"They are reeling not only from the loss of the presidency, but from what many of them see as a rejection of their agenda. They lost fights against same-sex marriage in all four states where it was on the ballot, and saw anti-abortion-rights Senate candidates defeated and two states vote to legalize marijuana for recreational use." ... "Millions of American evangelicals are absolutely shocked by not just the presidential election, but by the entire avalanche of results that came in," R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Louisville, Ky., said in an interview. "It's not that our message we think abortion is wrong, we think same-sex marriage is wrong didn't get out. It did get out. "It's that the entire moral landscape has changed," he said. "An increasingly secularized America understands our positions, and has rejected them." -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
