Exposing Americas Biggest Hypocrites: Evangelical ChristiansIts okay to prey as long as you pray.
11/24/2017 12:27 pm ET Updated 13 hours ago
Ahhh, Christianity in America. Or should I say, the single greatest cause of atheism today.
You know who Im talking about, right? The type of people who acknowledge Jesus with their words, and deny him through their lifestyle. The ones who preach the importance of traditional family values, all while holding a rally and offering standing ovations for a man who preyed on 14-year-old girls.
The ones who look to excuse the despicable allegations directed at Roy Moore by literally quoting the bible, comparing his molestation to Joseph and Mary. I give you the most hypocritical religious group in America, Evangelical Christians.
Aside from preaching anti-LGBT rhetoric and abstinence to the world, evangelical Christians have proudly touted themselves as righteous do-gooders doing the Lords work. Until you insert politics into the mix. Then the Lords work means about as much to them as consent means to Donald Trump.
In 2016, 72 percent of evangelicals reported that immoral leaders could still govern ethically, which was validated when 81 percent of white evangelicals who voted last year cast their ballot for Donald Trump. They were happy to shelve their morality in order to justify electing a thrice-married, casino mogul who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy and rarely goes to church ― but yeah, thanks Jesus. And now theyre ratcheting up the hypocrisy even further with the stern defense of alleged child molester Roy Moore.

"They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness."

You won't sit back and watch? Ok. So, where do you think your church donations go?
