(Full title: 'He loves the Lord': Evangelicals unbothered
by MAGA candidate's Nazi rants)
***
Like I said the other day...all's you gotta do, for these
folks, is put a loud, boisterous, not-very-smart tail-
swagging male up there and, as long as they hear the name
Jesus in there, somewhere...he is Their Man...and if he's
dyed-in-the-wool rightwing enough, he can even be Black!
***
Mark Robinson, the Donald Trump-endorsed candidate for
North Carolina governor whose purported rants about being
a "Black NAZI" on a pornography forum were recently
unearthed by CNN, is reportedly not losing support among
many North Carolina evangelical Christians.
As Religion News Service reports, Tar Heel evangelicals
are sticking by Robinson despite leaving declarations of
racism and graphic descriptions of purported sexual
encounters with his wife's sister on a pornographic
website last decade.
Although they are publicly keeping a distance between
themselves and the controversial GOP candidate, they are
nonetheless expressing confidence that he will govern as
a right-wing Christian should he win this fall's
election.
“I do not know what’s true and what’s not true,” said
Dwight Frazier, a Christian who attended the recent
American Renewal Project luncheon in Henderson, North
Carolina. “Everybody has something that’s wrong in their
past and does some things they wouldn’t be proud of. I
think he loves the Lord and I think he’s trying to do the
right thing. He’s still a good man, in my opinion.”

David Lane, the founder and leader of the American
Renewal Project, expressed a similar sentiment and
emphasized to Religion News Service that Robinson is a
"brilliant" pick for North Carolina governor.
“I don’t know what’s truth and untruth in terms of the
allegations against him, but I don’t regret all that we
did,” said Lane. “He was fabulous. It’s just that, from a
biblical standpoint, Old and New Testament, man is born
in sin.”
Whether Robinson turns out to be a "brilliant" pick from
an electoral perspective is highly questionable, however.
Recent polls of the race show that the embattled MAGA
candidate is trailing Democrat Josh Stein significantly,
with Stein up by double digits in some polls.

By no means all, but many of the so-called
"evangelicals" claim the Southern Baptist Convention,
which split apart from the Baptist Convention because
they participated, promoted and believed slavery was
acceptable to the "Lord".
When one considers the evil not just of slavery but all
the cruel acts around the practice, if they can excuse
that, the evangelicals can excuse anything in the name
of God. That's who they are.

It's just...breathtakingly savage. Like someone's writing a
sci-fi story about human evolution, trying to utilize some
twistiest bent of bloody irony that's a factor, with
massive-context consequences...
Oh wait...lol...
Thankfully it'll be the humanitarian wholeness of our
species that'll be writing the end to *this* sacred story,
and not them... ;)

"twistiest bent" Might all be explained by blood
sacrifice that permeates the Desert Religions of the
Middle East.
Whatever happens such hopefulness will always be
closest to ultimate truth.
