A schism is forming within evangelicals. Misogynists and base hypocrisy are being exposed.
If you have time, please read this article from The Daily Beast about several powerful women within the evangelical movement not toeing the party line. www.thedailybeast.com/...
One, Beth Moore, described as ‘enormously popular’, is having none of it:
“I’m one among many women sexually abused, misused, stared down, heckled, talked naughty to. Like we liked it. We didn’t. We’re tired of it.”
About fellow evangelicals leaders still supporting Trump, she says,
“Try to absorb how acceptable the disesteem and objectifying of women has been when some Christian leaders don’t think it’s that big a deal.”
‘Disesteem’
In this context, that seems a hugely powerful word. And I imagine her followers feel the same way.
I’ll quote one more paragraph that highlights the coming reckoning within the evangelical movement:
Despite their disappointment, women Christian leaders see some light at the end of the tunnel, and they hope that this election will finally separate evangelicals who misuse faith for partisan ends from those seeking to advance the cause of Christ. As Katelyn Beaty said, “my hope is that more Christian men will stand up for their friends, wives, daughters, coworkers, and siblings in Christ and refuse to align themselves with a leader who is and will continue to be bad news for half the human population.”
And that’s the bottom line for me. I don’t mind anyone hewing to their faith and beliefs. But when they form a toxic alliance with a corrupt political enterprise, they deserve no tolerance.
