They sit in their pews two to three times a week and listen to and believe every word the preacher says to them. They are not allowed to think for themselves or interpret scripture according to how they read their Bible. I questioned this fellow parent along the lines of my more liberal Christian (Disciples of Christ/ Christian Church) upbringing I had experienced for she seemed to be fairly intelligent though not college educated. She was somewhat amazed that I was allowed to think for myself in my church. It had never dawned on her that it was a possibility.<br /> <br />So if many other evangelicals are like this woman they listen to the guy in the pulpit (Trump?) and follow like sheep. He is preaching to their baser instincts which even their ministers would not do. The fact that he is behind a podium and certainly thinks of himself as god like must be a natural for many of them. My question would be whether Trump is aware of what is actually going on or if he just lucked into it and is riding that wave.<br /> <br />I’m a little worried and it all makes me a bit sick to my stomach. All the while knowing the Republicans will be using their dirty tricks as a party through the election and continuing with a Democratic president being elected. I sure hope Hillary hangs on to be elected because it feels like the only sanity out there. Then I hope there is a strategy in place to keep the Republicans from dragging her off task as they tried with Bill for his entire 8 years. <br /><br />Will it never end?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
