Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults.
“I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any age,” said Trump, receiving thunderous applause at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington last month. The Republican leader, who moments earlier had also pledged to reinstate a ban on transgender men and women serving in the military, paused for several seconds to soak in the crowd’s adulation.
It’s the kind of moment — and the type of policy — increasingly common on the GOP presidential campaign trail this year.
Evangelicals hang onto this chump’s every word. They have zero credibility. Funny how they’re supposed to love everyone and be tolerant, but they’re the most hateful intolerant people I’ve ever known.
It’s thanks to Trump and the churches’ not only acceptance, but adoration, that has made me completely dismiss religion. These people are completely full of shit and have zero credibility.
The veil is gone. They have no plausible deniability. They have lost the moral high ground with the rest of the country.

yup Trump is literally the epitome of lying, greed, adulterering,etc… They just choose to not believe any of it… That’s the problem with people like this. They’ll believe any fucking nonsense and that’s the only proof they need… Their faith.
We as a species that needs to evolve and hopefully last 65 million years like dinosaurs did will need to get past this phase of humanity. Sadly in my lifetime it wont happen, but hopefully eventually it will.
Need some fucking aliens to show up or something

Well when you see evangelical leaders making millions of dollars and living in multi million dollar mansions and telling their congregation they need to give more because Jesus wants them to have a private jet, pretty sure they’re in it just for the money at that point and they don’t care about anything else. I mean, anyone can get up on stage and talk out of their ass once a week for an hour and make it sound like God chose them for whatever. The only difference between them and the crazy person on the street is that the crazy person doesn’t have a congregation in front of them.
