Evangelicals explain their support for Trump. It's the racism that stands out.

In a small Alabama town, an evangelical congregation reckons with God, President Trump and the meaning of morality

A few leaders have publicly dissented from such views, aware of the Southern Baptist history of whiffing on the big moral questions of the day — such as during the civil rights era, when most pastors either defended segregation or remained silent. The president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s ethics commission, Russell Moore, asked whether Christians were “really ready to trade unity with our black and brown brothers and sisters for this angry politician?” One prominent black pastor, Lawrence Ware, left the denomination altogether, writing that the widespread reluctance to criticize Trump on racial issues revealed a “deep commitment to white supremacy.” The new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, J.D. Greear, said church culture had “grown too comfortable with power and the dangers that power brings.”

But all those discussions were taking place far from the rank-and-file. The Southern Baptists who filled the pews every Sunday were making their own moral calculations about Trump in the privacy of a thousand church sanctuaries in cities and towns such as Luverne, population 2,700, an hour south of the state capital of Montgomery.

It was a place where it was hard to drive a mile in any direction without passing some church or sign about the wages of sin, where conversations about politics happened in nodding circles before Sunday school, or at the Chicken Shack after, and few people paid attention to some national Southern Baptist leader.

This is a really good read for all those of us who absolutely cannot grasp how people who call themselves people of faith have embraced an obviously unchristian man.

Most of it seems to be a reaction to Obama, and the lies they chose to believe about him. Which - I mean, that's not really any surprise.

What is going to be a surprise is when they get turned away at the pearly gates.

So Christian's should have voted for lying, crooked Hillary, who is an abortionist to boot?

Christians should have voted for anyone other than Trump in the primaries.

And Trump donated to abortionists. More than he donated to Republicans.

 

[K9Buck]

Not every person of Faith is a Christian. Please remember that.

A large percentage of the Christian voters I know considered Trump to be the lesser of two evils politically and Morally.

What a pile of horseshit.

When you vote for the lesser of two EVILS, you are still voting for EVIL.

There were far better men in the GOP primaries. Trump was the worst scum of the lot.

So don't give me this "lesser of evils" bullshit.

That's funny considering you voted for Hillary.

 

[g5000]

Trump donated millions to abortionists.

And the rubes are okay with that.

"He made money off the deaths of the unborn. That makes it okay!"

 

[Sunni Man]

"Trump would NEVER bake a cake for a Mexican homo!"

Don't give up.

I'm sure you can find someone to bake it for you. ...

Donald Trump seems the farthest any person with Christian values would support

Yup! A big part of why I left the church was hateful people such as these (both in the article, and on this board). The fact that they can make excuses for all the hatred and ugliness just helps me to understand - there is no God. He's just a bludgeon they use to try to get their way.

Disgusting gits.

Evangelicals supported Jim Crow till the end. They couldn’t care less if fellow Christians were discriminated against.......they were black

What's an evangelical not to like?

Trump wasn't trying to be elected Pope.

No one said he was.

But plenty of people actually believe this fuckwit was sent by God. That's some seriously deluded thinking.

This country would probably be gone by now if Hillary had won, and plenty of people thought she was a shoe-in in 2014-2015.

Not really.

We believed Obama started us down that path, but Hillary’s election victory would have solidified the Balkanization and the crippling regulations and taxes.

She's a centrist. But since you never bothered to do any research, you don't know that.
