This isn’t the usual Chotiner interview where he runs rings around some idiot — it’s something that is, to me, significantly more troubling: a conversation with a clearly intelligent man who has totally released himself over to the Devil, and will not see it - ThreadSky

Not sure where you guys have been but evangelicals have been acting this way for *decades*!

I think you are being far too kind to Mohler, who has spent his whole lifetime advocating for theocracy, white supremacy and patriarchy, and who helms an organization that has furtherance of those ends as its mission. He has certainly released himself to the metaphorical Devil, just not recently.

To boil it down: he will joyously welcome any amount of sin and cruelty and human suffering to hear a president say at his inauguration that he really hates trans people.

I don't know what this guy worships but it is not Christ.

Peter’s warning is coming true.

“Be vigilant. For your enemy, the devil, goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

And so is Matthew’s:

“And many false prophets will arise and deceive many.”

I may not be a believer anymore, but the book is one heck of a psychology book.

I was raised Southern Baptist. They’re finally letting their mask down.

There is an absolute crisis at the heart of American Evangelical Christianity right now, one as desperate in its way as the widespread simony and indulgence-peddling of the late Renaissance

I think it’s genuinely kind of sad, the way these people cannot see how they enthusiastically profane the name of God

I don’t know that my opinion as an agnostic Jew matters very much, but I feel like Christians deserve better and should demand better of their leaders and of themselves

Watching this as a catholic has been wild. Seeing people basically profane themselves to stay with the flock definitely cemented a few things for me

Yeah it’s been bad watching the turn inside some of the Catholic community too
