Protestantism The Evangelical Explosion (Documentary)- Diarmaid MacCulloch traces the growth of an exuberant expression of faith that has spread across the globe - Evangelical Protestantism.
Today, it is associated with conservative politics, but the whole story is distinctly more unexpected. It is easily forgotten that the evangelical explosion has been driven by a concern for social justice and the claim that one could stand in a direct emotional relationship with God.
It allowed the Protestant faith to burst its boundaries from its homeland in Europe. In America, its preachers marketed Christianity with all the flair and swashbuckling enterprise of American commerce. In Africa, it converted much of the continent by adapting to local traditions, and now it is expanding into Asia. But is Korean Pentecostalism and its message of prosperity in the here and now an adaptation too far?

Why do Evangelical Christians Support Donald Trump?
Hemant Mehta (http://www.friendlyatheist.com, http://www.patreon.com/Hemant , https://www.facebook.com/friendlyatheist)
There are plenty of reasons to not like Donald Trump if you're a liberal like I am, but I'm especially confused by the fact that he has so much support in evangelical circles.
Here's just a brief rundown of what he's done in terms of religion recently:
-- He said he doesn't ask God for forgiveness if he makes a mistake. He just tries to fix the problem himself. I love that answer as an atheist, but if you're Christian, asking God for forgiveness is a big deal!
-- He atoned for that comment by saying he always eats the "little cracker" as if that should count for something. I mean, he called a communion wafer a "little cracker."
-- He uses mild swears in his speeches, like "damn" and "hell." Again, I don't mind, but you'd think evangelical Christians would.
-- He claimed that his book The Art of the Deal was only his second favorite book because the first was the Bible. "Nothing beats the Bible." He says that line all the time now because he knows it gets applause. I just don't buy the sincerity of it.
-- Trump was asked about his favorite Bible verse, and he said it was personal. Like he was offended by the question. I'm surprised he go all Sarah Palin and just say "all of them"
-- When he was asked if he's an Old Testament or New Testament kind of guy, he said, "Probably equal." What sort of answer is that? The answer is the New Testament! That's the one with Jesus!
So Trump isn't your typical evangelical Christian favorite. He's so obviously pandering to them by saying a few buzzwords... and they're totally falling for it.
That has to infuriate guys like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. They have been courting the Christian vote their entire careers, and Trump comes in, says I love the Bible, gives a thumbs up, and evangelicals are swarming around him!
It shouldn't make any sense!
What's also amazing is that Trump doesn't seem to match supposed evangelical ethics in any real way.
He says horrible things about immigrants, he reduces women down to their looks, he's been married multiple times, he's obviously greedy, he's thinks everything is all about him, not Him.
But they don't seem to care.
I think they're just so desperate to back a winner, that they'll go after any bone a Republican front-runner will throw their way.
It seems like what evangelicals want isn't someone who agrees with their values. It's someone who will pander to them while demonizing everyone they don't like.
If you think about it, that is what evangelicals do, isn't it? They just love tearing into people who don't agree with them.
They talk about how their God is all about love... then use the Bible to discriminate against LGBT people.
They talk about helping the less fortunate, but they allow megachurch pastors to make millions of dollars with no transparency whatsoever and they support politicians who oppose minimum wage increases and who want to overhaul the welfare system.
They claim to be pro-life but they supported George W. Bush, who took us to war.
Evangelicals tend to be all talk. They love chatting up how great they are. But in practice, we see the horrible consequences of their beliefs.
They'll even file lawsuits in order to keep discriminating against people.
So I guess in a way, it does make sense that they support Donald Trump.
Mike Huckabee had it all wrong; they weren't looking for someone who embodies their values and speaks their language.
They were looking for someone who's as big of a hypocrite as so many of them are.

