    moral supremacy

If Evangelicals really believed this, they wouldn't support the most immoral president in modern history. He personally violates nearly every principle they claim to hold dear.

I think many people assumed that I support Trump, or that I think Christians should support Trump. I do not. I took the opportunity of this article to vent some other thoughts that were related - like the article's bashing of Christians who do support Trump because it's an easy attack.

I also would like to go back to a point I made elsewhere in this thread that the reason many Evangelicals voted for Trump is because they decided that in the final analysis, Clinton was the more immoral choice for the country. Again, I don't agree or disagree with that position, but I heard it from a LOT of more moderate Trump supporters.

The fundamental question is why everyone can see this but Evangelicals.

That sounds like a decent prescription to me, man.
