"Evangelicals"- Where Is Your Outrage?

To all those on the alt-right/ Evangelicals who wrap themselves up in the Bible, my question is simple: How can you still endorse a man who, without a second's hesitation, would commit sexual battery on your wife or daughter? The hypocrisy is appalling. You dare lecture progressives because we want women to have control over their bodies, and would allow LGBT people to live in peace and without any legal discrimination. Yet you coddle and enable this Neanderthal. You need to look deep inside yourselves, and realize if you still support DT your are living a lie. Don't you ever dare criticize anyone else for their social viewpoints if you persist in supporting DT. To the Evangelicals who still endorse this creep: This upcoming piece of tape where DT casually uses "nigger" will make no difference either, will it? Fundamentalist religious sectarian hatred is the cause of most of the world's conflicts, because fundamentalists can not be reasoned with. RJM

Evangelicals are playing the long game.

They'll vote for anyone who will try to overturn Roe v Wade.

I don't see them doing much for kids who are born to moms too poor to support them, or for babies who are actually abandoned by teens who never got sex education.

If they don't believe in abortion, then they shouldn't have one. Otherwise, live and let live.

Santa Claus
Easter Bunny
Tooth Fairy
Their actual "faith"
"god"
"Jeebus"

And any other made up nonsense that has been used to separate and control humanity over the millennia.

The blatant hypocrisy of the fundamentalists in any religion, but especially American Evangelicals, is disgusting and enough to make me vomit.

Them staying with Trump even through admission of being a sexual predator is the perfect capstone for their "movement". I have more respect for my own bowel movements than any Fundamentalist, Evangelical fraud.

concubines etc. Somehow they always find a way to make it ok - no matter how contorted the logic behind it.

My question - why do you only extend this biblical interpretation and forgiveness to those with R after their names? Why don't you forgive the Clintons? What did God say to make Trump deserving of forgiveness, but not the Clintons?
