So is Hillary evil (or the devil)?

Over the weekend, in a talk Jerry Falwell insinuated that Hillary Clinton was the devil (Lucifer). Now, I’m not putting any validity into Faldie - he’s a joke into himself. But he does bring up an interesting question: is Hillary evil? Christian conservatives have long demonized her (and some times for good reason). She’s liberal and morally left… and she’s a Clinton!
But comparing her to the devil, in my opinion, actually underscores the capacity of Satan and falsely establishes our opinion of what evil actually is. As Christians we engage daily in spiritual warfare against an the enemy of the cross and our Lord. There is a formidable enemy. Hillary is not that enemy. As Christian we know that victory is already won, Christ has come, died on the cross and conquered death. So we know that evil doesn’t win. That’s something to put our hope in, but that doesn’t get us off the hook or pull us out of the battle that we find ourselves in.
To see Hillary (an anyone else on this earth) as the ultimate enemy is foolish and wrong. All it means to do is take our eyes off the calling, our Lord, and the one who opposes it. It forces us to focus on the wrong thing. That’s one thing that makes me sick with conservative Christians. The focus on the wrong thing. I’m not saying that abortion and the plethora of other causes that liberals push are good. What I am saying is that you can choose to fight the symptoms or the source. Fighting the symptoms leads to an endless race of putting out fires. It’s kind of like playing whack-a-mole. You squish one and then another pops up.
Now, to fight the source that’s another story. Once we focus on this, then our perspectives change. Then we find our true selves and calling and see that we are set into a battle that’s been raging on for centuries. Then we truly realize that this story isn’t all about us. Sure we’re apart of it, but it’s about our Lord. Once we have this perspective our outlook on life changes.
If we were to spend our time focused on our Lord and what he has for our lives and less on poloticizing our faith our country would be transformed. But, we would rather follow enlist a program or picket a clinic than spend time with Jesus. We would rather do things in on our own power, in our own strength, as opposed leaning on the strength and power of our Father and walking in faith. Do we even know what that is anymore?

For this post, my name will be Keith. I am a student at Liberty University and a supporter of Jerry Falwell. He was a funny man, in that, in addition to being very opinionated and outspoken, he wasn’t afraid of anything he might cause by voicing what the Lord laid on his heart.
Before I applied to Liberty, the Lord had laid on my heart a very special burden. It is not to reach a particular people group or a third world country, but to speak to this nation, not from a pulpit, but from a silver screen. Though the messages from the screen may have more potential to scream louder than those from the pulpit, I do not wish to be opinionated in the manner of Falwell. It was a vision of mine to pose questions through cinema that challenged the source of America’s symptoms of godlessness, literally, to challenge immorality in an entertaining and intriguing way. The less you speak, the more people hear what you’re trying to say.
So, when I came to Liberty, Dr. Falwell seemed to be a major encouragement to me. It bothered me a little that he would stand at a pulpit and concentrate so much on the political issues, but he always emphasized the vision God gave him (Liberty University). I believe God allowed him to achieve that vision. He encouraged me because God has also given me a unique vision, and through prayer, I have great hope of accomplishing it as successfully as Jerry Falwell.
Hilary Clinton is not the Devil. She is a moderate Democrat, meaning that she is very close to the center on a lot of issues.
Also, Jerry Falwell is an overzealous preacher to say the least. When one speaks in the name of God they should be doing so in the name of justice, what is fair and right. Why would anyone want to support someone who puts forth unfounded demonizations? That is not the work of the Lord.
Couldn’t get past the third line of your post.
