Silence, collusion and support condemn conservative Evangelical Trump supporterrs [View all]

Well, here we are.

Though the Epstein files haven't been completely released, they are full of redactions which the Justice department inserted to make sure there is no transparency, and we are just beginning to discover the scope of what they reveal, the current sitting President has not only not been exonerated, he has been implicated as one of the worst participants in a crime of unfathomable immorality, something most Americans consider to be a sign of the worst possible corruption of the human spirit, and that is the sexual violation and molestation of children.

Oh, yes, I understand innocent until proven guilty and all of that. This President is already under indictment for causing an insurrection, and for stealing classified documents. He's an adjudicated rapist. He admitted to some of his worst immorality, short of what's been uncovered in the Epstein files, long before he descended the golden escalator and ran for President in 2016. So the only explanation, really, for the support he has received from conservative Evangelicals is that they are a cult, in the truest sense of the term, which has completely abandoned the core principles of the Christian gospel they claim to proclaim.

They are pseudo-Christian, using familiar terms and practices, but they are empty of conviction, as the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, "holding to the outward form of godliness but denying it's power." [2 Timothy 3:5.] What is preached from their pulpits is hypocritical, for the most part, especially if they can continue to separate their own conscience from their support for Trump and claim that they are two different and separate things. But, they're not.
