@stewartdantec Randal Balmer and others have documented how the white evangelical opposition to abortion was manufactured to establish a voting block that would also push back on racial integration in schools. The political force that is white evangelicalism was always about racial power.

It's been said that a faith that makes losing a sin will make cheating a sacrament. That leadership crisis has spread from DC into our daily lives and even our churches. When leaders refuse to stand up for truth and reject toxic division, we begin to replace God with idols.

Those who understand Original Sin know that there is a hieroglyph of doom written upon the forehead of pride, and that insolent systems begin to die from within as soon as they are born.
