Donald Trump as the New Father of Lies

Shocked evangelicals didn’t object to children in cages and forcibly separated from parents by ICE? Don’t be! Evangelicals were fine with W. Bush using torture. If you’ll accept torture as okay, after that anything is permissible. The transcendent power of faith is already gone.

Evangelicals have changed their point of view from being transcendent witnesses to the teachings of Jesus on this earth, to being an apocalyptic cult, waiting for the end times.

Note how even Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz recently pointed out on Jim Bakker’s show; they don’t care that Trump is evil. What he did to the Kurds was ok, because it opened the doors for Syria, Iran and Russia to destroy the state of Irael, bringing about the biblical end times and armageddon.

Evangelicals aren’t even pretending to be good anymore. They have thoroughly sold out their faith to the New Father of Lies, Donald Trump.

Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend’s death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God—an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with a lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. Available now at Amazon.
