Christianity Today again slams Trump, raises issue of 'unconditional loyalty'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Christianity Today, the magazine founded by the late Reverend Billy Graham, renewed its criticism of President Donald Trump in a new editorial that cited his "misuses of power" and asked fellow Christians to examine their loyalty to him, days after a controversial editorial that called for his impeachment.

The 130,000-circulation magazine, which has 4.3 million monthly website viewers, in its editorial last week cited Trump's "profoundly immoral" conduct in office, drawing immediate criticism from Trump and dozens of evangelical leaders.

Evangelicals have been a bedrock of support for the Republican president, and the magazine noted in its new editorial, published Sunday, that Trump "has done a lot of good for causes we all care about."

But the magazine's president, Timothy Dalrymple, wrote in the editorial, headlined "The Flag in the Whirlwind," that evangelicals' embrace of Trump means being tied to his "rampant immorality, greed, and corruption; his divisiveness and race-baiting; his cruelty and hostility to immigrants and refugees."

5. Which candidate are those Evangelicals supporting in 2020?

Have the evangelicals evolved enough to accept pro choice, LGBT, no school prayers etc?

7. They'll still support Chump lockstep when the time comes.

It's those precious lifetime judiciary appointments they're after, and they will support any slimebag who says what they want to hear and gives them what they want.

8. No, and don't expect them to. Getting rid of Fat Nixon is crucial...

and anything that chips away at him is a good thing. Yes, Pence is a religious nutter, but there's no way with his wet noodle personality that he'd garner the same sort of cult-like devotion that Trump has. They're both dangerous but I think it would be easier to 'deal with' Pence than Trump.
