Discussion: Jerry Falwell Jr. Plans To Vote Trump Even If Sexual Assault Stories Are True

He clearly does not really believe in God…

There is no compelling case that he can make for his eternal redemption. Call it a version of Pascal’s wager…

Apparently “Render unto Caesar” means voting for whomever the fuck you want regardless of how radically his words and actions diverge from your “sincerely held” moral principles.

Falwell: “Money doesn’t smell”

You want to put babies on spikes while running for president? This would be Falwell’s response:

“It is not up to me to forgive anybody,” Falwell said. “I’m not, I’m not Jesus Christ. It is only Jesus who can forgive. And he can forgive anybody. All of us, we’re all redeemable. And like I said, Jesus was accused of being a friend of sinners when he was here on Earth. And it is not up to us to forgive. It is up to us to decide who would be the best president of the United States, who would take the right position on the issues to make America great again.”

By the way, Falwell Jr. also tried to pivot to Clinton’s e-mail during that interview. It didn’t go well…

“I think he’s been through a change in the last four or five years,” Falwell said. “I think he’s been influenced strongly by his children, by his grandchildren. And I don’t think he’s the man he used to be.”

Christianist knows nothing about the drumpfster. He’s been the same man for at least 30 years, and it’s only now that the spotlight is on on him in major way we all see it. As to children and grandchildren influencing him, other than in campaign strategy which he eventually ignores, he’s not involved in his childrens’ and grandchildrens’ live. They’re all stage props at rallies.

@inversion pivot to Clinton’s e-mail

It wouldn’t be a day on the trumpaign trail if they didn’t pivot sooner than later to email.

No one named Falwell has demonstrated they know even the first thing about actual christianity.

“Just so we’re clear. I would rather kiss Mr Trump’s ass repeatedly than give the slightest respect to any woman. I would do this for the small chance of getting a tiny slice of power and influence”

“I can’t answer a hypothetical question,” he said. “You’re saying if, if he murdered somebody, would I forgive him? That’s like asking something as ridiculous as that.”

brb, I need to Google something.

This is not at all even the main issue in this story, but this is the second story we’ve seen today which shows that Falwell clearly has never read the Bible. In fact, according to the Bible, it is up to you to forgive others.

Ephesians 4:32
“and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.”

Mark 11:25
“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”

Matthew 6:15
“but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Matthew 18: 21-22
“Then Peter came and said to him, ‘Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”

Matthew 6: 14-15
“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

*Edited to add: I found these (and plenty more) with a cursory Google search. What are they teaching at this school other than nothing, apparently?

“What is this Gospel and these ‘Christian ethics’ to which you refer? I’m about turning out the slow-witted in the GOTP base, not this silly ‘right and wrong’ stuff. l’ll leave that to real Christians. I just play one on TV.”

to her credit, Burnett tried to keep that interview on track and she gave him every opportunity to back away from Trump.

Hearing him respond was like listening to Lewandowski trying out a southern accent.
