Al Mohler and Russell Moore both agree: #NeverTrump #NeverHillary. They're also both dead wrong.

No surprise in Drs. Al Mohler and Russell Moore’s position: both commit to either a third party or write-in candidate come November.

What is surprising, however, is the simplistic reasoning both leaders offer as to why they will step into the 2016 voting booth in perhaps the most significant presidential election in my lifetime and cast a ballot that guarantees at least one of the two candidates they judge unworthy to serve as president of the United States will, indeed, serve as president of the United States.

Furthermore, it seems the Mohler-Moore solution implies the future of the United States, the forging of the Supreme Court toward a Leftward direction for at least the next generation, the destruction of the 2nd Amendment, the disassembly of our Military, the advancement of the culture of death, the continued attack on religious liberty, and more socialized medicine by extending Obamacare’s failed policies, in the end, do not matter. They’d rather risk all of these very probable outcomes if Clinton is elected president than vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton both of whom they believe have character issues.

Moore believes evangelicals who have decided that, given the only two electable candidates the American public handed to them in the primaries for whom to vote, they would cast their vote for Trump not Clinton, are evangelicals who are “giving up their very soul” and have “really lost it all.” What evangelicals imply, presumably by voting for Donald Trump, is apparently that misogyny, race-baiting, killing innocent women and children doesn’t matter and thus find themselves voting “simply for the sake of American politics.”

Question: whom can Moore name–just a single evangelical will suffice–who claims Donald Trump’s decidedly unacceptable language, actions, positions, and etc, doesn’t matter to them?

Who?

Consider, also:

Whom can Moore name–just a single evangelical from any mainstream evangelical platform will fully suffice–who has decided to vote for Donald Trump is doing so “simply for the sake of American politics?”

Who?

I give it to Russell Moore. He’s using–not to mention getting away with–political methodology I never thought a Southern Baptist spokesman could accomplish within the open media marketplace; namely, smear rhetoric toward fellow Southern Baptists and other evangelical believers.

Nothing Moore says about why evangelicals are voting for Trump is remotely true.

We’re voting for Trump not because we’re ignoring Trump’s flawed character. Nor are we voting for Trump “simply for the sake of American politics,” something I personally find troubling and insulting.

Rather we’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House threatens the future of the United States

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will forge the Supreme Court toward a Leftward direction for at least the next generation

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House sets in place the destruction of the 2nd Amendment

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will disassemble our Military and needlessly put our sons and daughters in harm’s way

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will advance the culture of death, and in every conceivable way, push an abortion on demand and euthanasia agenda to extremes we’ve not experienced in the United States

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will continue a fatal attack on religious liberty and especially discriminate against conservative Christian beliefs and values in society generally and education particularly

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will increase socialized medicine by extending Obamacare’s failed policies into the lives of American citizens

We’re voting for Donald Trump because we’re convinced a Clinton White House will ease even further the failed immigration laws we presently have so as to endanger the lives of American people by implementing more open border policies and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

There are many, many more reasons why evangelicals find themselves voting for Donald Trump.

But for the record, contrary to Russell Moore’s malicious characterization, evangelicals are categorically not voting for Donald Trump out of either “giving up their very soul” or “simply for the sake of American politics.”
