These Conservative Christians Are Opposed to Trump—and Suffering the Consequences
I find it disturbing how much a lot of modern Christianity has hitched its wagon to a Republican agenda. Jesus didn't come to earth for conservatives, to establish a political dominion here. He came for liberals, conservatives, Trump voters, Hillary voters, Socialists, Communists, and everyone in between. Associating Christianity with any political party weakens the church and takes it off message.
It's no wonder that so many young people in the 18-25 bracket are falling away from the church in the 21st century. They see the church as a Republicans only club, full of condemnation for The Other (homosexuals, liberals, Transgendered, etc) and very short on any kind of the love that Christians are supposed to have towards their neighbor. Shame on the organizations mentioned in this column that shun others for having different views, whatever those views may be.
