Evangelical leaders supporting trump are hurting chri$tinsanity

Sadly, to too many 'Evangelicals' faith has become a partisan political issue. It's not about the centrality of Christ, but of The Party. Trump is righteous in their minds, not because he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, but because he just so happens to be a Republican. Apparently, that's all it takes to be cleansed for your sins nowadays and to be born anew

She knows I'm agnostic (basically an atheist), but we get along pretty well as long as we avoid particular conversations.

I would be ticked if she voted for Trump over the abortion issue, which strikes me as a possibility, so it's better to not dig into it.

By the way, I got worse every time that I acquiesced to her requests that I get "healed" by some faith healer just to "shut her up" about it. I'm amazed that we're siblings given our differences about mystical crap. My oldest brother says that she was gullible for as long as he can remember.
