Exposing the Truth for Base Believers

Trump was elected with help from the religious right, and that includes self-proclaimed "evangelical" Christians. If you're curious about this distinction, the word is defined as: "of or according to the teaching of the gospel or of the Christian religion". Sounds kind of like a "round circle" to me. Anyway, for almost four years now, as we watch 45's parade of cruel acts, statements, and executive orders, slews of Americans have been stumped by how this base continues to support Donald Trump, while maintaining that their faith supports this ongoing preference for him over an alternative. This collection of essays by 30 evangelical Christians challenges his supporters to take a true look at what the Bible says and how their leader is behaving. Although the positions were generally more conservative than mine, I found the array of perspectives presented here interesting and enlightening. The problem is that these clear explanations of how Trump pretty much does the opposite of what is taught by parents, churches, temples, etc. will not ever reach the eyes of those who could benefit from this information, because it seems they're not searching for answers. They're searching for the justification of what they (and Trump) are doing. So therein lies the rub, folks.