Evangelicalism
Evangelicalism, Evangelical Christianity, or Evangelical Protestantism is a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity maintaining that the essence of the gospel consists in the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's atonement. Evangelicals believe in the centrality of the conversion or "born again" experience in receiving salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity, and spreading the Christian message.
It gained great momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries with the Great Awakenings in the United Kingdom and North America. The origins of Evangelicalism are usually traced back to English Methodism, the Moravian Church (in particular the theology of its bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf), and German Lutheran Pietism. Today, Evangelicals may be found in many of the Protestant branches, as well as in Protestant denominations not subsumed to a specific branch. Among leaders and major figures of the Evangelical Protestant movement were John Wesley, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, Billy Graham, Harold John Ockenga, John Stott and Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

Donald Trump
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessperson and media personality. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts.

Protestantism The Evangelical Explosion (Documentary)- Diarmaid MacCulloch traces the growth of an exuberant expression of faith that has spread across the globe - Evangelical Protestantism.
Today, it is associated with conservative politics, but the whole story is distinctly more unexpected. It is easily forgotten that the evangelical explosion has been driven by a concern for social justice and the claim that one could stand in a direct emotional relationship with God.
It allowed the Protestant faith to burst its boundaries from its homeland in Europe. In America, its preachers marketed Christianity with all the flair and swashbuckling enterprise of American commerce. In Africa, it converted much of the continent by adapting to local traditions, and now it is expanding into Asia. But is Korean Pentecostalism and its message of prosperity in the here and now an adaptation too far?

Our guest Frank Schaeffer refers to himself as a “survivor” of a strict evangelical household. The son of prominent evangelical pastor Francis Schaeffer, Frank speaks openly about the flaws and contradictions he recognized behind the scenes. In this conversation with Barnet and Freeman, Frank explores complexity and embraces paradox as a greater truth than the over-simplified answers that came out of the Christian dogma that he grew up with.

Why do Evangelical Christians Support Donald Trump?
Hemant Mehta (http://www.friendlyatheist.com, http://www.patreon.com/Hemant , https://www.facebook.com/friendlyatheist)
There are plenty of reasons to not like Donald Trump if you're a liberal like I am, but I'm especially confused by the fact that he has so much support in evangelical circles.
Here's just a brief rundown of what he's done in terms of religion recently:
-- He said he doesn't ask God for forgiveness if he makes a mistake. He just tries to fix the problem himself. I love that answer as an atheist, but if you're Christian, asking God for forgiveness is a big deal!
-- He atoned for that comment by saying he always eats the "little cracker" as if that should count for something. I mean, he called a communion wafer a "little cracker."
-- He uses mild swears in his speeches, like "damn" and "hell." Again, I don't mind, but you'd think evangelical Christians would.
-- He claimed that his book The Art of the Deal was only his second favorite book because the first was the Bible. "Nothing beats the Bible." He says that line all the time now because he knows it gets applause. I just don't buy the sincerity of it.
-- Trump was asked about his favorite Bible verse, and he said it was personal. Like he was offended by the question. I'm surprised he go all Sarah Palin and just say "all of them"
-- When he was asked if he's an Old Testament or New Testament kind of guy, he said, "Probably equal." What sort of answer is that? The answer is the New Testament! That's the one with Jesus!
So Trump isn't your typical evangelical Christian favorite. He's so obviously pandering to them by saying a few buzzwords... and they're totally falling for it.
That has to infuriate guys like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. They have been courting the Christian vote their entire careers, and Trump comes in, says I love the Bible, gives a thumbs up, and evangelicals are swarming around him!
It shouldn't make any sense!
What's also amazing is that Trump doesn't seem to match supposed evangelical ethics in any real way.
He says horrible things about immigrants, he reduces women down to their looks, he's been married multiple times, he's obviously greedy, he's thinks everything is all about him, not Him.
But they don't seem to care.
I think they're just so desperate to back a winner, that they'll go after any bone a Republican front-runner will throw their way.
It seems like what evangelicals want isn't someone who agrees with their values. It's someone who will pander to them while demonizing everyone they don't like.
If you think about it, that is what evangelicals do, isn't it? They just love tearing into people who don't agree with them.
They talk about how their God is all about love... then use the Bible to discriminate against LGBT people.
They talk about helping the less fortunate, but they allow megachurch pastors to make millions of dollars with no transparency whatsoever and they support politicians who oppose minimum wage increases and who want to overhaul the welfare system.
They claim to be pro-life but they supported George W. Bush, who took us to war.
Evangelicals tend to be all talk. They love chatting up how great they are. But in practice, we see the horrible consequences of their beliefs.
They'll even file lawsuits in order to keep discriminating against people.
So I guess in a way, it does make sense that they support Donald Trump.
Mike Huckabee had it all wrong; they weren't looking for someone who embodies their values and speaks their language.
They were looking for someone who's as big of a hypocrite as so many of them are.

