So, if you have a conversation with an evangelical who voted for

Trump to gain a SCOTUS advantage just remember Mark 8:36.

"For what profit it a man, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?"

They hate it when you quote their own bible at them . . .

I honestly believe that many of those who are able to quote the bible, chapter and verse, think certain "edicts" don't apply to them. Or, that they can spend a measly hour in a church once a week, have the "slate" wiped clean, and go right back to business as usual.

Right wing christians have been warning us about the anti-christ for over 2000 years. And when he finally showed up..... they VOTED for him!

Trump was not God answering your prayers but instead God testing you. And you failed.

Oh, they hate that one.

All they care about is saving fetuses and stopping gays/transgenders. They aren't in it for the profit.

"Or what should a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Did they sell their soul?

The bible is replete with verses that should shame conservative Christians. They never are.
