The hypocrisy and double standards of many Christian conservatives and all Christian nationalists is consistent! Their "spiritual father" was Jerry Falwell."

Only weeks after “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Alabama on March 7, 1965 during Jerry Falwell gave his response during a sermon;

“Believing the Bible as I do, I would find it impossible to stop preaching the pure saving gospel of Jesus Christ and begin doing anything else—including the fighting of Communism, or participating in the civil rights reform… Preachers are not called to be politicians, but to be soul winners.”

By the 1970’s, Jerry Falwell reversed course and stated;

"The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.”

Back in those days I used to wear a T-shirt that said "The Moral Majority is Neither". Thank you for shining light on this!
