?<\/p>\nObviously, their rhetoric is as bombastic as ever, but I don\u2019t think as many people are listening.<\/p>\nAt least, that\u2019s what the election seems to indicate.<\/p>\nRomney didn\u2019t lose because evangelicals are now a minority in America and no longer have the numbers to sway an election.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/theamericanjesus.net\/?p=8383\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Romney lost because evangelicals voted for the other guy<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn other words, evangelicals stopped listening to the never ending parade of chicken little sermons about the fall of America and the impending judgment of God if they didn\u2019t vote for the right candidate.<\/p>\nSure those guys and their followers are still around and probably always be around, but I think we may be witnessing a beginning of a decline in their influence.<\/p>\nAt least, that seems to me like it might be the case.<\/p>\nI hope I\u2019m right.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 According to fundamentalist mega-church pastor John Hagee, \u201cGod will hold America responsible\u201d for not electing Mitt Romney.
