Last fall, Jen Hatmaker, a popular evangelical author and speaker, started getting death threats. Readers mailed back her books to her home address, but not before some burned the pages or tore them into shreds. LifeWay Christian Stores, the behemoth retailer of the Southern Baptist Convention, pulled her titles off the shelves. Hatmaker was devastated. Up until that point, she had been a wildly influential and welcome presence in the evangelical world, a Christian author whose writings made the New York Times best-seller list and whose home renovation got its own HGTV series. But then 2016 happened, and, well, of course everything changed.

During the campaign, as other white evangelicals coalesced around the Republican nominee, Hatmaker effectively joined the coterie of “Never Trump” evangelicals, telling her more than half a million Facebook followers that Donald Trump made her “sad and horrified and despondent.” After the “Access Hollywood” tape leaked and prominent evangelical men came to Trump’s defense, she tweeted: “We will not forget. Nor will we forget the Christian leaders that betrayed their sisters in Christ for power.” Then, in an interview with Religion News Service columnist Jonathan Merritt, she made what was a stunning admission for her evangelical community: She said she supported same-sex relationships.

That’s when the full weight of conservative Christian outrage crashed down on Hatmaker. There were soon angry commenters and finger-wagging bloggers. She says people in her little town of Buda, Texas, just south of Austin, pulled her children aside and said terrible things about her and her husband. She was afraid to be in public, and she wasn’t sleeping or eating well. “The way people spoke about us, it was as if I had never loved Jesus a day in my life,” Hatmaker recently told an audience in Dallas. The gilded auditorium was quiet, its 2,300 seats filled to capacity with nearly all women. “And I was just an ally,” she said. “Think about how our gay brothers and sisters feel.”

There was more. Two weeks after her bombshell interview, Trump won. And Hatmaker’s community—at least 80 percent of the white evangelicals in America—had helped put him in office. “What’s been really painful and disorienting for me is to realize how far away from my evangelical family I am,” she told me in an interview before her Dallas event. “I thought we had a lot more common ground.” The fissures within Christianity became trenches, with men and women like Hatmaker, as well as Christians of color, left on the losing side. Hatmaker’s career was on the line, but so was her very sense of self, and the essence of her life and work—most importantly, her faith.

Conservatives never want to talk about their own intolerance, death threats, and physical attacks on other people's kids.

Neither do socialist....exact same kind of shit bag.

Especially the ones who hide under the label "liberal" but are nothing of the sort...actually they are worse, they don't even own up to what they actually are.

Religious fundies, whatever the religion, are probably the most intolerant people in the world.

More intolerant than the OP? Nah.

"Repent or perish, sinner!"

Yeah, real tolerant.

My way or the highway.

What else can we expect from fundy jeezoid followers of 'Saint' Saul/Paul. This torturer and death-squad leader founded Xianity whilst knowing nothing of Yeshua bir Miryam. Saul/Paul's 'revelation' enroute to Damascas for more lynchings apparently left him unable to quote his pet godling. Sad. Yeshua supposedly said that rich guys will go to Hell and his followers should abandon their families and live communally. Too bad Saul/Paul never heard that.

Of course fundy jeezoids will and do tolerate pedos, rapists, dope dealers, embezzlers, murderers, etc so long as they profess fundy jeezoid faith. Not Catholic or Quaker or Mormon or Anglican or Orthodox or Anabaptist faith, no no no. Just say you believe their specific strain of fundy jeezoid dogma and all will be forgiven. Nice racket. But totally intolerant of all dissent. Pathetic.

EDIT: Oh damn, I passed right by my post #16666 and no Beast appeared. I'm so disappointed. It's like when we second-honeymooned at Area 51 and no aliens abducted or anally probed us. Bummer.

More drivel and lies from the white man's Asian boyservant.

If it'll make you feel better, just bend over, and I'm sure someone will come along and anal probe you.

You can find intolerant dickheads in almost any group. Or as an old saying tells it, "Everyone's shit stinks."

LJ and hypoxia are of the "Everyone's shit stinks but (D)'s.....(D)'s are glorious altruistic angels who can never under any circumstances be criticized, or you're a Nazi. " clan....with extra extra EXTRA partisanship heaped on the side.



You'll be here for eternity before they come up off it at all.

This is juvenile ^^^.

Right now the dreaded (D)'s [sic] all over this country are sending emails and making urgent phone calls to Corker, Collins, Flake, and McCain, as well as to their local Republican Congressional representatives, trying to bring some semblance of sanity and civility to our national decision-making processes. Botany Boy proudly claims that he is not on either "team", but he continues to promote a binary world view of good and evil, based on whether or not you are a (D) or a (D) sympathizer.

Botony Boy, consider that you might be a bit partisan yourself, and stop worrying about the fact that some individual Democrats might have called you a Nazi along the way.

BozoBoy apparently forgot that I refer to Dums and Gups. I am personally aligned with neither faction of the DumGup mugwump coalition, although I do note that Gups have actively signed-on with Satan, whilst Dums just sort of tag behind, trying to douse fires.

IOW Dums are fairly inept but Gups are positively toxic and treasonous. Get the ropes.

ObTopic: Non-Gups DO listen to Gup and alt.right opinions. Then laugh at them, or vomit -- but certainly don't fall for the crap. We see the Lying-Sack-Of-Shit-In-Chief as a role model for slime. We'll observe the slime but avoid stepping in it.
