I don't even take Evangelicals as if they're serious Christians anymore. They're one of the most likely religious groups to get divorced/remarried, have premarital sex and children born out of wedlock, be against policies helping the poor, and have little knowledge of the Bible. The religious beliefs of most Evangelicals are arguably not even Christian anymore; it’s the Cliffs Notes version of the New Testament.

This one GOP rep is the symptom of a larger problem.

Evangelicals are 26% of the US population, so there is a greater probability you will see these things happen to Evangelicals over any other religion.

Then own up to it. My beef with Evangelicals is their incessant need to create a Theocratic nation, especially when their version of theocracy revolves around the suppression of opposing ideologies. And on top of that, the religious hypocrisy coming from Evangelicals is mind-boggling.

They should be called out for the faux-Christianity. Every. Single. Time.

It's a political movement pretending to be religion.

My beef with socialists is the incessant need to create a government dependent nation, especially when their version of "democracy" revolves around the violent suppression of opposing ideologies.

You act as if Capitalism with social safety nets equates socialism. Like we don't have that now.

Oh no, people should have the right to healthcare. DAMN SOCIALISTS!

But yes, enjoy one of the many theocratic states in the world. I hear the Saudi Kingdom is nice.

Are there any Christian ones? Asking for a friend.

BTW, Vatican City doesn't count.

I'm honestly not sure. There are many nations where Christianity has a large dominant role in society and politics though. They might not be theocracies in a technical sense, but the separation of state and church is severely blurred...which is what the founding fathers painstakingly avoided.

I have Evangelical friends. I completely oppose them politically and think their religion is a joke (and they know), but I share beers with them. That's the beauty of America.
