Condemned out of his own mouth

RtO has often had harsh things to say about Christians (and about other religionists but more about Christians because I know them better) but never anything as bad as this:

Falwell Jr said the Democratic party and its supporters were “no longer liberals – they’ve become fascists, they’re Brownshirts. You believe like them or you’re out.

“Poor Kanye West,” he said, referring to criticism of the star for wearing a Make America Great Again baseball cap. “He dared to have his own opinions and look what they did to him.”

He added: “The most intolerant people in the country are those that preach tolerance.”

As someone who grew up surrounded by evangelicals -- but not an evangelical myself --  this is hilariously obtuse.

I was not at all surprised that Falwell, the evangelical demigod, would describe Trump a a moral man. Trump really does embody almost all of the moral values that evangelicals actually live by: lying, fornicating, stealing, cheating, self-praising.

Roman Catholicism preaches that the greatest, almost unforgivable sin, is pride. That is about the only doctrine of Catholicism I still consider valid. No identifiable group is more prideful than evangelicals.
