The only really religious people are people with no religion. The others are all paying (tithing in some cases) to sustain hypocrisy and shallow materialism.

... the pastor should have added "Note, we will only tolerate these actions if they are committed by our political or spiritual leaders."

That is it, in a nutshell. Hypochristianity is only concerned with Teh Gays and Baby Killing™. What a bunch of soul-selling poseurs.

And It would be an interesting experiment if it turned out Trump had gay lovers. However I don't want to think about that one too much!

... if the one who commits a homosexual act has enough money/power among the Evangelicals. Oh, and of course, he has to tell us "god" forgave him, and he'll never, ever, do it again, honest.

Religion is and always has been the problem. I love this cartoon as it reinforces what I've known my entire adult life. Religion is such a fraud and it does give cover for the awful behavior of der trump our first dictator fully supported by the Russian KGB cabal headed by the kremlin and putin. I think our democracy is at serious risk. Please, everyone who love democracy, get out and vote in every off year and special election in your states. We need to take back our democracy from the crazy putin style dictatorship coveted by trump and his cronies. And, also to put religion back where it truly belongs in the dumpster of history. Humans, please evolve!

Practice what you preach does not seem to be the norm for our radical religious right and evangelicals.

The bar is henceforth done away with.
It was just a hindrance, everybody says so.
The Democrats did it.
They're the ones who put the damn bar there in the first place.
It stifled PROGRESS!
Now skip gaily along with no impediment to your blessed passage.

Slip and slide
Tweet away
"No", tomorrow
"Yes", today

Rant and bluster
That's sure OK
The debased are with you
Anyway

Evangelicals love Donald - many mulligans

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/week-god-42118

First up from the God Machine this week is a look at Donald Trump’s relationship with politically conservative evangelical Christians, which actually appears to be strengthening, despite controversies that would seem to push in the opposite direction.
