It is amazing to see the Evangelical Hypocrites that are

supporting Trump. I see today Pence is at Liberty University today to sell the Trump ideology.
Im sure not every student on that campus agrees with Trump's ideas but I just think it is so hypocritical for the faculty and students that support Trump that will study and preach the gospel one day and then the next day attend a political rally that supports this sexist,perverted Republican candidate.

It is really funny that in 2008 evangelicals thought Obama was the ant-Christ and here in 2016 they think Trump is the second coming of Christ.

great churches in our area taken over by the Republican saints where liberals were no allowed.
Their membership dwindled to very small numbers and two of those churches actually closed.

I didn't mean all Evangelicals are hypocrites.
I should have said "for those Evangelicals that support Trump are being hypocritical"
but as the WaPo article referenced in this thread is probably pretty accurate.

as the harbinger of the End Times or even the Anti-Christ himself. Many fundamentalists will support anything or anyone that might fulfill bible prophecy. Of course, I'm inclined to think that many of them are just flat out hypocrites.

Hypocrite. Evangelicals are the biggest phonies in the world. They use their fake piousness to humblebrag their superiority. That's all it is them, a means of showing off.

12. The evangelical hypocrisy this year is nothing short of stunning.

By all accounts, Hillary is a strong supporter of her family and church, not to mention all of her work (especially with her foundation) to help those whom Christ would identify as needing the most help. Despite all of this, evangelicals loathe her more than Obama. Meanwhile, Trump is as close to the devil incarnate as any American candidate has ever been and they cannot embrace him enough.

The hypocrisy, stupidity and hatred runs deep in evangelicals who are doing anything but the work of Jesus.

14. They think EVERY GOP candidate is "God's chosen candidate"

In 4 years, they'll be saying "David Duke and his running mate, Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty, are GAWD's chosen candidates!"
