I have no issue with criticizing Christians. My issue is your statement that simply because a Christian voted for Trump, they are hypocrites.
It's not about the person, it's about their platform. Do you really think voting for Hillary would make someone a better Christian?
Where did I state that every Christian who voted for trump is a hypocrite? I know a lot of people see trump's faults but still held their nose and voted for him. They're not hypocrites.
It's the MAGAt yahoos who actually believe that trump is some kind of savior fighting the swamp on their behalf and who defend/deflect him for all the bad things that he's done (26+ sexual assaults/rapes, 5 children with 3 different women, stiffed subcontractors out of payment for their time & materials, etc.) that I think are hypocrites and/or dupes. They like to say that he's just "fighting back" or defending himself when he acts like a bully and/or calls people juvenile names but if anyone says anything bad about him or the MAGAt yahoos then they're "lashing out". trump and the MAGAt yahoos are thin-skinned weenies who can't take what they dish out.
I'm no theologian but I personally think the adulation for trump in many cases is a violation of Exodus 20:3-5.
There are at least a few conservatives and Republicans still fighting back.
Donald Trump has “the moral compass of an axe murderer”, a Republican opponent in Georgia said, discussing the former president’s legal predicament in the southern US state and elsewhere but also his continuing dominance of the presidential primary.
“As Republicans, that dashboard is going off with lights and bells and whistles, telling us all the warning things we need to know,” Geoff Duncan told CNN on Monday.
“Ninety-one indictments,” Duncan said. “Fake Republican, a trillion dollars’ worth of debt [from his time in the White House], everything we need to see to not choose him as our nominee, including the fact that he’s got the moral compass of a … more like an axe murderer than a president.
“We need to do something right here, right now. This is either our pivot point or our last gasp as Republicans.”
