If Evangelicals ever had any integrity or moral authority, they have now lost it all.

There is nothing left for them to worship.

Their Golden Calf sits on a golden toilet seat.

They sacrificed all that is right and moral in order to support an evil and deceitful politician.

They have nothing left to offer.

Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, Ernest Ainsley, Jim and Tammy Fay Baker: NONE of them life their lives according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Snake Oil salemen, the lot of them!

is what these people are. They use a religion to push hatred, fascism and control by the elite.

Any god would be sending these scum bags straight to hell.

I can't recall who I heard say this, but "the Moral Majority is neither." Same with all of them. If Jesus were alive today, they would be demanding his execution.

Don't really remember where I picked it up. It's been true since the 80's.

I first heard it, too. Stuck with me, as it is so to the point. Darned if I can remember where I heard it, though.

Certainly not after voting out a devout Christian in favor of a divorced Hollywood actor.

blinded by their ignorance, hate, and arrogance.

In their relentless zeal to deny gay Americans their right to equal protection of the law, to deny women their right to privacy, and to violate the Framers’ mandate that church and state remain separate, they’ll climb into bed with any reprehensible Republican who likewise has nothing but contempt for the rights and protected liberties of the American people.

Religious fundamentalism is the bane of the American Nation.

is that they cannot, at some future date, throw the "conservative family values" horsecrap around when bashing democrats.

Now we can tell them STFU you supported trump; you can't just conveniently reclaim your values whenever you conveniently see fit.

After all, their leaders get instructions directly from god. Evangelicals are eager to throw the first stone.

These rightwing so-called evangelical Christians are nuts, they're radicals.
I've never felt they represented Christianity, and sadly this is largely what is represented as Christianity in this country.
That's why I've always loathed them.
The only consolation is that they've made it blatantly obvious with their fervent support of Trump.
