In terms they should understand: Evangelicals supporting Trump are Whited Sepulchers


Definition of whited sepulcher

1

a person inwardly corrupt or wicked but outwardly or professedly virtuous or holy : hypocrite



Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. (Matthew 23:25-28)

But this reminds me of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Which I enjoyed!

... wrote Letters to the Editor down here in South Carolina supporting Trump. They were careful to note that they were doing so as private citizens and not as god's messengers on Earth. Can't give up that sweet, sweet tax exemption, ya'll!
