“For years, secular progressives (aka- "libruls", my addition) have said that evangelical social action in America is not about religious conviction but all about power.”
“They have implied that the goal of the Religious Right is to cynically use the ‘moral’ to get to the ‘majority,’ not the other way around. This year, a group of high-profile old-guard evangelicals has proven these critics right.” - Russell D. Moore, president of the
Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention

And so it is. For leaders of the religious right to support Donald Trump is a betrayal of their faith at best; rank hypocrisy at worst. Trump is the antithesis of the Christian virtues these self appointed guardians of morality claim to hold...A serial adulterer...implicitly accepting the support of white supremacists and Neo-Nazis...cheerfully denigrating minorities, women, and anyone else he can potentially bully into submission...failing to repent of his sins and accept Jesus Christ as his Savior. How can they support Trump, unless they are only paying lip-service to the teachings of Christ?
