White voters who identify as evangelical Christians, a key bloc of support for President Trump in 2016, broke heavily for him again this week, according to exit polling data.
White evangelical and born-again Christian voters voted for the president 76 percent to 23 percent, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. However, the margin was down slightly from 2016, when exit polling indicated white evangelicals voted for Trump by a margin of 81 percent to 16 percent.
The 2016 numbers were the widest split since exit polling began including white evangelicals as a category in 2004.
The only group exit polling found with a higher percentage supporting the president were those who identified as Republicans or conservatives.

As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace. Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

(21,213 posts)You cant say you love Jesus and love MF45 and what he represents.
The evangelicals I know are weak people who gravitated to the church for comfort and authoritarianism.

(16,129 posts)and he really is the anti-christ they've been warned about.
That's the only way this tracks, unless they don't actually follow their own holy book.
Oh, that's more likely, they don't follow the purported teachings of their religion.

(100,107 posts)Is how in one sentence, they will say the most vile, hateful, abusive shit you've ever heard in your life. And the next sentence they will be saying "praise Jesus" and "love thy neighbor". Fucking hypocrites, the whole lot of 'em!

(27,840 posts)this is just in their DNA, apparently, to follow hypocritical, misogynistic autocrats. Trump is cut out of the same cloth, apparently.

(100,107 posts)He said that right wing evangelicals don't worship Jesus. No, they worship the Old Testament god, and that god is a raging, egomaniacal asshole, much in the same way Trump is.

I can't really wrap my head around it. I am guessing they are Churches like Trump University is a University.
He said to them, 24 Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, Sir, open the door for us. But he will answer, I dont know you or where you come from. 26 Then you will say, We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets. 27 But he will reply, I dont know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers! 28 There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.
