It’s almost like contemporary white evangelism is a proxy for white supremacist ideology defined by hyper-partisanship, a hated of women and LGBTQ, antisemitic End Times zionism, and petty white grievance politics and not a carefully-considered, coherent theological worldview.
Everytime a poll comes out showing most white evangelicals are anti-immigrant MAGA assholes people respond w/ “but but Jesus wouldnt have...” & it drives me mad, it’s not an organic religious worldview arrived out by pouring over scripture. It’s a cultural proxy for the GOP base.
When I attended Hagee’s church as a kid in San Antonio there were only 10 topics:

Israel/End Times
Homosexual plots to recruit kids
Israel/End Times
Israel/End Times
Homosexuals
Clinton/UN as antichrist
Women being useless whores
Atheist professors
Israel/End Times
Homosexuals
There’s no theological basis for focusing on these otherwise obscure topics so much, they’re just religious-themed cultural thingamajigs used to sew paranoia, racism and hatred of liberalism and women
