Enthusiasm for a candidate like Trump gives our neighbors ample reason to doubt that we believe Jesus is Lord. They see that some of us are so self-interested, and so self-protective, that we will ally ourselves with someone who violates all that is sacred to us—in hope, almost certainly a vain hope given his mendacity and record of betrayal, that his rule will save us.

His Stable Genius of Unmatched Wisdom has sent Pompeo on a mission to the evangelicals in Tennessee, and Barr on a mission to the Catholics at Notre Dame. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/10/14/trump-administration-fans-out-defend-christianity-across-political-spectrum/

What we had this weekend, then — intentionally or not — was an administration defending the intertwining of Christianity with government on three tiers: Pompeo speaking broadly to Christians of every stripe, Barr speaking to conservative Christians more specifically and Trump targeting hard-right, political evangelicals.

That may simply be a reflection of the speakers and audiences. It was also, though, certainly an opportunity for an embattled White House to bolster its bases of support

With apostles like these, for a false god like him, His Stable Genius is corrupting the gospel and making it impossible for Americans to hear it.
