Now this is interesting. Even some staunch conservative republicans see the danger of political Christianity and the anointing of Trump as gods chosen divine earthly king. Political Christianity does more for the forces against the actual great teacher’s words than any imagined devil. What political Christianity endorses as the will of god, should make any real Christian republicans reconsider their faith.
The actions of the political Christian elite, will certainly at the very least keep any potential new young converts looking elsewhere for a connection with the spirit. They are leaving the faith in droves or not stepping into the holy wadding pool to get washed in the first place. The young apparently are not as naïve or blinded by politics as their parents or grandparents. They will only settle for the real teachers teaching of what love is. And lots of them are looking outside of any political based faith for that teaching.

A new anti-Trump conservative super PAC, the Lincoln Project, released a political ad this week, taking aim at evangelical Christians.
"The MAGA Church" video begins with a quote from Matthew 7:15:
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
“The super PAC’s advisors include several prominent Republicans including attorney George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway, and Jennifer Horn, the former Chairman of the NH Republican Party and the first Republican woman in New Hampshire nominated for federal office.
On its website, the Lincoln Project asserts that they maintain policy differences with Democrats, but they cannot in good conscience support a Trump re-election:
“[T]he priority for all patriotic Americans must be a shared fidelity to the Constitution and a commitment to defeat those candidates who have abandoned their constitutional oaths, regardless of party. Electing Democrats who support the Constitution over Republicans who do not is a worthy effort.”
As the video begins to wrap up, viewers see a clip of Paula White saying, “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”
Red text emerges on the screen as the gospel music crescendos:
“If this is the best American Christians can do? Then God help us all.”
