    Well I guess your personal experience proves it then. I know numerous evangelicals that study their bibles daily. Perhaps you should take a less narrow-minded view?

    I doubt it, they are far right, they may just stay home and not vote in 2020 if Trump the candidate the right chooses for their party

    Where did you get the idea that Christianity Today is far right? Do you just make up "facts"?

    It surprises me how many people believe in (a) God or God's.
    I suppose if they get comfort from such beliefs then it is nice for them.

    Billy Graham was a hell, fire, and damnation preacher, and full of bullsh*t. You would have laughed at him in the past, but because the Graham mag says Trump is awful you now like that kind of thing. Typical. In case you haven't noticed Christianity today is full of greedy, lying, begging, thieving televangelists. They are insane and no one should care what they think.

    The Grahams have always been a clan of egomaniacs who actually think they can save people's souls. What a crock. The Grahams were buds with the Clintons. That should tell you everything you need to know.

    I see trumpers cite op-eds and opinion pieces in all manner of publications when it suits them. Here, we have an editor writing a thoughtful, well-reasoned op-ed about why he feels Trump should be removed. Whatever Billy Graham was like and whatever else Christianity Today publishes, it doesn't take away from the content of this op-ed.

    I might also point out that calling for Trump's removal to an evangelical audience is not the best way to enrich yourself at this point in time precisely because of how many in the audience are bound to be upset by it.

    Only a minority believe as you do. You want to think nothing times nobody = everything, knock yourself out.

    OK, see how that works out for you.

    Want to name some of those televangelists or did you just make that up? I thought so.

    That was one man's opinion, that has since been denounced by almost all of the evangelical world. His rant was factually wrong and just a regurgitation of Democrat talking points.

    He's retiring, he doesn't care, but Galli has long been seen as a liberal in the Evangelical world, probably why their subscriber base has been shrinking. If you like political correctness, race hustling, social justice and 'gun violence' issues, CT is your magazine. My question is, if Galli is criticizing Trump for being immoral with his past adultery, why isn't he condemning Mayor Pete for his homosexual relationship, which also violates Biblical standards?

    Ten allegations, probably written by the corrupt Andrew Weisman. Does that equal a conviction to you? There didn't seem to be any problem for Bill Clinton to be shown to have committed perjury, subornation of perjury, and obstruction. I suspect this lie will have a long LW life, like Cristiana Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth.

    What facts presented do you disagree with? Or did you not even read it? Didn't think so.

    That's two evangelicals, very impressive.

    The vast majority of evangelicals will vote for Trump. One Dem during a debate proposed taking away the tax exemption of churches who don't go along with the gay agenda, nobody on that stage disagreed with him. Why would an evangelical vote for that garbage?

    Damn, got me again, Well, I'll not be voting for Bill Clinton as President anymore either.

    Something over a 1000 prosecutors were willing to sign off on a petition saying they'd take the allegations to court. Not just people, prosecutors, lawyers employed by the government to make cases and expected not to waste the people's money, but okay, they're all part of the "Deep State" as is anyone without a KAG hat, I guess.

    Trump could put out a decree saying you all had to surrender your firstborn as consumed sacrifices to keep the stock market high. You'd not only make them get on the bus but give them catsup and recipes

    Always fun pointing out blatant LW hypocrisy.

    And I could find you 1000 with the other opinion, so what? No jury would convict Trump on those weak to say the least charges.

    I don't think religious organizations should be getting into politics.

    This is the editor of a magazine putting out an op-ed, not a religious organization getting into politics.

    Christianity does not believe that it should be limited in the areas of our lives it can address.

    The Leftists on this site are still locked into that paradigm.

    The reality is that both the GOP-E and the DNC-E are one in the same. Both are anti-Trump globalist factions. The Alt-Right feeds off of that same arrogance.

    With the left it's not so much and issue with as it is intolerance with anyone not orbiting their nucleus! But lets keep that between us, they all think they are the chosen people of tolerance ;) ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    No, they correctly think God can save you soul, if you accept His offer of salvation.

    Billy Graham was a bud of every POTUS since Truman.

    Let's pretend that CNN reliable. Who are these new subscribers? Probably a bunch of Andrew Jacksons and Mellow Guys.
