Courage is contagious

On the heels of Christianity Today's editorial...





Christianity Today update

Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli said on Sunday that his evangelical magazine has seen a surge in new subscriptions since it published his scathing editorial calling for President Trump’s removal from office.

[...]

“We have lost subscribers, but we’ve had 3 times as many people start to subscribe,” he continued.

It's Sunday

President Trump’s reelection campaign announced that it will launch an “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition in the new year after Christianity Today, a flagship evangelical magazine, released a scathing editorial calling for the president’s removal from office.

President Trump will headline the event in Miami on January 3, the Miami Herald reported.

Evangelical feud - update

That Christianity Today article really got to him.

He's still tweeting about it.





And the world has been the worse for it, I might add.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Evangelical feud with Trump!

This is quite a surprise to me.
Christianity Today, the evangelical Christian magazine founded by televangelist Billy Graham, called for Donald Trump’s removal from office following the president’s impeachment, marking a significant split from what has typically been Trump’s staunch base.

The editor-in-chief, Mark Galli, wrote: “The facts in this instance are unambiguous: the president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents.

“That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral,” he wrote.

That's rich, since they didn't seem to consider all his actually profoundly immoral acts (sexual predation, lies, personal attacks on people who disagree with him, money-laundering, stiffing contractors, etc.) profoundly immoral.
“We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath,” Galli continued. “The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president’s moral deficiencies for all to see. This damages the institution of the presidency, damages the reputation of our country, and damages both the spirit and the future of our people.”

[...]

“This president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration.”

“He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals,” Galli wrote. “He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone – with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders – is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused.”
Better late than never, I guess.
“To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: remember who you are and whom you serve,” Galli wrote. “Consider how your justification of Mr Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come?”
Most of us already don't.

And here's Trump's unsurprising tweet response:



First of all, it's not ET, and secondly, you never read it in the first place, idiot asshat.

Also, no Evangelical is progressive.
