“It may be immoral for [evangelical leaders] not to support [Trump]."

When Helm asked Falwell Jr. whether Trump could do anything to lose his support, he responded: “No.”

Later in the interview, Falwell Jr. appears to attack impoverished citizens, saying they offer little to society. “A poor person never gave anyone a job. A poor person never gave anybody charity, not of any real volume,” he said.

"Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.'"
 
Many of these evangelicals sure love to lick his boots. Manchild doesn't even accord with Christ's teachings, but they stay kissing his ass. Yet, the previous family man was the anti-christ? It is quite telling.

They don't worship God, they worship genealogy (wink wink) and money.


The mention of Reverend Wright in...


Exactly!

I recall what Robert Anton Wilson wrote about that: "The way I read the story, it means that God does not draw class distinctions. But the way the priests told it, it meant you had to give something no matter how poor you were."
 
Literally could have been said by any current evangelical about 45.
 
The way Robert Anton Wilson (an Irish-American) told it, "I think that the point of the story is that God does not draw class distinctions," but, the way the priests told it, it meant that you had to contribute something no matter how poor you were. The collection basket would be shown on every aisle, and you had to contribute something -- the basket, hovering over your lap, would not move on until you had put something into it. Goddamn Catholics! :mad:
 
BusyShitstain is in snoozeville right now. Wait 'til morning when he and the rest of the schleps wake up. :D


Old fuddie rightie club members tend to be highly active in the mornings up until noon.

Yup, it's past their bedtime.
 
The is no nobility in poverty.

There is in the eyes of Christ. But, what does that matter to you?! Actually, it means nothing to me, either -- Christ is the Abomination of Desolation! But, the Beatitudes are nevertheless worth listening to! Learn that, slave! And you are indeed are a slave, because you are not worthy to be anything better!

Falwell is something of a prick, but I think he is being misquoted in the OP.

Especially since The Donald's "business acumen" is mostly a lack of ethics.

You can read the actual interview here. Just straight up questions and answers.

It's exactly what he says.
 
It’s like the trick test in elementary school; read the last line:

Duh.

Interviews are always paraphrased in print, or they'd be littered with "um", "ah" and broken phrases. Cause people don't converse like they write. Some less than others.

"and condensed". So he also said more. Whoop de do.

While Falwell’s comment may have been inartfully expressed, I think your characterization of Falwell is insipid. It is true that poor people generally do not employ others, nor, as individuals, do they donate significant sums to charity: they cannot. Been there and [not] done that. A statement of fact does not “attack” poor people.

Why do you want to falsely characterize Rev. Falwell?
