TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
It took one AI generated photo depicting Trump as Jesus Christ (or a doctor?) to cause rifts in his biggest supporting base: Evangelical Christians. Not his cheating, lying, or scamming or multitude of anti-Christian actions. So why was this too far?
I'm joined by Pastor Ben Marsh of First Alliance Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to explore the mentality behind Evangelical Christians and explain why this was a breaking point. Pastor Ben has been an outspoken critic of Trump and has faced death threats for speaking his views. For those that may not know much about the mentality of Christian nationalism and the evangelical movement, this is the episode for you.
