Sounds about right.

I was just thinking just today about how people just ignore the tyranny and torture the churches put upon the people for all of their history and right up to today with their sexism and homophobia.

And ironically, they are supposed to be the moral leaders; AND it is the secular community that is driving civil rights and leading the nation to more humanity and the churches that stand in the way.

And no better place to see it than the evangelicals support for Trump!!
