Editor quits after Christian publication backs Trump amid evangelical divide

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An editor at the Christian Post announced his resignation after the publication came out with an editorial in defense of President Trump.

Napp Nazworth's decision to quit comes amid a divide among evangelical publications concerning President Trump. Nazworth, who had been at the outlet for more than eight years, announced his resignation on Twitter Monday night, calling the decision a "difficult choice" and adding that he "can't be an editor for a publication with that editorial voice."

"Like so many other media companies, they've chosen to silo themselves," he continued. "They've chosen to represent a narrow (and shrinking) slice of Christianity. That might be a good business decision, short term at least. But... it's bad for Democracy, and bad for the Gospel. It means there will be one more place where readers can go for bias confirmation, but one less place where readers can go to exercise their brains on diversity of thought."

Nazworth, whose Twitter biography now lists him as an "out of work writer, editor," announced his resignation after the Christian Post published a scathing review of Christianity Today's editorial from last week, in which they came out to support removing President Trump from office.

1. 'Evangelicals' who worship Trump don't realize that in fact 40% or so of evangelicals are NOT white.

And most of those aren't for Trump at all.
"White evangelicals" break for Trump, but not those who aren't white.

3. Many years ago (1970's) I attended

A fundamentalist Christian meeting in southern Virginia. The chosen few will be white, successful, Americans who had the ability to contribute to establishing a white, male dominated “christian church.” Women and minorities were to be subservient to their masters. The men would lead as the chosen directors. The gift from God would be physical and financial wealth along with true spirituality. I left half way through.

4. I've always known they were out there. Been waiting and waiting....

This is the Evangelicals' Christmas present to America.

5. I don't expect anything like this to move the needth among evangelical trump supporters one iota

but it IS refreshing to see.

6. The Christian right needs a kick in the ass.

And to take a good hard look at what they're doing and who they are ruining. Is this what Jesus would have wanted? He would be ashamed at the whole damn lot of 'em for turning into a cult. :banghead;
