Though if Trump came out and said he was a Muslim, so would all his supporters.

They hate black man more than they love their God.

[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

-- Matt.22 Verses 34 to 40

If they loved their god, they'd listen to what he said.

They don't.

believe in God. And then you have the ones that are in it for power, the ones the Family/National Prayer breakfast types, non of these people seem to care about God in a traditional sense, except when they are being hypocritical.

Christian. It is all power, money, control. They prey on the vulnerabilities of the weak.

"His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."

“If we don’t reverse course now (in support for tRump), will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come?”

Oh, I think the time for Xians to reverse course on their embrace of radical RW politics was about 40 years ago. The only people who take their moral pronouncements seriously are their fellow Kool Ade drinkers. The rest of the world just shakes their heads or laughs at them.

The editor stated that he's an independent.

I don't know too much about the history of Christianity Today, and didn't know they were founded by Billy Graham. I have read a few of their articles online through out the years and they didn't strike me as crazy.
