Explaining evangelical support for Donald Trump in a nutshell:
"One moment in the movie that left me shaking my head in all too believable “disbelief” was when one of the most loyal followers of Dave Koresh was challenged by an outsider pointing to some of Koresh’s blatant moral failings. With unshakable faith the loyal follower replied that he wished with all his being that God had chosen anyone else except Vernon Howell (who took the name Dave Koresh) to be his prophet because he could scarcely imagine a less likeable person, . . . BUT, he was the one God had chosen, and he had to accept that, and submit to God’s will."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That's also why the Xians support Trump -- they've convinced themselves that the most godless man alive is god's choice for president. Why? Because they're primarily republican and Trump was the republican they chose. Now, despite ALL evidence against it, they proclaim him sacrosanct because where would people be without the power to rationalize their own irrationalities?
Religion is a disease that makes people really stupid.

Gotta accept god's choice. He gave you free will to follow his orders, didn't he?

"Gotta accept god's choice." Except when you refuse to accept god's choice. Obama come to mind anyone?
