Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Though it's common to talk about the Republican Party having been captured by white evangelical activists, if you really look at the way the two groups have interacted over the years, it's more accurate to say that evangelicals have been captured by the Republican Party. They ape its talking points about welfare cheats rather than the Bible's compassion for the poor and the oppressed. Born-again Christians continue to laud Jesus as their King of Kings. But it is a strange sovereign who is so slavishly responsive to his subjects. Here Jesus is more pawn than king, pushed around in a game of political chess, sacrificed here to take down Obamacare and there to turn a reality-television star into God's gift to America." -- Stephen Prothero, 2016-03-13
