Nice to see not all of them are on board the Hate Express :)

But more need to speak out against hatred and violence.

A far-right religious group with ties to Donald Trump loyalists Roger Stone and retired Army Lt Gen Michael Flynn, is planning events with pastors in swing state churches in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere to spur more evangelical backing for the former US president’s 2024 campaign.

But the group, Pastors for Trump, is drawing sharp rebukes from mainstream Christian leaders for being extremist, distorting Christian teachings and endangering American democracy, by fueling the spread of Christian nationalism.


“This kind of overt embrace of white Christian nationalism continues to pose a growing threat to the witness of the church and the health of our democracy,” said Adam Russell Taylor, the president of the Christian social justice group Sojourners.

“This pastor and this effort are trying to impose a Christian theocracy. It’s imperative that Christian leaders of all backgrounds including conservative ones speak out about this effort as a threat to our democracy and to the church.”

“Tragically, far too many pastors have confused political power with religious authority and have thrown their lot in with Trump, no matter the cost to their ministry. Pastors for Trump is the next step in this unholy alliance, mixing Christian nationalism, election lies and vitriolic language in a gross distortion of Christianity.”

I think it's a good thing that the Christian mainstream is starting to speak out against Christian Nationalism.

I agree that anytime Christians speak out against their fundy club members, it's a good thing. At least they are not silently enabling the extremists among them to gain power. That is a hopeful sign, IMO.

Maybe some of them put their finger up in the air to see what they should believe next. The wind hopefully is changing as they see more and more disgusted people leaving the pews.
