Yes, I get it. They're supposedly moral leaders and they're appearing to be huge hypocrites in their support of Trump who probably can't even spell 'morals' let alone have any. 

So. What.

Are you an evangelical? A Christian? A member of the group of Christianity that these "leaders" are supposed to be a leader of? If so, okay, I can get your complaint. I, too, dislike people purporting to be Christians, but whose actions tell a different story, especially those who are supposedly leaders. 

But, if you, as I suspect, are none of these things then why do you care? Why do you care if certain Christian 'leaders' are hypocrites? Why do you care if Christianity's reputation is tarnished because of these guys?

Because I am a Christian and these are weapons used to attack us and how can I blame people for questioning the legitimacy of our beliefs when the hypocrisy is there for everyone to judge.

It's politics that has ruined religion. It's our religious leaders that prompt up people like Trump and Kim (who had 3 husbands and cheated on all of them, had kids by men she was cheating with while married, and yet we praised her for standing for the sanctity of marriage). We keep doing this and we keep seeing people flee the religion.

Just because I don't support Trump doesn't mean I'm not a Christian. Not sure what I've ever done to give you the assumption outside of criticizing Trump and being Pro America and Pro Vets.

You tell society people like Trump and Kim are our moral compass and you expect to reach out to those who may have doubts? I don't think it works that way and thus we are failing.