Why Are so Many Evangelical Christian Leaders Caught in Scandals? Does Satan Tempt and Attack Christian Leaders More Than 'Ordinary' Christians?
First, it is important to point out that “so many” is not an accurate characterization. It may seem like many evangelical Christian leaders are caught in scandals, but this is due to the vast amount of attention such scandals are given. There are thousands of evangelical Christian leaders, pastors, professors, missionaries, writers, and evangelists who have never participated in anything “scandalous.” The vast majority of evangelical Christian leaders are men and women who love God, are faithful to their spouses and families, and handle their activities with the utmost honesty and integrity. The failures of a few should not be used to attack the character of all.
With that said, there is still the problem that scandals do sometimes occur among those claiming to be evangelical Christians. Prominent Christian leaders have been exposed for committing adultery or participating in prostitution. Some evangelical Christians have been convicted of tax fraud and other financial illegalities. Why does this occur? There are at least three primary explanations: 1) Some of those claiming to be evangelical Christians are unbelieving charlatans, 2) some evangelical Christian leaders allow their position to result in pride, and 3) Satan and his demons more aggressively attack and tempt those in Christian leadership because they know that a scandal involving a leader can have devastating results, on both Christians and non-Christians.
1) Some “evangelical Christians” who are caught in scandals are unredeemed charlatans and false prophets. Jesus warned, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves … Therefore by their fruits you will know them” (Matthew 7:15-20). False prophets pretend to be godly men and women and appear to be solid evangelical leaders. However, their “fruit” (scandals) eventually reveals them to be the opposite of what they claimed to be. In this, they follow the example of Satan, “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
2) The Bible makes it clear that “pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). James 4:6 reminds us that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” The Bible repeatedly warns against pride. Many Christian leaders begin a ministry in a spirit of humility and reliance upon God, but as the ministry grows and thrives, they are tempted to take some of this glory for themselves. Some evangelical Christian leaders, while paying lip-service to God, actually attempt to manage and build the ministry in their own strength and wisdom. This type of pride leads to a fall. God, through the prophet Hosea, warned, “When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me” (Hosea 13:6).
3) Satan knows that by instigating a scandal with an evangelical Christian leader, he can have a powerful impact. Just as King David’s adultery with Bathsheba and arranged murder of Uriah caused great damage to David’s family and the entire nation of Israel, so has many a church or ministry been damaged or destroyed by the moral failure of its leader. Many Christians have had their faith weakened as a result of seeing a leader fall. Non-Christians use the failure of “Christian” leaders as a reason to reject Christianity. Satan and his demons know this, and therefore direct more of their attacks against those in leadership roles. The Bible warns us all, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

[HD] Best of Christian Nonsense- the Crazy Christians compilation
Some funny. Some sad. A modest representation of the more insane things Christians say. Hold on tight folks... What clip was most significant to you? If you wish to see any of the full clips just message me with a time stamp. Enjoy. If anything was learned during the making of this video, it is that one can never have enough Benny Hinn.

PBS Frontline The Jesus Factor (complete)
A look at how George Bush's conversion to evangelical Christianity would prove politically important during both his father's 1988 Presidential campaign, and, his own Presidential campaign (and policy making, as President). From 2004, directed by Raney Aronson. On a personal note: I am not a person who is conventionally religious, and, I am disturbed by the trend in American politics that a significant percentage of the the electorate will simply vote for the candidate who they perceive to be the "most religious" (or the "most Christian). I hope that you find the video interesting, and, illuminating. I also hope that the Unites States, in the future, endeavors to keep religion and politics separate - as was intended by the founders of this country.
