Presupposionalism: Roy Moore’s god overlooks every single sin of people of his faith ‘cuz they can have no error, believing as they do in their “god”:
To many of Moore’s supporters, this is a powerful message. They believe that if you have the right principles, all other truth follows. Without God, there can be no morality. With God, and with a good man like Moore, there can be no error. This mentality, known in Christian scholarship as “presuppositionalism,” sustains evangelical support for President Trump, according to Molly Worthen, a professor at the University of North Carolina, who explained the phenomenon at last week’s Faith Angle Forum in Miami Beach. People who think this way dismiss inconvenient facts. When the Washington Post goes after Moore, and when Senate leaders tell him to drop out, Moore’s believers rally around him.

Information is not valid unless it comes from the revealed “truths” of the Bible:
www.nytimes.com/…
And who gets to “reveal” these “truths”? Evangelical white males, that’s who, evangelical white males like Roy Moore who cannot tell a lie, no matter what, ‘cuz the god Roy Moore made in his very own image told him so.
Out and out idolatry, worshiping gods made in their own image, that’s what it is.
And, if you worship these false gods you can believe that climate change is not real, that evolution is “a myth made up by scientists who hate God”, that capitalism is God’s ideal for society. You don’t have to believe in facts and evidence.
Faith-based misinformation that leads to other evils such as teen pregnancy and STDs as a result of “abstinence only” sex education.
Presuppositionalism. Bah humbug!
