Its no problem to be married more than, well, twice
Lets be clear here. Were not talking about polygamy (sorry, Mitt), only serial marriages. This revision has been a long time in the making. Yes, Jesus said: Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
Through the 1970s, we evangelicals ostracized anyone who was divorced, let alone divorced and remarried. But then we decided to ditch a family man (and fellow evangelical) in favor of a divorced and remarried Hollywood actor in 1980. Once that barrier was breached, we concluded that, hey, if two marriages are okay, why not three?

(36,779 posts)Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.
They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness.
Like today's evangelical/religious right supporters, Trump is a Political Christian, not a Christian of faith.
Evangelicals/religious right are easily able to spin their beliefs for political expediency.
The Donald who does not have to ask Jesus for forgiveness.
The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion.

Other than that, I'm good.
I don't think they let you into the higher echelons of the Republican Party until you've violated all the Ten Commandments and raped a farm animal or child as well.

Screaming like little children about Obama wearing a tan suit of using Dijon mustard gets old. They have to change their play-list every once in a while, so now they point to the inequities they whined about with Clinton to rationalize the current behavior of their Sacred Cow.
