The South voted NO! to evangelical Cruz. They saw straight through him and many of those voters and other evangelicals post on FR.

The South voted NO! to evangelical Cruz.


Well at least, more did (a lot more in some cases) vote for Trump.

That’s why I’m not sure why we have some posters here that have to seemingly take swipes at religious groups when they post about Cruz.

The above poster that I first posted to, may have not intended that...
But there sure have been “some” posts by “some” Trump supporters that have been critical of evangelicals or religious groups supportive of Cruz.

If you’ve read a lot of posts here, you’ve seen evangelicals in Iowa made fun of...Mormons criticized for supporting Cruz.

I know there are many different religious groups (denominations) here from Catholics, evangelicals, Pentecostals, and probably Mormons.
And I would assume most of those people are “social conservatives”.
And I would hope that most would have the same beliefs as our FR founder.

But some of the posts make me believe 1 of 2 possible things...
1. People are so mad at Cruz that they are lashing out at him in a way that makes it seem they are taking veiled shots at religious groups...
Or 2. They are not social conservatives at all and they are wanting to leave behind the socially conservative positions.

I hope #2 is not the case.

The same South were exit polls asked people about their religious affiliation? The same polls where many said that they were "evangelical", but rarely attend church. Do you mean that South? How can a person be evangelical and not attend church weekly? That behavior is more like old school denominations where people show up for Easter and Christmas.
