It's not surprising that a political group with its roots in conservative Evangelical theology and doctrine would miss the mark when it comes to discerning Christian truth. Evangelicalism's theological and doctrinal structure is built on core beliefs that are not accurate interpretations of true Christian faith, but are, instead, a modern aberration that fails to consider the historical and cultural context in which scripture was written before trying to interpret it. The literal "verse by verse" approach to interpretation, along with the claim, not made by any of the Bible's writers, that it is without error in its original manuscripts, and that it is infallible in its content, skews the actual meaning behind what was written. Verses are reference points, not complete thoughts in some kind of order.

The recent AmeriFest event in Phoenix, an annual event sponsored by Turning Point USA, shows how confused and fragmented those Kirk pulled into the organization have become since his death, if they ever were really interested in anything more than hanging on to his coattails.

Post noted that Erica Kirk acknowledged these rifts in her opening remarks, warning about their effect on the organization, but that these warnings largely went unheeded by the array of speakers, like Ben Shapiro, Carlson, former White House strategist Steve Bannon and journalist Megyn Kelly who each took turns in their speaking slots swiping at each other.

Well, thieves do have a tendency to fall out, you know.
