8. So, this Evangelical preacher, John Pavlovitz, tells us:

"I’ve been a pastor in the local church for the past 24 years, much of that in megachurches in the Bible Belt. I’ve been shoulder to shoulder in ministry and in life with white Evangelicals, I’ve sat in Bible studies with them, served alongside them in staff meetings, attended hundreds of pastoral gatherings and heard how they think and what drives them."

We're supposed to believe that this Evangelical preacher, John Pavlovitz, never saw this coming? That he had no idea this could happen? That he couldn't figure out that this is what logically follows from the shit that's been preached in Evangelical churches the whole time he's been in the ministry?

BULL. SHIT.

If he knew these people so well, if he spent so much time with them, if he ministered to them for 24 years, then he knew.
