JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A FEW ADDITIONAL NOTES ON TRUMP’S EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN SUPPORT – ITS IRRATIONAL AND, YES, ITS IRRELIGIOUS NATURE

 John Chuckman

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS

“Trump's conservative Christian support flows from a specific perspective on issues of church and state”

 

I actually don't believe we can make a rational case for Evangelical Christians supporting Trump.

Every private, intimate account we've had of him – and we have had a record number – describes a man of no ethical or religious principles, and that only confirms what we all can observe.

Evangelical support represents an emotional mishmash of God Bless America, Guns, Old Glory, and a lot of other impulses and attitudes, some quite dark, but nothing consistent with the core Christian value of Christ's great commandment.

Or even with the old Ten Commandments Christ said he was replacing. Trump has broken most of the Ten while we watched.
