Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick openly campaigns during megachurch's Sunday morning sermon time.

"We lose this nation if conservatives don't win the Presidential election in November," Patrick said, in his address to the project. That got him invited into the pulpit at Second Baptist.

"Political conservatives are fighting a battle of darkness and light," he told the congregation. "There are people who pray to God, believe in God, raise their families in God's work, and there are people over here who don't believe in God and want to kick God out. They hate God. That's the battle we're in."

And that's the kind of rhetoric that's being used to keep people in the pews nodding and bobbing their heads in agreement, clicking their tongues and planning to vote for a man who rejects everything about their own Christian faith, especially his arrogant claim that he has committed no sin for which he needs God's forgiveness--blasphemy according to the scripture--and whose immoral, worldly lifestyle is the diametric opposite of the Christian gospel of Jesus Christ, which is supposed to be what Second Baptist allows to be proclaimed from its pulpit.

Lt. Governor Patrick is a politician who is using the trappings of a recognized mega-church, with the permission of its pastor, to endorse an evil, anti-Christian demagogue as President of the United States. In other words, Patrick is lying to us, and Dr. Ed Young is letting him have his pulpit to do so. That undermines the credibility, as well as the spiritual claims, of both men.
