Thanks for Nothing, Franklin Graham/ Jerry Falwell Jr. Rot in Hell.

May 10, 2020No CommentsFrank Schaeffer

No other advanced nation was as unprepared for the pandemic as was the US because no other nation was living under the rule of the fantasy-land of magical evangelical “thinking” of the white evangelical voting bloc. This block (not Putin alone) gave us the craven fake Trump- and then enabled him – NO MATTER WHAT – lies he spewed to stay in office.

No other nation has loosened lockdowns and other social-distancing measures while deaths are increasing, as the US is now doing because no other nation has men like Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell Jr., Ralph Reed and other evangelical leaders and preachers shilling for a deluded thug leader like Trump.

America is the only advanced nation where the death rate is still climbing. Three thousand deaths per day are anticipated by 1 June. That’s because America has an evangelical voting bloc dedicated to BOTH theological magical thinking and Trump’s mirror-image fantasy.

With 4.25% of the world population, America has the tragic distinction of accounting for about 30% of pandemic deaths so far. Why? Because America has an evangelical voting bloc that gave us Trump and that STILL enables him up and to including armed thugs invading state houses!

Elsewhere around the world, governments are providing generous income support. Not in the US where there is white evangelical voting bloc that ALONE is responsible for gifting us with the worst president in US history. 

No other nation has endured as much death from Covid-19 nor nearly as a high a death rate as has the United States because no other nation has Trump for president and the white evangelical party of delusion—evangelical Christians—and their hate that’s kept him in office.

Thanks for nothing, Franklin Graham/Jerry Falwell Jr., Ralph Reed. Rot in Hell.

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.

In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a bohemian novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshipping” Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the United States Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family’s experience of the Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. Available now at Amazon.
