As a Christian minister, I believe in God and the devil — and I know whose side today’s pious Republicans are on

Where is that devil and what is he up to? First of all, like in any good horror movie, the devil is always right here in the house. In the case of the current evangelical political machine, the devil is all too often wearing pastoral robes and expensive tailored suits. For many years, the evangelical church has pointed to the devil outside in the world, but the devil is the one doing the pointing. Secondly, the devil is always up to the same thing: creating division through fear.

    Actually people like Mike Johnson are always up to the same thing, creating division through religion and fear of the devil.

    All people have to do is stop believing in super natural stuff and people like Mike Johnson will lose the majority of their power.

    The Devil is hated because she dared to defy god, an unquestionably an evil deity.

    Johnson has never defied power in his life.
