Everyone's favorite Conservative Christian Pundit, Bryan Fischer (former Director of Issues Analysis for the American Family Association, and blogger and radio host in AFA media) is back, declaring the real reason why you and everyone else should be voting for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
'"That's always the pattern in the word of God. The kings were all males, when you had a departure from that with Jezebel and Athaliah, it was not a good thing, it did not work out well.'
I'll note parenthetically that the kingships of males in the Old Testament generally didn't work out well, either.
'Leadership in the church is reserved for men, …'
While church leadership in the Old Testament (y'know, all that stuff that God basically reset for the New Testament) was restricted to men, there are any number of women mentioned in leadership roles in the New Testament.
'… leadership in the home is reserved for men. In other words, in God's economy, he has designed leadership and authority in society and in the church and in the home to be exercised by men.
"I think you could make a good case that leadership in culture, society, politically as well as in the home, that that is something in God's economy that's reserved for men. What if somebody had the courage to go on national TV, somebody of some kind of prominence or visibility, and said, 'Look, I'm going to vote for Trump because he's a man. I don't believe that women should be entrusted with high political office' … That's the position I happen to take."'
Don't worry, Bryan — there are plenty of Trump supporters who actually do believe that, even if the don't have the moral courage to proclaim it.
For me, deciding who should be president based on their plumbing strikes me as idiotic. But, then, Bryan Fischer's a dolt, so what could I expect?
(Remember the Good Ol' Days in the Reagan Era, when Maggie "The Iron Lady" Thatcher was admired as one the Bestest Leaders in the World by the Right? Good times, good times …)
thank goodness he's almost dead
+Elizabeth Halloway I don't want him to die. But I wouldn't mind seeing him retire from public life.
