I stumbled on this YouTube channel called Holy Koolaid and decided to watch a couple. I don't expect anyone else to watch; I get it. But damn, this is disturbing to me. How can so many purposely remain so damn blind?

Had I still been a church-goer, I have no doubt I'd be looking around at the congregation and pastor(s) wondering what in the world had gone wrong with them.
Here they are praising a man (praising a man!) whose entire way of being goes against almost everything preached to the people.
Like, if I did just a tenth of what Trump has done, they'd be praying over me to be rid of the demonic influences over me.
It's ridiculous.
And it shows every single one of them as the hypocrites they are.

When did Evangelicals quit helping the less fortunate? Perhaps you know of different religious convictions than I do, as I'm no expert but just asking based on my past experiences.
I quit attending in late '14, as I didn't appreciate the piousness of my group. I can still pray at home.
And I am more open minded about my personal beliefs than many Christians I've met. Much more so.mother moon -she's calling me back to her silver womb,

I used to go to church. I don't now mainly because i umpire during the winter months.
But when i did it was amazing at how many people were die hard church goers.
IMO i think it's better to just be a humble fan of church rather than being forced to go because some imaginary person is telling you what to do.

I'm not saying they stopped, but the priorities have changed. More time and effort spent on conservative politics and on conservative private education. They don't want their kids to be around liberals.

Even though I'm not a fan of Barry Goldwater I think this quote contains quite a bit of truth:
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
C/S,
