Republicans OWN the ‘religious’ label, but it’s hard to follow/comprehend.

 There is the supposed religiousness of Republicans like Speaker Mike Johnson, contrasting him with another Republican, Mike Pence:

 “One Christian man tells the truth, and it kills his career. Another Christian man helps lead one of the most comprehensively dishonest, lying and dangerous political and legal efforts in American history, and he gets the speaker’s gavel.”

This is precisely indicative of the political ruthlessness that’s overtaken evangelical Republicans. They are inflexible about policy positions even when the Bible is silent or vague. They are flexible about morality even when the Bible is clear.

In other words, they pick and choose what parts of the Bible that support THEIR positions, and blow off the rest, like ‘love your neighbor, as yourself’, as they choose to follow what their good book describes as the Anti-Christ.
