FUNNY and true comments from J.D. Hall:

These men choose their political beliefs like they choose their theology; they choose whatever belief that is least likely to bring controversy to their door step, as close to the middle as they can possibly get, so as to offend the least number of God’s enemies as is humanly possible while still keeping up the facade that they’re conservatives.

The Evangelical Intelligentsia looks down on the rest of us. They are educated, and we are Cro Magnon hillbillies and ingrates who don’t like no fancy book learnin’. They prefer a ThD from Yale Divinity over a Bible thumping seminary, and their bread is buttered by mainstream media that still pretends to care what they think. They see themselves as the smarter, more articulate evangelicals that live in perpetual embarrassment from the rest of us. They see themselves as intermediaries between the smart people of the world and all the dumb people in the church. We need them, they think, as our more enlightened interpreters, serving priestly duties to intercede between the savages and barbarians of conservative evangelicalism and the snooty, monocled limp-wristies who put their thoughts into a religious op-ed once in a while.

Because these men choose a respectable theology well within the Overton Window of what is socially acceptable, they choose their political or cultural stances the same way, by popular consensus in a never-ending straw-poll of what the lost people will think. And none of these men have yet figured out that the rest of evangelicalism largely despises them, and the only ones of us who don’t, are those who don’t know them despite what remains of their dying influence.

A conspiracy theory, you see, is only a conspiracy theory because the establishment has convinced the majority it’s not true. And these men live and breathe for their Lord and Savior, the Establishment. Because of this, they dare not offend them by suggesting that the approved narrative is anything but gospel truth.
