I feel like if this thread involved black evangelicals instead of white evangelicals, it would be taken down.

Yay, let's call an entire group of people stupid because they don't like the same candidates we do.

There was only one candidate who supported policies opposite of what Christ taught.

Oddly enough that is who evangelicals flocked to in droves.

Christ did not teach moral policies of the government, if you are talking about the "red letters," so I don't see how you can say that government policy has anything to do with teachings on individual morality by Jesus.  Besides, if John 1 is to be believed, then Christ (and the Holy Spirit, which is God along with the son) is the author of the whole Bible.  This isn't to excuse Trump's immorality, and I was not a supporter of him, but if you think that Christianity demands nonviolence on the part of the government, then that directly contradicts Romans 13:4 as well as pro-capitalist verses such as 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

I'm just going to point this out;

These verses certainly show that Trump does not bear the marks of a true Christian, but virtually none of them have to do with government policy.  I am not arguing in defense of Trump the man, but rather what the Christian view of government is, which I would assert is vastly different than the responsibility of individual Christians.

Government Policy doesn't or shouldn't dictate what the morality of the society should be?
