Evangelicalism's Betrayal
Monday Dec 17, 2018

In this episode I talk to film-maker Christopher Maloney about his latest documentary, In God We Trump, which explores the confounding relationship between Trump and the evangelical world.
Evangelicals — one of the largest voting blocks in the United States — are wedded to Trump, and are largely responsible for getting him into office. Despite their supposed commitment to sexual morality, family values, humility, and truth-telling, they have gotten into bed with one of the most dishonest, immoral, and arrogant con-men the presidency has ever seen.
Christopher’s documentary attempts to understand this betrayal — how can a group of Christians so dedicated to personal integrity, family values, and sexual purity cast their lot with a figure so blatantly opposed to all that they hold dear? Maloney explains how this betrayal took place, and the rage and hunger for dominance that lurks beneath the pious veneer of American evangelicalism.

@32:03 Stephen talks about the "Lust for Power." I think what underlies that is the failure of the Church to effectively teach Truth (of any kind). Not recognizing themselves, they resort to "Force" to coerce the people they disdain into acquiescing to Evangelical beliefs and interpretations!
