SO, WHAT DO EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS NOW STAND FOR?
1) Pedophilia is okay
2) Hatred for non-christians (like jews, muslims, etc.)
3) Gay people should be hated and deemed "Illegal"
4) Okay to defy the law and the Supreme Court
5) Okay NOT to treat all people equally (What would Jesus think?)
6) "Slavery unites families"
7) Muslims shouldn't be in Congress (but perverts can)
8) Okay to use racial slurs
9) Only white men should vote (changed by one of the last 17 amendments)
8) Okay to use racial slurs
9) Only white men should vote (changed by one of the last 17 amendments)
WHERE DID THIS LIST COME FROM? It was mostly "Evangelical Christians" (and White Men) who supported the losing Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore in Alabama. It was Roy Moore who stood for those 9 things (and more) and Evangelicals totally supported him, thus, they stand for the same thing.
WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM - Evangelicals make up roughly 33% of all Christians (but Christians don't want them) and they always vote for conservatives who promote hatred and intolerance.
HOW TO FIX IT - We'll never be free of those kinds of politicians unless more non-evangelicals vote and drown out their hatred. Further, Christians who are NOT Evangelicals need to forcefully tell them that Evangelicals do not represent Christian beliefs.

MORE FACTS ON THE MISERABLE MOORE
Here's his record (sourced from Digg.com) BTW- It's not just pedophilia (which should have stopped anyone's candidacy immediately), but a history of DEFYING the Supreme Court, bigotry, racism,etc.
2) He's Known For His Religious Fundamentalism
3) In 1996, a court ruled that Moore's practice of opening court with a prayer was unconstitutional.
3) As Chief Justice of the state supreme court, Moore was involved in repeated controversy, and was suspended from the bench twice. In a 2002 opinion, Moore called homosexual behavior "an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it."
5) In 2001, Moore commissioned the installation of a 5,280 pound Ten Commandments statue in the state's judicial building. A federal judge eventually ruled in 2003 that the statue violated the First Amendment's principle of separation of church and state, and ordered it to be removed. Moore refused to comply and was removed from office in 2004 on ethics grounds.
6) In 2005, he said "homosexual conduct" should still be illegal.
7) In 2012, Moore was reelected as Chief Justice in a surprise election result.
8) In 2016, Moore ordered Alabama judges to disobey the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized same-sex marriage. Once again, Moore was found guilty of ethics violations and was suspended from office for the rest of his term. In April 2017 Moore announced he would run for Senate.
