Real Fake News
Roy Moore is an Honorable, God-fearing, Public Servant
All Roy Moor needed in order to become a supreme court justice in Alabama was to claim - and loudly proclaim - that he was a devout, God-fearing Christian. People who knew the truth about him never called him out. After all, he was not only a Christian, he was a Republican in the reddest of red states.
Now that Moore wants to be a U.S. Senator, five women have come forward and told the nation how he molested them when they were teenagers and he was in his thirties.
But this is Alabama, and evangelical Christians are rallying behind the devout Mr. Moore with supposedly Biblical proof that his behavior toward those teenage girls was justified.
What does that tell us about politics and religion in Alabama?
Furthermore, what will life in America be like if we continue to follow the GOP as it marches toward establishing, nationwide, a fundamentalist theocracy in the Alabama tradition?
Fake Good News
Evangelical Christians Use the Bible to Support Roy Moore
Separation of church and state is anathema to traditional (i.e. dominant, old, white, protestant male) Alabama thinking, and Alabamans are quite attached to their traditions, both religious and pre-Civil War political.
