MAKE A NOTE

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/evangelical-explains-how-religious-leaders-became-subservient-to-trump-and-triggered-the-true-sissification-of-christianity/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5423

For those who try to understand religious institutions, this is a very useful and thought-provoking essay.  Maybe I'll come back to it and post a blog about this idea of the believed embattlement thinking of Evangelicals, even as they think God will make them rich.

But I do wish the reporters would stop saying "traditional" when what they really mean is "19th Century."  Most of what these "traditional" Christians defend is merely what their grandfathers thought.

I like that word "sissification" and want to think about it more.
