Hard to separate religion and politics when so many things involve a bible..Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong, because sometime in your life, you will have been all of these. Dr. Robert H. Goddard

The topic of this thread is about Republicans and God, which really stems from the strong connection to the evangelical right. This naturally leads into their hypocritical support of Trump given that he promised to champion their cause(s). Some people feel this gambit largely failed as even the conservative judges that he appointed didn't follow through on abortion or LBGTQ rights legislation as they hoped. Others think that they gained under Trump. Personally, I think the GOP/evangelical right alliance (or dependance) is fighting a losing battle with the changing religious demographics and attitudes towards racism and hate and that Trump's admin actually hurt them more that it helped. The attached article suggests that the GOP/Trump admin actually hurt religion in general by trying to advance the special interests of 'Christian nationalists'. So, does the GOP continue the deal with the Devil?
People of faith have suffered under the Trump administration’s attacks on civil rights, religious freedom, and health and economic well-being.

If anything, they more fit in with ruthless 3rd world countries than modern societies.Last edited by Gwelfgulfer; Feb 24, 2021, 01:25 PM.

The comment that the electorate only has a short memory span really does apply to lots of Americans.

why is it that when people criticize islam for some of the abhorrent practices carried out in certain countries they are always considered Islamophobic but when people criticize the religious conservatives in the U.S., it's a 'logical conclusion'?
