    It’s almost like he’s antithetical to everything Christ ever preached or something.

    Frankly I’m surprised more Christians don’t reject him on that principle, but then, religion has never been based in logic.

      What made me leave the church and ultimately Christianity was how they defended being pro-life.

      Christians would have voted in Satan himself he would promise an end to abortion.

      I’ve had countless Christians in 2016 say “Yeah, Trump is a bad guy but I know he’ll end abortion.”

      They never realized that their desire for an end to abortion meant the election of the devil. And now they worship him at the alter of Trump and still call themselves Christians.

      That’s because most Americans don’t read, so most American Christians have never read the Bible, and have no idea what Jesus was about other than whatever they hear preached at their church… Which is often wildly off.

      Now, being Christian is more of a cultural identifier, a team sport, with no real coherent theology or philosophy underpinning it.
