The troubling theology that condones Roy Moore
The idea of a father God is extremely important in evangelical thought. They grasp that metaphor for God above all others. As a result, the evangelical understanding of the family is intimately connected to their understanding of God.
I saw a tweet of someone throwing their coffee maker out the window along with the directive to retweet the short video in order to make liberals angry.
I’m liberal. I’m on Twitter. Of course, I’m just itching for another reason to be angry. But, I didn’t exactly know why a person smashing up his own $100 appliance and having a caffeine headache the next morning was supposed to make me infuriated. Then I turned to the magic of Google and found out that Sean Hannity defended Roy Moore, which made Kuerig pull their advertising. So, the whole thing is now as clear as my muddy cup of warm and delicious coffee.
To back up a bit, Roy Moore was running for the U.S. Senate for the state of Alabama, when numerous women came out and described his disturbing behavior. He was sexually aggressive with them when he was in his thirties and they were in their teens. That was bad, but what made my brow become permanently furrowed was the Evangelical response.
