Perhaps my reference to the conflict prefigured in the Gospel has been taken too literally.

The article I responded to in regards to Mr. Rogers notes that he was trying to resist an ethos that held children in thrall to a code that negated their feelings and perceptions of what was going on in the world.

One is, of course, free to see the dynamic as matter of Christian thought or not. It is pretty clear what Mr. Rogers thought of the subject.

Surprisingly robust, but then

Surprisingly robust, but then the cynic in me says: they might be looking forward to the idea of a President Pence.

Interesting point:

White evangelical Trump supporters are so lucky all the Democratic candidates are pro-choice. Can you imagine how difficult it’d be for them to justify their vote if they couldn’t pretend it was about abortion and not partisan tribalism, xenophobia, and Christian nationalism?

a main operative for The Lincoln Project (new Never Trumper GOP organization) gloating about how the CT op-ed played out:

The @CTmagazine editorial clearly came as a surprise and shook up @realDonaldTrump's gang. Their responses have been classic panicky campaign tactics. @ProjectLincoln and many others will deliver plenty more for them to worry about in 2020. https://t.co/Qy0j8tmkO0

PS - what was Jesus's "sword"? Care to "pontificate"?

I'm sure that was a phallic

I'm sure that was a phallic reference. Jesus was probably just flirting with one of his followers. I never bought that chastity line. All those Christian leaders are fucking around now. Jesus was probably no different

In reply to Mr. Rogers, the anti-Trump :

I think the more appropriate biblical reference, in this case, would be Jesus saying he had come with a sword.
Mr. Rogers repeats the rebuke delivered to those who waffled and misconstrued.
As the passage goes: "Worry less about what you put in your mouth than what comes out of it."

I like the title of the book

In reply to Mr. Rogers, the anti-Trump :

I like the title of the book by the author of the review article: D. L. Mayfield is a writer living in Portland, Oregon. She is the author of Assimilate or Go Home: Notes from a Failed Missionary on Rediscovering Faith (HarperOne). In a nutshell it blasts purist ideologues of all kinds, culture warriors and the screamers against "cultural appropriation."
