Trump blasts Christian magazine that called for his removal

WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump is blasting a prominent Christian magazine that published an editorial arguing that he should be removed from office.
Trump tweeted Friday morning that Christianity Today, an evangelical magazine founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President. The magazines editor-in-chief published an argument for Trumps removal on Thursday, citing his blackened moral record.
While Trump wrote that the magazine has been doing poorly and hasnt been involved with the Billy Graham family for many years, some of his strongest evangelical supporters -- including Grahams son -- were rallying to his side and against the magazine. Their pushback underscored the political value of Trumps hold on the evangelical Christian voting bloc that helped propel him into office and suggested the editorial would likely do little to shake that groups loyalty.
Rev. Franklin Graham, who now leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and prayed at Trumps inauguration, tweeted Friday morning that his late father would be disappointed in the magazine. Graham added that he felt it necessary following the editorial to share that his father, who died last year after counseling several past presidents, had voted for Trump.

But I guess a lot of evangelicals have already made up their minds whom they serve, and it sure as Hell* isn't Jesus.
*I don't believe in Hell, but the evangelicals do. Why they'd risk what they believe to be their immortal souls by pledging fealty to this depraved, iniquitous president** is beyond me.
**Impeached president

I would think the religious right would be thrilled with Pence over Trump.

Who knows enough straws and the entire tide will turn. And the evil will get removed from ever holding another public office.
