So, I guess it would have been better for Evangelicals to support the slightly less evil ( in their opinion) Hillary than the more evil (in their opinion) Trump? Loading the Supreme Court with leftists so no decision ever again would be balanced and then Evangelicals could have smugly sat back nodded their heads and said “Well, we didn’t support Trump”! That would have been a Pyrrhic victory of the worse sort. Explain to me exactly how Hillary is better than Trump? Trump’s marriages have been disasters. Not the most ethical businessman. Has lied. Ok. Got it. Hillary has been the persona of Tammy Wynnette’s “Stand by Your Man” enabling Bill in his sexual harassment and perhaps worse. I guess staying married is just so much better. At least the bimbo eruption team tells women not to mention being grabbed “or else” you will be the poster girl for dragging $100 through a trailer park. If Evangelicals are going to be pilloried, feminist should get an honorable mention. Let’s look at lying. Gee I have to make that one a toss up. Ethical behavior? Seems Hillary signed a paper about handling classified material. All we need to do is follow a trail of smashed I phones and bleached bit computer operating systems followed by the lies about it to understand everything is about Hillary. I guess for the left that qualifies as ethics? Oh, how did classified material get on a lap top used by a sexual predator? Oh never mind that is a question for another day. The entermingleing of Clinton foundation and State Department activities, well nothing to see there. Just don’t plan on testifying about It or you could end up dead, like the dude from the Carribean sh*t hole. So Christians had a choice. Vote for the lesser of two evils, Obviously not the proper lesser according to the Washington Post. Of course for Christians it is always the lesser of two evils. Funny, the founding fathers seemed to feel the same way. By the way, the only person I gave money to was Ben Carson so can I get an atta boy from the left? At least he is some what moral compared to the other two!

LTC David Brown - there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have done. Getting in bed with Stalin created the Cold War after WWII.

Capt Gregory Prickett - well we can agree that both aTrump and Hillary have their faults. It was going to be one of the two. I found Trump less flawed than Hillary.

Thanks for sharing PO1 Tony Holland. To be honest I don't trust the Washington Post to be honest when it comes to evangelicals.

LTC Stephen F. - antithism is not a "faith."
Just out of curiosity, do you not get involved because you don't have a good response to the questions?

My wife is a ordained elder in an evangelical Presbyterian church, I meet Evangelicals perhaps more than any single group.
As far as trumps actions goes he has pushed religious bigotry and bragged about assaulting women, Not to mention, something else that should raise red flags about hsui religious beliefs is that he ius a supposed Presbyterian who says he has never asked god for his forgiveness? According to that faith and the bible itself you can not be forgiven without asking for it.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - is it a PCA or PCUSA denomination that your wife is an ordained elder in?
Here in Virginia many long-standing Presbyterian Church's broke from the PCUSA over liberal stances in the 1980s. The congregations lost the churches and the minority maintained the building with many selling the property after the congregation was insufficient to maintain them.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (often abbreviated as PCUSA) was established by the 1983 merger of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, whose churches were located mainly in the South and in border states, with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, whose congregations could be found in every state.
In 1973, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) separated from the Presbyterian Church in the United States in “opposition to the long-developing theological liberalism which denied the deity of Jesus Christ and the inerrancy and authority of Scripture.” In 1982, the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod, joined the Presbyterian Church in America.
Size
The PCUSA is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. PCUSA has approximately 10,038 congregations, 1,760,200 members, and 20,562 ministers. The denomination has been steadily losing members and churches since 1983, and has lost 37 percent of its membership since 1992.
The PCA is the second largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. The PCA has approximately 1,808 congregations, 367,033 members, and 4,416 ministers. The denomination has been one of the faster growing denominations in the United States, growing tenfold since 1983.
Doctrinal Standards
PCUSA: The Bible and the Book of Confessions, which includes the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed, the Scots Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Second Helvetic Confession, the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Shorter Catechism, the Larger Catechism, the Theological Declaration of Barmen, the Confession of 1967, and the Brief Statement of Faith.
PCA: The Bible, the Westminster Confession of Faith, together with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, and the Book of Church Order.
Ordination
PCUSA: Allows for the ordination of both men and women, including non-celibate homosexuals.
PCA: Only ordains men in “obedience to the New Testament standard for those who rule the church and teach doctrine.”
Inerrancy
PCUSA: Does not teach that Scripture is inerrant.
PCA: Teaches that Scripture is inerrant.
Church Property
PCUSA: Church property belongs to the denomination.
PCA: Church property belongs to the local congregation without any right of reversion whatsoever to any Presbytery or General Assembly.

Korean Presbyterian Church Abroad affiliated pretty closely with the PCUSA, Most Korean families in the US are Christians ,80%, while only 30% in South Korea are, thus Koreans tend to be very tolerant of other religions. For example an elder having an aithist husband who helps arounf the church is not considered a problem
Her branch fit pretty well between the two US organizations, and individual churches vary pretty widely inside that band. For example the on Ordination they are like the PCUSA but on property they are like the PCA.
BTW have you read what Calvin said about Muslims and Jews?
