that evil people can cloak themselves with it and look evangelical to fools. It is not a new problem and it will never go away. Religion is faith based, not fact based. Charlatans find it to be fertile grounds for deception.

I started looking online and checking people out. I noticed damn near every roofer, painter, handyman, plumber and AVAC guy advertised as a Christian business, with Bible verses in their ads and printed on their vehicles.

I asked a retired construction guy, and he said "Of Course!" That is what they all do. If you are going to hire someone who is going to be working around your house and working up bills you will owe, most folks will choose the religious guys.

Their faith I am sure it will never survive.

The young are turning away because they understand Science. The fairy tale that is Religion has been shattered. Only the ignorant remain.

As a Christian I am forced to realize they see Religion as a control mechanism, nothing more.

The hate has come to the front. I have always just seen it as a guide for doing right. Caring for others, being a better person.

And the evangelicals haven't said a word about it!

The very thing that frightens them the most is attached to Donald J Trump, but they choose to look the other way.

Had this been under Obama or any Democrat's watch (LOL; as if) this would be the hot button issue for them. The Devil has infiltrated our government and all that shit.
