In reply to the discussion: Why do conservative evangelical Christians admire and worship trump? [View all]Johnny2X2X
(24,429 posts)Evangelicals read the bible and don't see, "love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control". They see vengeance, they see a way to subjugate people, and above all, they see violence towards and control of women.
They don't love Trump in spite of the fact that he's a serial sexual assaulter who disrespects women, they love him because of it. Trump has a record of rape and sexual assault as well as physical assaults on women, this is the natural order of the world to them, one where women are treated like property and blamed for most of the world's problems.
Trump is their hero because he cheats on his wives and rapes women. That's the ideal for a man based on the way they read the bible. This is the natural order of things to them. They really are not much different than ISIS. And if left to their own devices and given more control, they'd start pursuing the same practices that ISIS does. They ran a candidate in my home US House district who literally wrote that women shouldn't be allowed to work out of the home, and they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Your version of Christianity isn't their version. Their version is violent and vile. Their version would see women stoned to death for daring to question their husbands. Their version would see petty thieves have their limbs cut off. Their version would relegate women to being little more than livestock for men to beat and use. That's their version of Christianity and they can back it all up with the Bible.
