Antifar 01/24/18 10:31:20 AM #1:	https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/1/23/16924546/evangelical-tony-perkins-trump-stormy-daniels-affair-mulligan The leader of the conservative evangelical organization Family Research Council said that evangelicals were happy to give President Donald Trump a do-over after a previously unpublished 2011 interview with adult film actress Stormy Daniels revealed that she may have been paid to remain silent about an extramarital affair with Trump in 2006. Speaking to Politicos Edward-Isaac Dovere about the Daniels incident, Tony Perkins said evangelicals kind of gave him All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here, using a golfing term that refers to a free stroke given to a player after a poor shot. Perkins argued that the good Trump could do for evangelicals made up for his un-biblical behavior and warranted a free pass. He told Dovere that evangelicals were tired of being kicked around by Barack Obama and his leftists. And I think they are finally glad that theres somebody on the playground that is willing to punch the bully. Perkinss remarks reflect a wider trend among white evangelicals (81 percent of whom voted for Trump in the 2016 election): Many choose to disregard Trumps decidedly debauched, decades-old public persona to focus on his anti-LBGTQ and anti-abortion stances. Many, including Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, have chosen to mark a clear division between Trumps past and his present, describing him as a baby Christian. (Its unclear when or if Trump has become a born-again Christian, but in June 2016, shortly after the Republican National Convention, Dobson said he had heard that Trump had recently converted.) Certainly, this does fit in with a wider evangelical ethos of redemption, which typically disregards a persons pre-conversion actions. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:894700443] in Evangelica...

Read an article the other day that someone posted on Reddit which suggested that Evangelicals have felt attacked and persecuted in recent years, and have essentially clung to Trump with the hopes of turning that around, regardless of his un-Christ like behaviour and actions. I'm inclined to agree with that notion.
