Since the election of President Donald Trump, many Christians are asking: How could so many {self-described} Christ-followers agree with actions that are so decisively un-Christlike? Many Christians are struggling to understand how two things that are diametrically opposed to one another — Trump’s policies versus following the gospel of Christ — can be possibly reconciled.

How does one cope with the fact that their church passionately endorsed {and still supports} a candidate associated with xenophobic, discriminatory, racist, and fear-mongering agendas?

Instead of being an earnest endeavor to follow the Prince of peace, the Comforter, the Healer, the Deliverer, the Good Shepherd, and King of Kings — Jesus — many discovered that their faith-based institutions were being used as props to gain political control, wealth, comfort, and carnal power. And instead of being pointed unequivocally to a Divine King, many found themselves following a religion yearning for an earthly king.

Despite Sunday school, youth group, small groups, and countless church services listening, learning, and talking about helping the poor, taking care of those in need, and loving your neighbor, there was suddenly a deafening silence — even an opposition — to supporting the widow, fighting systemic injustice, caring for the poorest of the poor, and following the examples of Jesus.

Oops! I meant to say: In the case of Mark Lee- he didn’t claim to be a Christian.

He’s just an attention-seeking nutjob who deliberately threw that offensive line out there simply for shock value.

A lot of Christians are the biggest hypocrites there are. […]

So true BD, which is why I long ago adopted the term “Christianist” (shout out to Andrew Sullivan) to describe a person who claims to be a “Christian” but in fact seeks to use the Christian faith for political and personal gain. Their words and deeds give them away (hypocrites, liars and frauds)

Truth my friend you are right again. This guy is so stupid he sees Trump as his poster boy. But for him being Christian I believe that part. A lot of Christians are the biggest hypocrites there are. They twist and turn things to fit whatever they need at the time. So he probably is just what he showed himself to be. A dumb Christian following another dummy.
