Eighty percent of white evangelicals would vote against Jesus Christ himself if he ran as a Democrat

"But the ultimate answer may be the simplest. Mr. Trump owes his continued high standing among white evangelicals to the fact that nearly 40 years after the Moral Majority’s founding, the partisan meld is complete. Decades of fearmongering about Democrats and religious liberals have worked. Eighty percent of white evangelicals would vote against Jesus Christ himself if he ran as a Democrat.

They don't think they worship Satan, but they definitely serve Satan.

Would be voting to crucify him if they were the religious leaders of Palestine 2,000 years ago. As staunch conservatives they would be very scared of the guy preaching revolution and calling bullshit on hypocrisy.

Christ's priorities certainly resemble ours a lot more than those of our Rethug friends.

It would not in any way differ from what right-wing fundamentalist evangelicals have created. An ingenious corruption that undermines everything Jesus stood for.

I generally think (but don't say) that evangelists are idiots, but these people really are the ultimate hypocrites.

I HATE them.
