The New York Times published an op-ed Friday that blamed evangelical Christians for the coronavirus pandemic.
The argument, by journalist and author Katherine Stewart, is that because religious voters supported Trump, that means he governs without regard for science.
Stewart also claims that Republicans, more than Democrats, are likely to deny science.
In her op-ed, titled “The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals,” she writes:
Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown.
At least since the 19th century, when the proslavery theologian Robert Lewis Dabney attacked the physical sciences as “theories of unbelief,” hostility to science has characterized the more extreme forms of religious nationalism in the United States.
She then goes on to provide several quotes from pastors who pushed back against the idea of closing their churches.

Looking at the other titles she has written on the NYT site, it is clear she has an Agenda.
With a capital “A”.
Imagine a conservative taking the same tone writing about Jews or Muslims.
It’s a strawman. They set up some rediculous caricature to base their argument on because it wouldn’t hold water for most.
The New York Times is an American enemy and must be destroyed. Every one there down to the lowest typist must be destroyed.They are all in it together to destroy the Republic.
The publisher should have a rope around his feet and be dragged the length of Fifth avenue and back. All must see the pink goo being dragged
God and science coexist you silly Leftists.
This author, who says we are “science deniers”, most likely believes males can be females and vice versa, men can be mothers, and women can be fathers.
And that a 9 month old baby in the womb is just a blob of tissue. Very scientific.
Logic is easy. Carrots have killed more than all viruses combined.
The NYT is a fetid swamp of SJWs and miscreants posing as journalists.
Nothing new under the sun. A Roman emperor blamed the Christians for the plague that killed so many. That didn’t go too far since the Christians stayed and took care of the sick even their pagan neighbors when others fled.
How many GENDERS are there?

Right...Evangelicals must have prayed that the eeeevil ones be afflicted, and God said “Yes”.
It’s worthwhile discussing because we are the ones who have the target on our backs (evangelicals). They are going to have to destroy us in some way to bring about the New World Order. Our intelligence agencies know this.
Nero accused the christians of burning down Rome . . . . . . .
Have at it.
