The Christian Right Has Abandoned Spiritual Goals For Secular Goals. By Doing So, They Have Damaged The View Their God Has Of Them. Evangelicals Know Donald Trump Is A Sinner And They Don’t Care. That Means They Have Lost Their Claim To Religious Credibility. Jesus Wouldn’t Vote For Trump. Neither Would The Founding Fathers

The Founding Fathers saw no place in our government for religion. That is why the separation of church and state is part of the Constitution. The Christian right tries to justify their fall from grace by saying they hold their noses at supporting the immoral, violent Trump because he delivers on issues that matter to them, like getting rid of Roe v Wade, creating an alt-correct Supreme Court, and rejecting non-white, non-heterosexual people. The beliefs and behaviors of the Christian right have revealed them to be non-Christian. This photo says it all. He fakes a love for the Bible but lives a life that ignores its values. He gives real Christians who are not corrupted and hateful a lousy name.

Proof of the fact that the Christian right have lost their way is that there are many other anti- abortion, religious conservative, non-violent Republican candidates to support, however they continue to support Trump. Is that the definition of a cultist, a hypocrite or a hater? Why don’t they care that he is proven to be:

▪︎ An indicted criminal accused of trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election.

▪︎ A proven liar and conspiracy theorist

▪︎ A business and charity fraud

▪︎ An adulterer

▪︎ A hater of American institutions, including the Constitution

▪︎ A lover of dictators

▪︎ A religious faker

▪︎ A felon convicted of election interference

▪︎ A violent, hateful revenge addict

▪︎ An alleged instigator of the Jan. 6th insurrection

▪︎ An election denier

▪︎ An enemy of American allies

▪︎ A sore loser

▪︎ A tax evader

▪︎ A sexual assaulter

▪︎ An anti-supporter of defending Ukraine to help Putin

Mike Pence was the #1 emasculated bootlicker of Donald Trump while serving as vice president. A professed evangelical Christian, he defended Trump no matter how illegal or immoral he behaved. I suppose evangelicals are not immune from being pathologically opportunistic. However, on January 6th, Pence chose the Constitution over his fealty to Trump and certified the electoral vote which elected Joe Biden, president of the United States. He may have decided that he did not want to end up at Rikers Island because of a loyalty to Trump. Alternatively, he may have just felt a loyalty to his oath and the country.

Pence is also showing authentic integrity by announcing he will not be supporting Donald Trump for president. If Pence is committed to not supporting Trump’s bid to become president, he should also encourage evangelicals not to vote for him. As an evangelical, he should try to restore esteem to the religion and write in his name on the ballot or anyone else’s name besides Trump.

You cannot support a person like Trump and then declare you are a person of high morals and character. Such denial is an attempt to manage shame, but it doesn’t erase the truth of a broken character. The accusations, indictments, and convictions of Trump are fact-based. There is no weaponized, two- tiered justice system persecuting him. Republicans just happened to elect a criminal to represent their party.
