    Earlier in this campaign season, before Donald Trump advised his Twitter followers to “check out sex tape,” before The Washington Post published a video with Trump talking crudely about sex and sexual assault, as many as 78 percent of white, evangelical Christians said they planned to vote for him.

    Now, the flagship magazine of evangelical Christianity is blasting the Republican presidential nominee – and criticizing the Christians who vote for him.

    “Enthusiasm for a candidate like Trump gives our neighbours ample reason to doubt that we believe Jesus is Lord,” Christianity Today editorial director Andy Crouch wrote Monday in an editorial. “They see that some of us are so self-interested, and so self-protective, that we will ally ourselves with someone who violates all that is sacred to us.”

    Christianity Today was founded by evangelist Billy Graham in 1956 and today serves as a major voice of evangelicals, who make up about more than a quarter of the U.S. population.

    This is the silver lining.

    Trump is taking out the GOP establishment and making the evangelicals freak out.

    The Venn Diagram of racists, evangelicals and Trump supporters would look like a short stack of pancakes.

    This will be the thread that brings back Jesus son of god back to the forum again! I notice he avoids the Trump forums probably so he doesn't lose his cool.

    Well, you're a dog, so...

    BTW, Christianity Today magazine has a print circulation of approximately 118,000, of which approximately 36,000 is free.

    Evangelicals read The Bibble. Ok? The Holy Bibble. They don't read this thing. Nobody does. I wouldn't use it to line my birdcage. And I could use it: my birdcage is huge. I don't like birds. I have people in my birdcage. People dressed as birds! Before he died Dom Deluise spent a few summers as a owl at my place in Palm Beach. He complained a lot but it was hilarious. The kids really, really enjoyed waiting until he fell asleep and spraying him with the garden hose. After he died I made a very good offer to John McCain to take his place. Very good. But McCain only likes being in a cage AGAINST his will. I'm more like Jesus than he is. Way more.

    Bump!

    Some of you get so angry over anyone and anything that has denounced Trump. I guess this must make Jesus and evangelicals democrats now.

    Odd. I see mainly the anti-trump actually replying. As for the paper... yes, Hillary Clinton would have been a much better choice for evangelicals! /sarcasm
