The hashtag #ChristiansAgainstTrump is trending on Twitter right now, as it should be. For those Christians who actually believe in the liberal teachings of Jesus Christ laid out in the New Testament, someone like Donald Trump is almost literally the devil. Evangelicals – at least the ones on the political right – do not subscribe to Christ’s teachings in any way, and instead have made up their own greedy conservative version of Christ.

I am a Christian, but believe that everyone has a human right to worship in their own way. In other words, I have never been against someone religion. So now I am asking every Christian, "What the hell took you so long?" Why now? Where were you when, children were torn from their parents? You have to deal with this new found "lightbulb thought," with your maker! This is a shame on your Christian beliefs! Let's get back to our Christian ways. Love and caring for anyone who needs our help.

Agelbert NOTE: The following article is over a year and a half old, but as relevant today, if not more so, as it was then. The 2018 elections, seven months later, evidenced the accuracy of the article conclusions. Considering the nascent 🕊 #ChristiansAgainstTrump movement, which includes many 2016 Christian voters for Trump who will certainly not vote for Trump in 2020, the 2020 election results for Trump, and all the other Republican ANTI-Christian politicians supporting him, may very well be a MASSIVE LOSS.

SNIPPET:

The Republican political strategist and media consultant Rick Wilson coined the phrase: “Everything Donald Trump touches, dies.” Considering his six bankruptcies, his failed attempt to sell steak, his bankrupt casino, his marriages, his joke of a university and the steady stream of employees who have left the White House with their careers in ruins, the description seems appropriate.

So – in hindsight – when a man with the touch of death embraced American Evangelicals, perhaps they should have been a bit more cautious. Instead, they embraced him, too – and it hasn’t gone particularly well for either of them. ...


... Whatever the cause may be, the effect is clear. By turning a blind eye to Trump’s immorality, bullying, philandering, racism, lying, cheating and vulgarity – and declaring him, as James Dobson did, a “baby Christian,” American evangelicals are starting to draw the ire of their fellow Americans. “Evangelical” in many circles has grown so synonymous with “hypocrite” that some organizations are beginning to abandon the name.
