Thank you for your comment. It is sad that we are in this place, but I am glad to see that there are other Christians who feel the same way.

My non-christian friends and I cannot comprehend the illogical reasoning behind a person who claims to follow the scripture. I have more in common with my moral, non-christian friends than with christian friends I’ve know for 40 years. You’re article voiced my thoughts exactly. I am re-sharing it with my group because I have tried to be a good witness as a follower and it defines my thoughts better than I can. Thank you for your voice.

I feel your frustration and pain and completely relate to it. I am glad you were able to find this essay and that it resonated with you. The church situation is difficult. For me, I felt it was important that my family and I continued attending church but when we moved across the country a little less than two years ago we did end up changing denominations and were very conscious about finding a church that had not prostrated to Trump. I pray peace and healing find their way to you.

I simply typed in Google “I am angry at evangelicals” and your essay popped up. I read it several times. Honestly, your essay very closely explains my feelings of betrayal.
I do not know how to remedy these deeply ingrained hypocritical beliefs that are, simply put, killing our country. I will not return to church until I am able to again feel renewed by the experience. I don’t believe it will be anytime soon.
Thanks for sharing,
Candace

Thank you for this. I asked my husband how much have the anti abortion people donated or volunteered at local pro life pregnancy centers. Our local one was suffering due to the pandemic. Luckily his church came through with a large donation. And how many actually realize that overturning RoeV Wade will not make abortions illegal.

It is good to hear that his church is stepping up and helping.

I completely agree.

Christ as “servant” seems to be a repulsive concept for many evangelicals today. MAGA has been distorted by the competitive culture warrior mindset which has no room for “losers”. Dialogue becomes impossible.
