Evangelicals are simply an insult to the Christian faith!!

Evangelicals are not an insult to be h Christian faith. But they do have a clear choice now. Do they actually believe in the values they espouse.?

A church was attacked and innocents were injured. There was a freaking calvary charge. It was before curfew. It was done for a photo op. There was no prayer. There was no reflection. The sacred was defiled.

Evangelicals don't care. The main reason evangelicals broke away from mainline denominations is because the mainline churches stopped supporting bigotry. The rise of evangelical churches has been a direct backlash against mainline churches supporting civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights.

Some of which they will argue are against biblical teachings. The protestant reformation of Martin Luther was similiar in some aspects.

The previous head of the Episcopial Church for example is famous for denying Jesus's divinity, even Rt. Rev Budde is actually on the record for saying the same thing. In addition to the Episcopal church's standing on a number of social issues that directly contravene the bible. You can't really be selective on what you believe.

Everyone cherry-picks what parts of the Old Testament they believe. No one believes all of it. Many evangelicals love the authoritarian damnation parts more than they love Jesus.

Attorney General William P. Barr ordered law enforcement officials on the ground to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square, which is adjacent to the White House, just before President Trump spoke Monday, a Justice Department official said.

Who's in charge of the Park Police? It's not the Attorney General or the Department of Justice.

I read it was the "federal police" that did the gassing and I wasn't even sure what that meant. Is the Park Police a federal agency? Are we talking about the Secret Service or another federal policing body?

Yes, the U.S. Park Police is federal. It’s part of the National Park Service which is part of the Department of the Interior.

Washington Post said National Guard Military Police were the main force.

Why don't the Democrats impeach him a econd time for this? He's used military force against his own people , US citizens exercising their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble. Is this not a high crime?

Where are the Democrats? Why can't they get rid of this maniac?

Are the Republicans all fascists? GOP used to be a reasonable party, way back in Bush's day. Now it's the American Fascist Party.

There is no point in impeaching again unless the Republicans have changed their position. They have made it clear they have not. They are still bootlickers.

The Attorney General still doesnt have the power or right to order them to do anything. Did the Secretary of the Army refuse?

And, it looks like their plan actually worked.

WTF is wrong with you? People were “escorted out”? Did you read the account from the church’s pastor about running from the gas? Because none of this had anything to do with Cheeto’s photo op 10 minutes later?

I want some of what you’re smoking.

So Trump gassed and evicted protestors AND the church’s own priests.

Guaran-damn-tee you the church was notified that the President was coming. What they chose to do with that warning and what happened afterwards? It's on them.

NP. I heard the account of the Bishop on air, live. They didn’t know. Trump was acting impulsively.

—
“Let me be clear: The President just used a Bible, the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese, without permission, as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus,” she told Cooper.

Asked by CNN’s John Berman on “New Day” Tuesday if the President is a frequent visitor to the church, Budde said “no, he’s not,” adding, “He is not a man of prayer on Sunday morning.”

“We know that. And he is not one to worship at St. John’s regularly or any of the churches of our diocese,” she said.

“This was a charade that in some ways was meant to bolster a message that does nothing to calm — to calm the soul and to reassure the nation that we can recover from this moment which is what we need from a President, and that’s what the faith communities stand for.”

Denying the resurrection/divinity is a pretty big thing. It's one of the central tenets of the faith.
