A Washington Post writer once said that evangelicals are “poor, ignorant and easy to command.” Well, at least he didn’t say we were mentally ill.
Until now, that is. On a recent segment of “The View,” Joy Behar took aim at Mike Pence’s belief that God speaks to him. Responding to a comment by another host, Behar said, “It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another when Jesus talks to you. That’s a mental illness if I’m not correct. Hearing voices.”
That’s a sign of how ignorant elites truly are about beliefs and practices common to something like 2 billion Christians.
I actually find it surprising that Behar, who claims to be Catholic, hasn’t found time in her 75 years to learn a little more about prayer.
Behar’s comment outraged Americans from coast to coast. Twenty-five thousand people let ABC know what we thought of a network that allows an employee to sneer at the way other people practice their faith.
